History

Byakko

Chōtokuin serves as a sub-temple of Shōkokuji, transmitting Zen teachings. Before Shōkokuji's gates, practitioners have long sought the light dwelling in the depths of the heart. The prayers of those who perceive truth in Zen's silence fill this place. Generations of accumulated practice breathe within these walls, shining as eternal illumination.
