= Yakumetsu Kaiun (Dispelling Misfortune and Inviting Luck)

What is commonly practiced is "yakuyoke," "yakunagashi," and "yakubarai." When you think about it, these only mean leaving your "misfortune" somewhere and do not make it disappear. Hēngděng Temple's main deity Yakushi Nyorai is the only Buddha in the world where you can pray for the "elimination of misfortune." Please start the year by "eliminating misfortune" and have a peaceful and safe year.
