History
Like an ever-flowing spring of pure dharma, this temple continuously bestows clear understanding to all. Even the deepest spiritual impurities dissolve when touched by these crystalline waters. Within these sacred grounds, all beings recover their heart's original radiance. Before Myokenji, countless spiritual springs are eternally renewed and revitalized.
