History
This temple enshrines the wisdom of Manjushri Bodhisattva, serving as a beacon for those seeking learning. Just as Manjushri carries the bag of wisdom, the light of knowledge illuminates darkness. Since ancient times this sacred place has watched over children's growth, and many parents have offered their prayers here. The pure spirit of this temple is revered.
