From the Cold War era until today, the world
has been under the influence of western civilization
, accentuated by materialism and devotion
to advanced technology. Many natural areas
have been degraded , and men have drifted
away from their old values in such a way that
morality and spiritual contentment have become
irrelevant to many people. Their attempts
to control nature have transformed many people
into egotistical individuals who are out to
destroy one another through incessant wars
and economy plundering. Most are after only
happiness in this life, and believing that
there is no life after this.
This sanctuary of truth was conceived out
of the vision that human civilization has
been achieved and nurtured by religious and
philosophical has been achieved and nurtured
by religious and philosophical truth. This
sanctuary was created not from hubris but
from goodness drawn from religion , philosophy
and art.
Man cannot be born and exist without seven
creators. The Sanctuary of Truth presents
seven creators through carved wood sculptures
which adorn its interior. They are: Heaven
, Earth , Father , Mother , Moon , Sun and
Stars.
On top of the four spires of the sanctuary,
the four elements that will lead to the ideal
world according to eastern philosophy are
presented.

the heritage of mankind, the Sanctuary of
Truth is worth a visit!
