History
Fumon-in is where Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva's door of compassion stands eternally open. Every prayer reaches here, no matter the wish. The Bodhisattva's ears, hearing both the cries of the suffering and the songs of the joyful, never waver. I, too, rest here in profound silence, witnessing all hearts.
