What makes
Byodoji Live special
The hall's real time reaches you
A 24-hour stream of Byodoji's main hall, continuing since April 26, 2020.
This is not a heavily produced show. The focus is the main hall itself: morning light, evening chanting, preparations for ceremonies, and the stillness of the inner sanctuary at night. It quietly shows that prayer at Byodoji continues day after day.
The principal image is Yakushi Nyorai. Connected with Byodoji's prayers for healing and healthy legs, the stream has become an open doorway for people who are far away or unable to go out easily.
Join daily services
and ceremonies as they happen
Morning and evening services, goma rituals, and seasonal ceremonies in real time.
During Byodoji's daily services, prayer requests sent online are read aloud. Goma rituals and special ceremonies are also streamed, so even from far away you are not only watching a video; you can share the actual time of prayer.
Online worship feels natural
The stream, prayers, Anjali, and comments form one continuous experience.
Byodoji Online does not stop at passive viewing. You can send a short prayer with Anjali, request a formal prayer, ask a question after a service, or simply greet others in the comments. Its strength is that you can take part at a distance that feels right for you.
