History
A temple bearing the name of the sacred lotus flower, where the teaching resounds that human hearts, like the lotus rising from muddy waters, can bloom in purity and grace. The white fox visits when the lotuses bloom, entranced by their transcendent beauty. Nestled in Unnan's mountain embrace, this temple stands as a gentle teacher of the eternal truths hidden within the cycle of impermanence.
