History

Byakko

Daionji stands in Kitamon-cho as a nenbutsu meditation hall. Throughout history, countless nenbutsu practitioners have gathered here, uniting their voices in the chanting of Namu Amitabha Buddha. The sweet rain of nenbutsu meditation falls upon this place, illuminating all beings with great compassion. The prayers of generations have accumulated in layers, making this the shortest path to the Pure Land. This temple eternally shines as a beacon pointing toward the Land of Bliss.
