◆ 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.
