History

A thousand and thirty-three Kannon Bodhisattvas stand in their gilded hall, eternally preserving the moment of salvation from human suffering. Since ancient times, tales of Kannon's miraculous appearance at the threshold between life and death manifest most vividly within these sacred halls. Pilgrims embrace the thousand-fold compassion and gain the strength to overcome any hardship.
