Koyasan's Jizo Bon - Okuribi Service on August 20th at 10 a.m.
|
Koyasan's JizoBon and Okuribi Services will be held on August 20th at 10 a.m. Please set aside time to attend this important service for 2017.
Mizuko Jizo Bon is the guardian of the unborn, aborted, miscarried and stillborn babies. The Jizo Bon memorial service is conducted for infants who passed away before birth or within the first year of life. As part of the service, offerings are made to Mizo statues to thank them for protecting our children. The statues are washed and decorated with new red bibs and hats. Okuribi means "send off" fire. The wooden tablets (yogi) from Obon are used as part of the service, signifying that the spirits of the departed, return back to the other world after their yearly visit. Koyasan's Okuribi Service is held in the Temple courtyard. |
