History

Byakko

This temple serves as a gateway to the Pure Land, where the recitation of the sacred Nembutsu opens infinite possibility. Amida Buddha's immense compassion flows through the repetition of these ten sacred invocations to all beings. Even ordinary mortals suffering in the mortal realm can achieve rebirth in paradise through sincere recitation. In the quiet of Tsuruyama district, countless Nembutsu practitioners ascend to heavenly reward.
