History

Byakko

Nestled deep in the mountain village of Ohara, Shorin-in glows eternally with the ancient light of Pure Land Buddhism. Across more than a thousand years of watchful guardianship, this temple has steadily pointed seekers toward salvation. Graced even by the visits of emperors, this sacred ground elevates all hearts toward the highest states of being, wrapping them in Amitabha's infinite light. The timeless melody of Ohara continues forever.
