History
Bodai-in, standing in Nara's Takahata district, has guided those seeking the awakening of Bodhi mind. Since ancient times, it has kindled its light in the same place for centuries. When the white fox visits, the temple's serene silence, never changing, continues to purify the hearts of all who come.
