🔴Ohigan

The autumnal equinox season has come again this year. The Ohigan is the period of time when the distance between the world of the Buddha, the Higan (彼岸), and our world, the Konogishi (此岸), is at its closest.

Please join us in prayer at this time when we can feel closer to the world of the Buddha where our deceased loved ones are.

🔵 offerings at remote locations

Since 2020, Byodoji Temple has started remote offerings. You can share the time of prayer through the screen. If you would like to pray for, make offerings to, or worship your loved ones in this way as well, please apply for this service.

🟡 The Way of Memorial Service

The period of the 2022 memorial service is one week, with a morning service at 6:00 a.m. and evening service at 4:00 p.m. every day from September 20, and a memorial service at 8:00 p.m. until September 26, when the service is read aloud.

Gifts

You can apply online for a Kaito no Shoumei, a wooden plaque, and a Sotoba Kuyo (memorial service). After the opening of the eyes and a one-week memorial service, we will send them to you after September 27.

🔷Ohigan by remote

🔻We can worship from a distance.

Although we should visit the graves or pray in front of the Buddhist altar in accordance with Japanese tradition, in recent years, many families do not have such a situation.

In addition, with the recent spread of Covid-19, we have decided that we cannot respond to your wishes to hold memorial services for your loved ones by holding traditional Ohigan events, and have decided to accept remote memorial services.

The service will be held from 9/20 to 9/26, three times a day for one week, for a total of 21 times. The morning and evening services will be followed by a Dharma talk by the head priest, so we hope that each of you will experience the live-streaming of these services and spend this important period of time on the far bank of the river to make offerings to your loved ones.

Kaji Dosha (Sand Blessed with the Mantra of Light)

Kaji Dosha (Sand Blessed with the Mantra of Light)

Kaji dosha is sand that has been blessed (kaji) through the recitation of the Mantra of Light (Kōmyō Shingon). The Mantra of the Light of Great Consecration of Amoghapāśa Vairocana Buddha (Taishō No. 1002) teaches that sand blessed 108 times with this mantra should be scattered at the resting place of the deceased. It says that wherever the deceased may be, even in the realms of hell, hungry ghosts, asuras, or animals, the power of the blessed sand lets the light reach them, removes the karmic consequences of their wrongdoing, and brings them to rebirth in the Pure Land of Bliss in the west. In the Kamakura period, the monk Myōe Shōnin wrote the Kōmyō Shingon Dosha Kanshinki (1228) and spread devotion to the blessed sand. He taught that its merit reaches not only the departed in their next life but also the living in this present life. The kaji dosha of Byodoji is blessed during the Dosha Kaji ceremony performed in the main hall. Please use it as a memorial offering for your loved one, placing it in the coffin at a funeral or scattering it on the grave. It may also be kept as an omamori (protective charm), carried with you or kept close at hand.
