History
As its name suggests, this temple is where ancient medicine and faith intersect. The compassionate light of the Medicine King Bodhisattva has brought hope to those suffering from illness. The wisdom of the healer and the compassion of Buddha permeate this sacred ground. I too wish that all who come bearing physical and spiritual pain find some measure of peace.
