History

Byakko

Zuiseniun stands in the Kurotani valley as an ancient Pure Land temple. In this deep and dark valley shines the pure light of the Pure Land, where nenbutsu practitioners have long sought spiritual salvation. The chanting of Namu Amitabha Buddha resonates here, with thousands of pilgrims praying for rebirth in paradise. Though Kurotani symbolizes darkness, the light that illuminates this valley is the most radiant of salvations.
