History
Ganden-ji honors the Kannon, goddess of compassion. Its long history is woven from the tears of those who suffered. The white fox has witnessed how this temple becomes a healing place—where the deepest wounds, brought in silence and pain, find gentle resolution in the presence of boundless mercy.
