History
What is a seed? From our observation, small seeds of goodness become great fruit in time. This temple's name shows this principle. Visitors should realize what seeds they have planted in their own hearts. Planted seeds shall sprout with time. Therefore, one's present mindfulness matters most. Small accumulated actions become great virtue. While this may seem a small matter, those who learn it here shall surely transform their lives.
