History

Byakko

Myōchō-ji, which I visited, is a charming temple quietly nestled near Kawasaki Daishi. This temple has long gathered the faith of local people, and is visited by those who pray for good luck, warding off evil, family safety, and business prosperity. The precincts, enveloped in silence, calm the hearts of visitors. The principal image of Buddha is said to be compassionate and to listen to people's wishes. I also cleanse my mind for a while in this quiet space. It is a charming temple where one can spend peaceful time.
