...many of them working very actively for the people. For instance, at Hasedera Temple Nara which we visited in June (http://www.hasedera.or.jp/),  the priests were actually having a meeting in the omido not minding visitors and tourists. I thought it was very healthy and great.
...Japanese Buddhist temple called Chofukuji in Nagano... seems a good example of living temple.
