History

Byakko

This ancient temple filled with the compassion of Maitreya Bodhisattva possesses a light illuminating even the future. Standing in the Ikejiri region, this hall is spiritual sustenance for those who endure present suffering while praying for the peace of the world to come. The compassion of the Bodhisattva is boundless, and those who visit will find their hearts naturally becoming gentle. The gaze of Maitreya beholding even fifty-six billion years hence remains unchanged here.
