This means you can accurately tell whether it is east or west by the direction of the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pure Land where the Buddha and our ancestors reside is due west. We face these people directly and engage in quiet introspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to live my life doing as many good things as possible and avoiding as many bad things as possible, I quietly think about how I am now and what I should do in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to apply what you have thought to your life from tomorrow onwards. By repeating this process, you can continue to maintain a high quality of life and live happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We chant the Nembutsu to declare our determination to live in this way and with the prayer that we will be welcomed into the Pure Land at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is the Higan festival at Shokoji Temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please apply using the form below.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"shingi-os-form-link\" style=\"margin:2.5em 0;text-align:center;\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/shingi.sk-j.or.jp\/form\/higan-aki\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;padding:1em 2.6em;background:#5a4a3a;color:#ffffff;            text-decoration:none;border-radius:6px;font-size:1.08em;font-weight:600;            line-height:1.5;\">\u79cb\u5f7c\u5cb8\u4f1a\u306e\u304a\u7533\u8fbc\u307f\u306f\u3053\u3061\u3089<\/a>\n  <p style=\"margin:0.9em 0 0;color:#6b6560;font-size:0.92em;line-height:1.8;\">\n    <strong>\u4f1a\u54e1\u767b\u9332\u306f\u5fc5\u8981\u3042\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093\u3002<\/strong>\n  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-postLink\">\t\t\t<div class=\"p-blogCard -internal\" data-type=\"type1\" data-onclick=\"clickLink\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"p-blogCard__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"p-blogCard__caption\">Related articles<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"p-blogCard__thumb c-postThumb\"><figure class=\"c-postThumb__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/key1-300x251.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"c-postThumb__img u-obf-cover\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\"><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"p-blogCard__body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"p-blogCard__title\" href=\"https:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/privacy-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">privacy policy<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"p-blogCard__excerpt\">Shokoji Temple (hereinafter referred to as &quot;our company&quot;) hereby announces the following regarding the handling of personal information of users in the services provided on this website (hereinafter referred to as &quot;this service&quot;).<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-swl-deep-01-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u30fbStupa 5 shaku (small): 5,000 yen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-border -border02 wp-block-paragraph\">Donation transfer details<br>Resona Bank, Oji Branch, Regular Account 1960454<br>Account name: [Religious Corporation Shokoji, Representative Director Takahashi Toshimitsu]<br>(Takahashi High School, Public Health Agency)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":0,"parent":22905,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"swell_btn_cv_data":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1276","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/43"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1276"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1276\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24490,"href":"https:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1276\/revisions\/24490"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
