History

Byakko

Western Circle Temple teaches the perfect doctrine pointing westward toward enlightenment. The halls here demonstrate that Amida's light, rising from the west, brings Buddha's protection eternally to all beings. The circular space of this temple functions as a great mirror, embracing and containing all who enter. Both those arriving and departing find themselves held within this sacred circle, cherished by boundless compassion.
