If you would like your name and wish read aloud during the rite, select Summer Prayer on Byodoji Online. The prayer fee is ¥500 per wish.
Summer brings more opportunities to visit the sea and rivers, as well as heat that can tire the body and mind. On Japan's Marine Day, we pray before Yakushi Nyorai for safety by the water, relief from the afflictions of summer heat, freedom from illness and calamity, and good health.
Byodoji performs the Yakushi Goma according to the Chuin tradition. We kindle the sacred fire of wisdom on the goma altar, read aloud each applicant's name and wish, and place goma sticks into the flames in prayer. Please join us from wherever you are.
▼ Prayers for the summer season
• Safety by the water: May everyone return safely from the sea and rivers.
• Relief from summer heat: May we pass through the heat in health and safety.
• Freedom from illness and calamity: May body and mind find peace.
• Good health: May we care for the body and live each day in calm.

Practical steps to protect life
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Prayer goes together with practical care. Drink water regularly, rest in a cool place, check the weather and water levels, and wear a properly fitted life jacket.
If someone cannot drink without help or is unconscious, call 119 immediately in Japan and request an ambulance. If you are receiving medical treatment, consult your doctor or pharmacist and do not stop treatment or medication on your own.
