Like a small number of petals. There were more lotuses blooming than I expected. I feel like we're nearing the end. Who knows, maybe there will still be buds. I hope you will come and look for buds.

We made a bon-fire offering. (August 16, Reiwa 6)

お盆・送り火の献灯をさせて頂きました。(令和6年8月16日)

I made a donation of the fire. (August 16, Reiwa 6) Lantern in front of the main hall Lamp dedication in front of Koyasu Kannon Lamp dedication on the stone steps in front of the main hall Lamp dedication at the mountain gate I was relieved when I was able to send the Holy Spirit safely. The past and present of Obon. In the past, it was taken for granted that people who came to visit the Buddha, such as Shinbon House, should also be entertained. It seems that it still exists in some areas. In front of the Shinbon house, there is a place where people drink, eat, sing and dance, and lively. ・ When you come back to Obon, it is a good idea to offer something that you liked when you were alive. On the 13th and 14th, you can eat it with your family, and on the 15th, make it as a souvenir and throw it in the river or sea, or wrap it in newspaper and put it out as burnable garbage. If you are reading this book in a city where there is no Buddhist altar or tiles, I would like you to say that you will not do it because you do not have a Buddhist altar or tiles, but that you will serve it to your ancestors at the end of your meal. It is important to feel like you want to make a memorial service. The sound of water After 4 o'clock in the evening, if there is a sink in the kitchen or on the west side, fill a bowl with water and let the water drop from the faucet. Listening to this sound is also a memorial service. Water is the most precious thing for humans, and they want it even before they die. I want you to hear this nostalgic sound of water. I thought it would have been nice if I could introduce it before Obon. It's late. Edited by Gassho LanguageThis page has been automatically translated.

三重県伊勢市江地区・十王堂施餓鬼供養の法要が執り行われました。(令和6年8月15日PM9時)

A memorial service was held in the Ise City Jiang area of Mie Prefecture, and a memorial service was held for the Juodo Hunger Demon. (From 9 p.m. on August 15, Reiwa 6) The Juodo Temple, which is enshrined under the mountain gate of Taieji Temple, was jointly held by the priests of each temple in the Jiang area. I think it's a rare memorial service that starts at 9 p.m. Even though it was late at night, everyone in the Jiang area came to visit. The head priest of this mountain also served. I hope to be able to hold it safely next year.   Gassho LanguageThis page has been automatically translated. Please note that it may differ from the original content.
