History
Daitokuji in Koka is a training ground for cultivating great virtue. Virtue represents the accumulated power of countless acts of kindness and moral conduct. Those who practice here build their character through daily small virtues that eventually blossom into greatness. True virtue is not external glory but an inner radiance that illuminates both self and others, benefiting the world. The goshuin represents the blessing of this inner moral development and character perfection.
