Tsukiji Honganji August worship card Tsukiji Honganji Shimpo Obon?

　A young couple who got off in front of Tsukiji Market on the Tokyo Metro Oedo Line on August 7 was unable to understand the direction of the destination, so we asked.　He says, "I want to go to Tsukiji Outer Market," so we will guide you halfway. He came to Japan from the Czech Republic and took 18 hours via Dubai.　I talked about WBC baseball, but they weren't interested in baseball.　When I entered the story and asked, "Is it a honeymoon?", I answered "I'm still there." Did you hear that you entered?　

　At the time of farewell, when I crossed the intersection beyond this, I told me, "It's Tsukiji Honganji."　Since it was past 3:00 pm, it seems that I could not shop at Tsukiji Outer Market.　I came to visit while I was visiting Mr. Honganji.　Is this also the guide of Amitabha?

　

August 2023 worship card

　On the table, "Be sure to be in the Pure Land,"

The following explanation is written on the back side.

"This is a passage from a letter sent by Saint Shinran to his brother.　We suffer with the invisible anxiety of death.　In order to eliminate that anxiety, it was the Buddha named Amida who provided me with a peaceful world that I should visit.　Although it is inevitable to break up in this life, he tells us that we have a world where we can meet again."

Tsukiji Honganji Shimpo August 2023 issue What is Obon?

　The special feature of this month's issue is "What is Obon?"

Why did the words "Obon" and "Yelan Bon", which refers to the rice of offering, become an event in Japan to visit temples and tombs in summer?　The birth of Obon is written that the indigenous religion of Japan before the introduction of Buddhism is thought to have originated Japanese Obon as a Buddhist event.

　They also explain the difference between the custom of Bon Festival on July 15 in old calendar and the practice of serving Bon Festival by fixing July 15 in the new calendar on August 15 in the new calendar.　It's very interesting.　After all, it is also written that it is important to serve Obon instead of having a Japanese personality.

 

 

"Which, this, which one?" The 41st series honorific words and tame mouth

　I didn't understand the meaning of the word "takuchi" all the time.

In the August issue of Tsukiji Honganji Shimpo, Junko Sakai wrote an essay called "Heigo and Tameguchi" in the 41st installment of the series "Ah, here, which one".

　If you write it in detail, you should not violate copyright.

In short, the spoken language like a friend who does not use honorifics is a "takuchi".

I opened my eyes. Thank you very much.
