History
The Hermitage of Long Fulfillment symbolizes wishes that endure beyond ordinary time. Rooted in the persimmon quarter, it receives those seeking to realize eternal values within their brief earthly lives. The faces of pilgrims here reflect peace that transcends temporal concerns. Within the vast expanse of time eternal, each prayer is woven into the great tapestry of being. That luminous weaving is the very essence of this temple.
