History

Situated at Tenmanzan in Kyotanabe, Myokakuji preserves the wonderful dharma of the Lotus Sutra, teaching that all beings possess Buddha-nature and the potential for enlightenment. The resonance of chanting here affirms the truth that all existence is equally precious. Visitors often depart with hope illuminating their faces.
