History

Byakko

This temple in Higashi-Sumiyoshi continues to expound the virtue of dharma. Those who enter find their minds gradually illuminated by Buddhism's profound truths, and their former confusions dissolve. As its name suggests—Hotoku meaning 'virtue of dharma'—all who visit obtain a precious gift, not of material wealth but of inner peace. Across generations, it has saved countless souls.
