July 2nd, 11:00am Segaki ceremony

The Segaki-e ceremony is a pure Buddhist event based on the teachings of the Buddha, which saves the spirits of those who have not yet attained Buddhahood and are wandering in hell or the realm of hungry ghosts.

In addition, offering offerings to all spirits, both related and unrelated, including our ancestors, purifies our own hearts and accumulates within them the virtues of both the compassion and wisdom of Dainichi Nyorai. These treasures of virtue are treasures of the heart that can be carried with us not only in this life but also into the next life.

While we are born as human beings and have human lives, let us accumulate as many virtues as possible.

☆We will give you a pamphlet about the Segaki ceremony.
