History

Byakko

Known as an ancient seat of Buddhist practice, the Jogyodo and Hokkeedo halls stand in sacred quietude. The traditions of long meditation persist here, bringing deep peace to all who enter. The Buddha's compassion still shines brilliantly in this sacred place, guiding seekers from confusion toward enlightenment.
