History
This temple symbolizes the wish to 'endure like a long-standing pine.' As the pine tree bends gracefully while remaining rooted, many seek the strength to weather life's trials here. Like the unchanging tree through time, faith is likewise inherited across generations. I witness both the continuity and the steadfast wish.
