History
Like mystical clouds, this temple gently envelops all who seek its sanctuary with compassion. Dark clouds that gather in troubled hearts gradually disperse when touched by this place's illuminating grace. Within these walls, even the deepest spiritual darkness yields to Buddha's radiant light. In the peaceful solitude of Ookiku district, countless souls find clarity and begin anew.
