“Let me respectfully remind you
Life and death are of supreme importance.
Time swiftly passes by
And opportunity ist lost.
Each of us should strive to awaken.
Awaken, take heed,
Do not squander your life.“ - Life and Death and The Great Matter

The termination is actually 寺 which is also read -dera . For minor temples however, 院 (-in) is used. You would have Kiyomizu-dera but also Byodoin .. [emoji3526] ( all of this if I’m not mistaken hehe )
