【????? ?????? hd】Higashi Honganji Obon Slated for July 27

Higashi Honganji Buddhist Temple, 505 E. Third St. (at Central) in Little Tokyo, will hold its Obon Festival on Saturday and Sunday, July 27-28, from 1 to 9 p.m.

Obon is a traditional event to honor and express gratitude to the spirits of our ancestors, those before us who provided us with the gift of life. The Obon Festival is a celebration of the return of the spirits of our ancestors. It features food, games, farmer’s market, flower market, tea ceremony demonstrations, traditional Bon Odori dancing, and various types of entertainment.

Everyone, experienced or not, is invited to join in the dancing on both nights. Wear yukata or happi coats if you have them, or come as you are.

Services

Hatsubon service for those who have passed on since the last Obon will be held on Sunday at 11:30 a.m.? Manto-e services will be held on Saturday at 6 p.m. and Sunday at 5:30 p.m.

The tradition of Manto-e, originating some 1,200 years ago, is to light the sky with “ten thousand lanterns.” Lanterns can be offered in memory of a departed loved one. To apply for one, click here.

Tea Ceremony

Ogasawara-ryu Sencha-do tea ceremony demonstrations will be given by Matsumura Shachu downstairs in Room 2 on Sunday at 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30 p.m.
