History

Byakko

This ancient temple preserves the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, guiding all who visit toward the light of true dharma. The doctrine of universal Buddhahood transcends the class systems of old, offering equal salvation to all sentient beings. I have witnessed countless moments of awakening to truth within these sacred halls, a timeless testimony to the Tathagata's compassion.
