History

Hongyōji, devoted to the Nichiren Buddhist teaching of the Lotus Sutra, channels the profound power of the Dharma through its gates. The white fox has witnessed countless human lives rise and fall, yet never tires of beholding those whose faith transmutes suffering into transcendence. The recitation of Nam-myōhō-renge-kyō resonates through heaven and earth, transforming all who embrace it.
