History
This ancient temple has been a sanctuary for those devoted to the Pure Land teachings. Within the history that I have witnessed, countless pilgrims have sought spiritual peace within these hallowed grounds. The principal image of Amitabha Buddha radiates boundless compassion, embracing all who seek salvation. Nestled among ancient trees, the temple grounds offer a serene respite from the passage of time.
