Tsukiji Honganji Temple Visit in July 2024
On the afternoon of July 1st, I went to Tsukiji Honganji to visit.
Speaking of lotus, you may see a picture of standing on a lotus leaf or sitting on a lotus leaf and sitting on a zazen.
Today, the pink lotus was greeted beautifully, and I felt like I heard Amida's gentle voice saying, "I came often."
Worship card
This month's worship card says, "I'm sorry and malaise Teruga".
There is an appendix that the great sadness of Buddha always illuminates me without exhaustion.
The explanation on the back side contains the following:
You may speak to the deceased when you hold your hands in front of graves and Buddhist altars.
I feel that the deceased is listening gently and stillly. The deceased became "Buddha" and thought of me,
You are close to us with Amida Buddha.
Anytime and wherever you are.
The July issue of Tsukiji Honganji Shimpo is "Astronomy and Buddhism."
In the special issue of this month's issue, titled "Astronomy and Buddhism", how do Buddhism thinks of the theory of ground motion? ー
In the Catholic edition, Nicholas Copernics, who advocated the theory of ground motion, and Galileo Galilei's thoughts are introduced in detail.
In the Buddhist edition, when the theory of ground motion arrived in Japan, it is a translation of the passage that studied Dutch studies, and it is explained together with the theory of ground motion and the theory of heaven. The names of many famous people come out, and Tadataka Ino's way of thinking is also shown in it.
For more information, consider the time when Tsukiji Honganji Shimpo was obtained and there was a controversy between Tendo theories or Geographical theories?
Or I think it's a unique event this summer to see if Orihime and Hikoboshi met at Tanabata once a year in Milky Way. When it's going on ♪ Let's sing ~ Sasa leaf Sarasara-no-ki is a star that is swaying. ~
The story of the tale "Handmade Lunch Box" was very impressive. Please read it.
Rakugo "Funatoku" also told me that behind the cool figure before becoming a boatman, efforts and hardships to acquire the ability to realize it are hidden. It's a very good story.
