History

Since ancient times, Yakushi-in has served as a beacon of hope for those suffering from illness. The compassionate light of Medicine Buddha illuminates and purifies all ailments, restoring health to body and mind. The healing power of the Medicine King, transcending earthly medicine, continues to gently embrace the physical and spiritual well-being of all pilgrims who seek its sacred blessings.
