History
Named Kankeiin, this temple is a training hall where Zen practice reaches its deepest expression in tranquil surroundings. Through generations, I have observed the luminous essence within the silence of meditating monks. Where calmness and serenity converge, this place's profound spirituality emerges. Even the breathing of practitioners becomes sacred in this space where one recovers one's original human nature. The path of Zen begins here in truth.
