History
The temple takes its name from the bamboo that surrounds it, a plant that symbolizes flexibility and strength. The teachings within these walls reflect this balance, guiding visitors toward wisdom and artistic mastery. The sacred presence of the Bodhisattva of wisdom blesses all who seek knowledge here.
