History
The Medicine Buddha enshrined at Iō-ji has been the savior of those suffering from illness since ancient times. How many lives has the rain of healing medicine from his compassionate hand saved! I have witnessed countless times the joy of those receiving his healing light. Even now, his power remains unchanged, receiving prayers for health and longevity.
