Please tell me about everyone's “Obon Aru Aru 2013 Bon”.

It is said that there is Obon, and I also feel like the head office said it all enough.

Also, depending on the temple, there are really many places where people pray at the homes of parishioners, and places where people say that they are surprisingly not busy, depending on the temple.

Speaking of our temple, we have the Ouran Bonsai Festival (which also serves as a grave visit) on August 7, so there aren't that many people visit the house of Danke (I wonder if the word “companion” is more common in Shinshu), and there are almost no sutras being recited in front of graves.

It will be settled at houses that have had Obon dates before the 14th and 15th, and the person who requested it for that year (I will work at the main hall).

I'm going to concentrate on the 15th, so I wonder if it will be the 15th.

On the other hand, I talked about Obon Aru Aru as a story.

At a house. After I finished reciting the sutras.

The head of the family is blamed for not serving tea.
“A lot of tea is being served today, so I'm rather bothered.”
“Yes. There was also such a thing written on Obon Aru Aru. On the other hand, I'm thankful for that.”

Admittedly, I don't know how many cups of tea I drank in a day. (I drank coffee, and I drank cider.)
One cup of tea before chanting is enough (for this day only).

I don't know if that's a sufficient answer, but it was my way of using “there is Obon.”

It's a temple in Sendai, but many people visit the tomb every day.
Don't go to pray at our mountain, ask everyone to come out at the temple,
We are serving in the form of a total memorial service for Obon.
We are accepting applications for the Obon memorial service in front of the main hall,
What I often see is that I met my classmate for the first time in decades,
I bumped into a relative I couldn't get in touch with at all, etc.
I often meet people.

Incidentally, at Koo's Obon this year,
I met my elementary school classmate for the first time in 20 years lol

To meet someone you want to meet,
Visiting graves might be the best (*'｀) ♪

I also read it on Twitter, and there is one! I had a wry smile.

After visiting the Obon festival, what do I think about every year... Each purpose and manners are different, but the custom of remembering our ancestors and putting hands together has been passed down, isn't it? ~ It's precious and important even for those of us living today ◎

I came and talked, but everyone is smiling ~ (*'∀`*)
Probably because they feel connected by an invisible Buddhist connection.

Thanks to you... Put “O” on the back and add “sama.” Those are wonderful words ◎

In the Jodo Shinshu sect, they enjoy it as a memorial service.
I'm thankful for that.

August is Obon in most regions of Japan,
In Tokyo, July is Obon.
There are also people who come to visit graves during Obon in August,
Most of them are done in July, and only a few people come in August.

The donation in the donation bag is... empty. →It's hard to make phone calls later~

Entering with a cold cup of tea... when I'm hungry → it's a story where I get stuck at night... it falls rapidly

Watermelons and red meat melons with local patterns come out, and they inevitably refuse → if they stick to a white coat, it's hard to get a stain... the face of my wife comes to my eyes

There are a lot more things coming out... but I'm going to muddy up the tea in a place like this.

Buddha meal to Mr. Tan Shio-sama

There are a lot of things
The contents of the offering are not in it
After all, they serve tea, but I'm in trouble because the toilet is getting close
There is someone who likes talking to a parishioner, and I ended up staying for about 2 hours
My relatives got drunk and finished it, so they played around a bit while reciting sutras...

There are still many more
I was able to communicate with the parishioners in a variety of ways
I think this is a very precious time. Gassho

　I often go there to help other temples with the Obon festival sutras. Is about 40 houses a day the market price? We will be doing this sutras for about 1 week. The drink I received at that time was taken in one sip like terminal water, and “I only received your feelings.” I say it. Food such as sweets “will be offered to the principal image of the main hall before being served, so I will take them home.” I said, and I'll take it home. There were times when my bag was full of sweets, so sometimes I brought paper bags with me. Sunburn on both arms is a matter of course. “Even though it's hot, it's not that hard.” is a buzzword. Every time, “This is also ascetic practice.” is it also a buzzword?
The Obon Sutra. Thank you for your hard work, the chief priest and chief priest of the temple. There may be temples that are still being visited, but the equinox is coming up in September, so please be careful about your physical condition.
Also, I was really encouraged by the believers and followers who “humiliated” their trips, outings, and others, and prayed together in front of the Buddhist altar.
