History
In Yu's harbor town, the Kannon Bodhisattva listens eternally to the cries of all who suffer. Those seeking children gather with hopeful hearts, and the ill come seeking healing through her boundless compassion. Like the thousand hands of her sacred form, she embraces infinite human needs. Her mercy flows without judgment or limit. Pilgrims arrive heavy-hearted and depart lightened by her grace. Generations have testified to her answering power.
