History

Byakko

At the foot of Minobu's sacred mountain stands Hongyou-bo, a temple where Saint Nichiren himself walked these hallowed grounds. The peaks of Mount Senzenzan reach toward heaven itself, mirroring the aspirations of all seekers. The pure preservation of the Lotus Sutra's teachings here is due to countless practitioners' dedicated sacrifice. For centuries, the chanting of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo has never ceased resounding through these halls. This sanctuary is where truth emerges from light and shadow combined.
