History
The Temple of Compassionate Eyes, truly living its name as my eternal gaze of loving-kindness watches over this profound sanctuary in Kamo's distant reaches. Within Nashimoto's peaceful embrace, all suffering dissolves and hearts overflow with great compassion. Kannon Bodhisattva's gentle eyes shine here, transforming tears of anguish into radiant wisdom. This temple stands as the final beacon of hope for all who suffer.
