On the 18th, we conduct the Kannon Goma at 1:00 pm in the Rokkakudō hall.
Priests burn Soegomagi (small pieces of wooden board, on which your wishes are written) to pray Nyoirin-Kannon for the fulfillment of your wishes.
Everyone is welcome to join the rites.
[Today's bits of knowledge about Nyoirin-Kannon]
There is a theory that Murasaki-Shikibu, the main character of this year's NHK historical drama, is an incarnation of Kannon.
This theory is based on the idea that it is impossible for a woman to write such a fine story as The Tale of Genji, so Kannon and others transformed into women and preached their teachings through stories.
