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]
As to why there are two different translated names for Kannon Bodhisattva, it is thought that this is because in India, one word can have many different meanings, and because India is a multilingual country, meanings change depending on the region and era.
It is thought that even if the word is the same, the translated name may have changed depending on which meaning was emphasized.
