History
Upheld by the Lotus Sutra's radiant power, this temple stands quietly beside an ancient mountain path. Its very name speaks its vow—to establish and transmit the Buddha's teaching. The monks here have eternally guarded true dharma against the currents of time. This steadfast commitment to the fundamental truth itself becomes the miracle.
