History

True to its name, Zengyoin is a sacred place encouraging good deeds and cultivating moral virtue. Standing before Myokenji, it has brought forth the goodness in human hearts for centuries. We learned that deep within the human heart lies an eternal desire for goodness. Good deeds inevitably bring good fortune. Both small and great kindness are equally precious and sacred.
