About the goshuin you get at the temple

I've always loved Kyoto and visited temples a lot.
Being in a temple calms my mind, and I feel like I can become my true self, and I learned about goshuin as something that leaves memories other than photographs etc.
I'd like to have it next time, but would it be rude to ask if you could include the previous date as well? (>_<)
Also, could you do something like that?

Please answer.

Judgments differ depending on the temple, so that's true.

Goshuin is proof that you have a relationship with the gods and Buddha of shrines and temples, and it's a very thankful thing that will serve as a memory when you go on a pilgrimage. I hope you take good care of it.
Now, it may be a bit difficult to have the date of the time you visited before put in the newly requested red seal.
Basically, I'm supposed to fill in the date I visited the temple...
However, it is not determined by law, so I think it would be better to ask the temple you visited.
By no means is your opinion about the date at all rude!!. Don't worry (*^^*).
This is a small proposal from a pilgrimage site employee at Kannon Pilgrimage.

incidentally

Please note that Shinshu temples (Tozai Honganji, etc.) do not have goshuin.

In the Shinshu sect, there is no so-called concept of prayer (the doctrine of other denominations is not wrong), and I would like you to feel that by joining hands with Amida Nyorai, who illuminates my body, who is living today, and Shinran Shonin who discovered that Amida, my body, which may have a relationship with the life I was given and death one step ahead, is being kept alive “now.”

Understood!

Kyoko has the same name as my mother
Nice to meet you, my name is Tetsuya Urakami from Nagomi-an.

Being a teenager and liking visiting temples is a pretty serious hobby (^_^)
And the feeling of getting a goshuin according to the date I went there before.
Understood! I understand it very well!!

Together with the actor's wife, I perform Buddhist plays at temples all over the country.
It's already well over 100 times, and recently I thought, “I wish I had gotten a goshuin when I went to the concert...”
I wish I could start now, but “even if I start now... I wanted a record from the beginning!” It makes me feel agony.

So, why don't you ask for advice from a bad source?
If Kyoko, a teenager, asks, “Um, I didn't know goshuin when I came here before, but I want it as a commemorative date when I first came ♡”, at least I don't know how to make amends (laughs).

Oh yeah, as Okuwa said, I don't often write goshuin at Shinshu temples, but stamps are sometimes placed. There are also Shinshu temples that write goshuin, so please ask first.

By the way, I write (my brush has improved quite a bit since the linked episode).
Please be sure to stop by when you come to Yokohama (...)

Write it down as Buddha Seal and read it bluntly.
There used to be a time when I was a goshuin enthusiast, but I received an even better “seal (mark).”
Below is the content shown by Dogen, an Osho who is said to be a famous monk from the Kamakura period.
It's long, so I'll skip it here and there.
“... Buddhism is supreme in the best... just meditate and lose body and mind (enlightenment).
Even if people pass for a while, they mark the Buddha's seal in the three occupations, and when they sit down at the end of the earth, all the feudal realms become Buddha seals, and everything becomes empty and empty.”
If you receive the goshuin called the Buddha Seal of this place, you will be safe for the rest of your life.
If I were to translate it,
“If you collect goshuin, the end is to ask for Buddhist seals.
There is no doubt that if you experience a state where your body, mouth, and mind are out of your mind, selflessness, and a state where you can break out of the web of thoughts, even for a moment (= showing the Buddha seal), the whole world will be full of chaos and you will be happy every day.
Learning this is the goshuin, Buddha seal that will be a lifelong treasure.
It's not a stamp for people to push, it's a genuine endorsement.
A sure heart, a heart without hesitation, a seal of passing the heart, and a true taikusan recognized by the Buddha.
This goshuin and this seal are on the inside, but I wonder where they are ~? As an Osho, I'm happy when I understand it. (^o^)
