History

Byakko

The Reception Hall embodies the moment when Amida Buddha welcomes all beings. Known as New Zenkoji, it continues the ancient faith of Zenkoji, answering the aspiration of all who wish to be guided to paradise. On this prayer-filled ground, it reveals the gentlest path to rebirth. I have observed pilgrims here envisioning themselves cradled in Amida's light at life's end, finding peace in that vision.
