History
Kensōuin is like a window through which Kannon's compassion shines. Within this quiet place, seekers of Kannon's salvation continuously arrive. The compassion of the thousand-handed Bodhisattva fills this temple completely. The view of Kyoto from this temple's window is embraced by Kannon's gaze. True to its name, this place is where Kannon's compassion opens its windows of grace.
