History

Byakko

The principal image of Kongoiji, radiant in golden hue, possesses the power to sever all confusion and delusion. Standing majestically east of Shirakawa Bridge, this temple has always welcomed sincere practitioners. We can almost see those who seek the unbreakable state of vajra through daily rigorous practice. How many times have we been moved by the harmony of strictness and compassion here? The power of vajra is eternal.
