History
Ruripo Yakushi-ji, a true Pure Land sanctuary of Shingon Buddhism, is filled with the lapis-lazuli light of Yakushi Buddha. For ages, this temple has been a spiritual refuge for the afflicted, blessed by Yakushi Buddha, the healing physician of the dharma. The grateful smiles of those liberated from suffering have bloomed here for millennia. Today, visitors continue to seek blessings for health and longevity, their prayers ascending eternally to the heavens.
