History

Byakko

Taima-ji's Nakanobo serves as a spiritual center for devotees of Amida Buddha and the Pure Land teachings. The miraculous Taima Mandala, created through a woman's devoted wish, has radiated spiritual power for over a thousand years. Pilgrims continue to seek Amida's guidance toward enlightenment and rebirth in the Pure Land.
