To you who work hard
every day
Thank you for always doing your best.
For example, do you keep these feelings to yourself?
- Your heart feels unsettled, or you feel somewhat anxious
- You're tired from relationships, or have worries you can't share
- Your body isn't feeling well, or days don't go as planned
- You have many worries about the future and finances
- You just want to forget everything and spend peaceful time
- Among overflowing information, you're losing sight of what truly matters
If your heart is whispering "I'm a little tired" right now.
That small voice is precious proof that you are truly working hard every day. Please don't carry it alone.
It's okay. Byodoji's live stream is a place of rest to gently lighten your heart and fill it with warm comfort.
Why not entrust your heart to the unchanging gaze of Yakushi Nyorai, the temple air breathing with long history, and the soothing sounds of nature?
May a warm light called "prayer" illuminate your daily life,
and new strength spring forth to take a step toward tomorrow. Would you like to experience this?

Why choose
Byodoji Live Stream - 5 reasons
Peace of mind to connect anytime, anywhere
Yakushi Nyorai is with you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Yakushi Nyorai, the principal deity of Byodoji Temple, the 22nd of the 88 sacred sites of Shikoku, is a compassionate Buddha said to have been carved by Kobo Daishi Kukai. For 1,200 years, he has received the prayers of countless people. The moment you think "I want to connect," Yakushi Nyorai with his gentle face quietly awaits you on the other side of the screen.
Yakushi Nyorai is the Buddha of "supreme worldly benefits." He guides you to healing of heart and body, including cancer prevention, leg and hip health, and eye disease recovery.
Healed by the sounds of birds and nature
Feel as if you're on the temple veranda.
Escape from the busy city sounds for a peaceful moment. In spring, bird songs and frog choruses; in summer, cicada chorus; in autumn, insect sounds; in winter, pure silence... The sounds of nature changing with time and seasons, the bells of pilgrims and voices of sutra recitation will gently embrace your heart.
The mountain behind Byodoji is an important place for wildlife, including monkey families, raccoon dogs, badgers, wild boars, deer, and sometimes cats. You may see them on the live stream, so please watch over them warmly.
Experience authentic prayers
from the best seat
Watch daily morning and evening services, and powerful Goma rituals live.
The heartfelt morning and evening services. As you touch that solemn and pure atmosphere, you will naturally feel the spirit of prayer welling up. In the Goma ritual, while being healed by the images and sounds of blazing flames, your wishes are delivered to Yakushi Nyorai.
Morning and evening services are free!Your wishes will be read aloud by the head priest during the ceremony.
Even if you miss it, you can watch the ceremony later.
Solve doubts and worries with Q&A!
The head priest answers all questions! A reassuring Q&A time.
Please watch the Q&A session after the ceremony, which was featured on NHK's "Asaichi." The head priest of Byodoji answers all questions sincerely on the spot. No pre-screening. This is not a promotional broadcast that only answers easy questions.
Feel free to ask about religion, life troubles, or small daily questions. Your uncertainties will surely clear up.
At the irregularly held "Sawakai" (tea gathering), you can chat more casually.
Realize your own prayer
Uniquely developed! Pray anytime, anywhere with Añjali.
"I want to pray more freely, more deeply." In response to such voices, "Añjali" was born, programmed by the head priest of Byodoji himself. This is a new form of prayer that makes your prayer visible and delivers it directly to Yakushi Nyorai, even from a distance.
Añjali is free. If you want to offer a donation, it's optional from 50 yen.
