First Sunday of September 11:00~

Cucumber blessing

After the hottest time of the year has ended and the fatigue of summer begins to show in the body, we hold health prayers and health techniques handed down by Kobo Daishi on the Sunday Goma Festival in September, which is close to Hassaku day in the old calendar.

Through a hot goma prayer, ailments in the body and various worldly misfortunes, resentment, jealousy and other obstacles are sealed into a cucumber, which is then buried in mountain soil.

Moxibustion

We also offer "Horoku Moxibustion," in which a "Horoku" plate is placed on the head and moxibustion is performed. Horoku Moxibustion restores physical condition by placing moxa on the Baihui acupoint at the top of the head and stimulating it. The remaining heat is also used to warm the Tanden acupoint. This is particularly effective for women, who tend to get sick from the cold air conditioning in the summer.

Cucumber Kaji and Horoku Moxibustion

It's okay if you come and apply. If there are a lot of people, we will do it in the order of applications.

9月第一日曜日

​月護摩縁日の日 11:00から

​ほうろく灸とは

弘法大師が伝え、広めたとされる夏の健康法です。

 

頭に”ほうろく”皿という素焼きの皿を載せて、お加持した”もぐさ”を乗せて、お護摩の火を移し、お灸をします。

ほうろく灸は頭の頂点の百会というツボに灸をすえて刺激することにより身体の調子を回復します。

 

また、百会のつぼの後は〝丹田”という身体の中心のツボを温めます。特に女性にはエアコンの冷えなどで調子を崩しやすい夏の体調を整えます。

​お灸の間に、お加持をしてもらい、身体の不調だけでなく、日々の暮らしの中で知らず知らずのうちに身に降りかかる災厄、障礙などを祓い清めます。

ほうろく灸は当日に、直接お寺にきていただき、お申し込みください。
