Monthly Goma Service

Last Sunday of Each Month
(February through November)

Kobo Daishi introduced the "Goma Fire Rite" from China. The ceremony originated about five thousand years ago in India. The rite, called the "Fire of Great Wisdom" (Daichika), leads us to emancipation, removing the darkness of ignorance and bringing the light of enlightenment. By attending the ritual, members destroy their bad karma. Prayer wooden sticks (gomagi) are offered/burned.
The Goma Mantra is: Nomaku sammanda bazaradan senda makaroshada sowataya un tarata kamman.
