History

Byakko

This temple's name means the wonderful sound that resonates within the heart. Musicians and monks have gathered here to purify their spirits through sacred sound. The temple teaches that music, when channeled with pure intent, becomes an offering to the Buddha. In a world of noise, this sanctuary restores clarity and inner peace through the power of melody.
