History
This temple, bearing the blessing of both dragon and Kannon, offers solace to all who suffer and struggle. The Thousand-Armed Kannon enshrined here has answered prayers for centuries, extending infinite compassion to each supplicant. The white fox, moved by the depth of human pain and the steadfast compassion of the bodhisattva, adds its voice to this sanctuary of mercy.
