詣 means 'go deep'

As Japanese Buddhist temples are eminently tranquil, it's unthinkable that, as this bundle shows (especially the 毀 essay), an 1868 government mandate to separate Shinto and Buddhism nearly eliminated the latter religion. The Meiji government banned Fuke Zen, viewing its monks as informants for the ousted government. More significantly, the government aimed to make Shinto the national religion, prompting the destruction of Buddhist property nationwide. People burned sutras and discarded Buddhist statues, and monks either returned to secular life or became Shinto priests. With about 40,000 temples destroyed—up to 80 percent in certain places—Japanese Buddhism neared eradication.
