　At the Flower Festival, a birth Buddha (a statue representing the birth of Historical Buddha) is placed in the flower hall decorated with flowers, and a sweet tea is poured over the head at the ladle on the top.

　So why do you pour sweet tea from overhead?

When Historical Buddha was born, nine dragons appeared in heaven to celebrate his birth, and began to pour sweet tea in mimicking the rain of Kanro.

　The April worship card states, "If you don't care, the flowers will bloom, but the flowers will scatter."

A detailed instruction is written on the back.

　Regardless of my measure, the flowers are blooming and falling.

Not only flowers, but there are many things in the world that do not go as you want.

We are complaining that there are things that don't go exactly as we want.

A way of life that separates from such self-oriented thinking and accepts everything naturally as it is.

That is the way of life of Jodo Shinshu.
