History
The compassion of Kannon is rooted here. In the long time we know, no other buddha has been heard by more hearts than Kannon. Why? Because compassion makes no distinctions. All can seek salvation, whether possessing much or having lost all. Visitors, whatever they have lost, shall have their prayers heard here. Kannon has a thousand hands. Therefore all shall be saved.
