History
Hannyain is a quiet and charming temple nestled in a lush green hilly area. Founded long ago, it has been cherished as a spiritual haven for the local community. Within its grounds, there are Buddhist statues and gardens that evoke a sense of history, soothing the hearts of visitors. The principal image of Buddha is said to bring blessings for family safety and protection from evil. I quite like the pure air and the peaceful time at this temple. Hannyain will continue to offer peace and hope to many people in the future.
