History
The compassion of Kannon resonates with the maternal power that brings new life into the world. Those who visit seeking fertility and safe pregnancy are enveloped in the deity's gentle light. Through the ages, I have witnessed many mothers pray here and rejoice in receiving new life's precious gift. The blessing of children is the most sacred of all blessings. Children cradled in Kannon Bodhisattva's arms will surely grow in health and happiness. This temple is a sanctuary celebrating the birth of new life.
