History

Byakko

Named after the two trees that stand witness to Buddha's teachings, Sorinji Temple embodies the duality of enlightenment and the world. Through the ages, seekers have come to clear their minds of confusion and embrace the wisdom of the Buddha. The enlightened light of Shakyamuni Buddha fills this sacred space, illuminating the hearts of all who enter with sincere devotion. Within the quiet sanctuary of Higashiyama, the temple continues its eternal mission of guiding souls toward clarity and understanding.
