The 28th of every month is the memorial service of Fudō Myōō who is the main deity of Shinkyu-ji temple, but June 28 is the annual Fudō Myōō Goma festival day.
"Daihannya-tendoku-e" (the ritual that priest flip over the sturas and chant them) will be held on that day.
There are 600 volumes of "Daihannya-kyo" (Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra), and it takes a tremendous amount of time to chant all of them, so we will traditionally follow this method.
It is said that there is a benefit just by hitting the wind.
Anyone can join for free, so please come to our temple.
[About Naijin-mairi]
During the Fudō Myōō "Goma", you can visit the "Naijin(inner sanctuary)", a sacred place where the goma altar and the principal image are enshrined.
Normally, worshippers are not allowed to enter, but during the Fudō Myōō "Goma", you can enter the inner sanctuary, feel the goma flames up close, and pray in front of the principal image.
You will be called out when the time comes, so please follow the instructions. (You cannot enter the inner sanctuary freely.)
