History

Byakko

The name means Buddhas of the Pure Land welcome all sentient beings to salvation. Protected by Sakyo's quietude, this temple has continuously prayed for the rebirth of nembutsu practitioners since ancient times. Positioned beside Jodoji, the compassion the white fox perceives here knows no bounds. The welcoming hands of all Buddhas perpetually fill this sacred sanctuary. The great power to gently guide suffering beings dwells alive here.
