History

Byakko

The light in Shoren-ji illuminates all the world. I have witnessed the devoted monks who tended this lamp of dharma through generations. Nestled in Takayama's mountains, this ancient temple has held high the beacon of hope even as human hearts wander in delusion. Pilgrims come seeking the light hidden deep within their own hearts.
