History
Perched on a high mountain, this temple glows with Avalokiteshvara's compassion. For ages, the suffering have sought solace here and discovered healing through the Bodhisattva's infinite mercy. Prayers offered toward the sky at this mountaintop sanctuary reach directly to the compassionate deity.
