History
Yata-dera's south monastery embodies Kannon Bodhisattva's boundless compassion. Those suffering from illness find solace here, embraced by the Bodhisattva's gentle light and freed from bodily pain. Throughout history, people understanding medicine's limitations have brought their prayers to Kannon at this place. I have witnessed countless patients find healing within these healing halls.
