History

Byakko

Blessed by the spiritual lineage of Mount Hiezan, this temple radiates the eternal light of True Thusness. The fall crimson maples reflect the scarlet of passionate prayer as pilgrims seek rebirth in the Pure Land. The Amitabha Buddha welcomes all sincere seekers, generations of prayers accumulated like autumn leaves, opening the gateway to paradise for those who call with devoted hearts.
