I'm looking for a temple.

A long time ago, I had a dream of praying at a temple mausoleum, but it's a temple I don't know at all, so I don't know where it is. I've been looking for it, but I don't know.
It's a very large mausoleum, and there are doors so large that a black lacquer person could enter, and there are two or so large offerings in front of that, and the one on the left is white freshly cooked rice? The one on the right looked like a red or orange carrot chopped, but are there any places that offer this kind of offering?
Denominations and regions alone are fine, so any small piece of information is fine, so I'd like you to tell me. If I thought it was a dream, it's different from the temple I saw on TV around last year, but there are places that offer similar offerings, and the program was just about to end, so I didn't really understand it after all.
Neither my family nor my parents' house offer this kind of offering in the Jodo Shinshu sect.
If the question is out of place, please forgive me.
Someone please take care of it.

What are you looking for?

I'm sorry. I don't know the temple I'm looking for.

But if you're looking for the temple of your dreams, what are you really looking for?

It looks like they're looking for a temple, and maybe there's something they're looking for beyond that.

Somehow it reminds me of Inoue Yosui's songs.

“What are you looking for? Is it hard to find?

When is Kuba what exactly is Kuba looking for

It's also a common story where you can find it when you stop searching

What are you looking for? Are you still looking for more?

Wouldn't you like to go to a dream into a dream?”

From Yosui Inoue's “Into Dreams” (excerpts of some lyrics)

As for me, I hope that the temple I have a relationship with right now will become a comfortable temple like a dream for Maron.
I would like to work hard so that the temple I belong to becomes that kind of place for everyone.

Still, I hope you can find it. “Temple of Dreams” and Maron's “Search for Things.”

It looks like Koshin-san, do you have any idea

　Hello.

It looks like you had some kind of real dream.

There are also legends such as “In the Telltale of Dreams,” which are often said in folklore, etc., so there is no complete denial, but dreams are shown by the brain in order to organize past memories, so it's better not to expect anything heraldic.

Searching for the temple that came up in a dream is like catching clouds, so I can't say anything about it, but I read your question and thought “maybe Koshin-san (Aomen Kongo Doji),” and put in an answer.
Do you remember that there was something like Koshindo in the place where you used to live? Or do you remember visiting places like that during your travels?

I'm sorry if it wasn't.

There is some information about Koshin on the website I run, so please refer to it.

Incidentally, October 5th, when you wrote this question, was Koshin Day.

Well, don't be swayed by dreams too much.

I answered in a hurry with my smartphone from the above destination, but now, I've looked it up again on the internet and retrieved the materials at hand, but I couldn't find an image of him making an offering like an inquiry to Mr. Koshin.
However, in Koshin, I have heard about the custom of serving rice or chicken rice in a bowl, and since it matched your “rice in a bowl,” I answered as above.
By carefully observing various things on a regular basis, they say, “What. This is it!” The answer may come from an unexpected place (laughs)

Why don't you enjoy visiting temples?

Hello, Maron-san.

You're looking for the temple you saw in your dream, aren't you? I, too, have had many strange experiences with Dream Announcements. Instead of taking it too inspirational, it would be nice if it would be an opportunity for people to take a leisurely and positive temple tour.

What you think of as a white and red memorial service is probably a memorial service for something that symbolizes the moon ring or the sun ring after all. As my predecessors said, it may be Koshin-san, and it may be performed in a hall enshrining Nikko and Gekkou Bosatsu. It's a fun Buddhist relationship, isn't it?
