History
This temple embodies the teachings of compassion. Like clouds gathered in the mountains of Daigo, this temple has embraced countless believers. Compassion transcends finite understanding, possessing infinite capacity to embrace. Those who meditate here touch this infinite nature. I too sense the energy of boundless compassion that permeates this sacred place.
