History

Byakko

Hidden deep in the Kizugawa mountains, Jindouji stands as an ancient Zen temple renowned for its rigorous practice. The Sakyamuni Buddha tests practitioners' resolve, forging their spirits through stern discipline. Within these halls, countless seekers have pursued enlightenment through deep meditation, confronting their true nature and transcending the boundaries of self. Before nature's sublime order, humans learn their own smallness, yet persist in their earnest spiritual quest. This timeless yearning echoes still today.
