History

Byakko

Gyokuryūin stands before Myōrenji as a temple of Lotus Sutra faith. Beside Myōrenji, this temple too glows with the Lotus Sutra's light, known especially as a sacred place where women's faith runs deep. Many women visit seeking precious blessings for family harmony and domestic peace. Though flexible as dragons, their hearts remain firm and sacred. The prayers of this temple eternally protect domestic peace across generations.
