The sutra has hiragana written ...Rurousha and Dru,<br /><br />The sutra has hiragana written alongside the Chinese characters. So, I'm sure you can try. (^^)<br /><br />But one thing, I did not include in my post, because it was kind of difficult to explain...<br /><br />There were 30 or so people in the hall, and many of them (not all of them) seemed to belong to this temple. When we were going to the pond after the ceremony, the lady of the temple handed us a bag (red-bean rice and red-and-white manju were in it). I had made no offering yet, and I felt odd receiving it, so I declined. But she gave it anyway. Then, I noticed, we can make offering of 1000 yen at the table with goldfish. I don't know if it was enough. But that's what I did.<br /><br />They are too modest to tell us what we should do. I thought you should know.<br /><br />Just releasing the goldfish part is a different story, I suppose.<br /><br />But if you are interested and can read hiragara, why don't you give it a try ? (^^) <br /><br />Dru, PLEASE leave your dogs home, though I know they are very smart and can "chant" well.(^_-)Merry Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036087955290939867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269175628350312471.post-24330342709264397462013-11-03T23:26:04.786+09:002013-11-03T23:26:04.786+09:00For a second I thought you put the goldfish IN you...For a second I thought you put the goldfish IN your fridge. ;)<br /><br />Sounds like a nice event. I should give it a try, but I don't know if I could even read the sutra. I would need it all in hiragana...<br /><br />The goldfish does look nice though.

So how could ...The battle is over, not the war. :D<br /><br />So how could you read the sutras? Were they written in hiragana? I've heard they can be written in very old Japanese or even Chinese or Indian scripts.<br /><br />Maybe next year I'll come lurk behind a tree and observe from a distance. ^^Ruroushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10638258526527895171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269175628350312471.post-23572025999116482562013-11-01T22:05:03.836+09:002013-11-01T22:05:03.836+09:00Minoruさま

I've attended many Buddhist services before, but I never had to chant. Here, they handed us a book and we read it aloud, me without knowing even a single word I'm reading. <br /><br />But I really enjoyed it.(^_^)v <br /><br />It seems some people came just to the let-the-fish-go part. Maybe you can join that?

It feels as if I should add お久しぶりですね!<br /><br />I had my busiest October ever, and when I finally popped in for another visit ... what a lovely post!<br /><br />I'd love to attend but I could never chant the sutras, so it's better to pretend-attend via your post. :)Ruroushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10638258526527895171noreply@blogger.com
