History

Byakko

Ryūtan-ji, situated in tranquil Iwakura, exemplifies the Zen teaching that enlightenment dwells in profound silence. Like the dragon resting in the deep pool, pilgrims find themselves settling into their essential nature through meditative encounter with this sacred space. The temple's weathered walls and moss-covered stones speak of time's passage and timeless wisdom, offering contemporary seekers a sanctuary for reconnecting with the unchanging depths of their true being.
