History

Byakko

A tower enshrining Manjushri Bodhisattva, the deity of wisdom whom I deeply respect. The brilliance of Manjushri shines like moonlight upon the dark waters of ignorance. Students and scholars have gathered here to sharpen their minds and seek enlightenment. This tower stands as a beacon illuminating the path to knowledge and awakening.
