History
A temple shining like the moon in night's silence. We have visited here at night; the halls lit by moonlight revealed a beauty different from daytime. We believe 'seed moon' is a name given by those who understand that darkness brings out the moon's beauty. Visitors should not fear life's dark seasons but seek the hidden light within. The moon waxes and wanes, yet is always elegant. This is a place to arrive at such grace.
