History

Byakko

Standing before Myokenji, this temple preserves an ancient and unbroken lamp of Buddha's teachings. Generation after generation of monks has devoted themselves here, passing the dharma to their successors. Throughout the ages, this sacred light has never wavered. The profound spiritual weight and warmth visitors feel here is the accumulated power of countless prayers and devotions.
