The name Chogenji preserves the ancient teaching that happiness comes from the source of long duration. In the Nishitahara region, this temple possesses the power to bring eternal blessing to those who visit. Like the clear water of a source, blessings flow ceaselessly and are inscribed within this goshuin. One receives a blessing like a long light illuminating one's entire life, not merely temporary happiness.
