◆ What is Ohigan?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Ohigan is a special seven-day period centered on the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes.
It is a time to draw our hearts closer from "this shore" (shigan — the world we live in)
toward "the other shore" (higan — the world of the Buddha).
During this period, the Six Paramitas are practiced:
Dāna (Generosity) — Share without expecting anything in return
Śīla (Discipline) — Keep your words, actions, and mind in order
Kṣānti (Patience) — Remain calm no matter the circumstance
Vīrya (Diligence) — Continue doing good
Dhyāna (Meditation) — Quiet the mind and cultivate focus
Prajñā (Wisdom) — Illuminate the path with the light of wisdom
Try to keep even one of these in mind in your daily life.
