History

Standing in the Ooba district, this temple radiates eastern enlightenment, illuminating the hearts of all who visit. The wisdom light of the Tathagata guides those wandering in darkness and confusion toward the correct path. The majestic main hall purifies the souls of pilgrims and allows them to receive the blessings of eastern illumination.
