Goma throws a goma tree into the flame in the altar to ward off evil and calamity, purify one's desires, and fulfill one's aspirations. It is an esoteric ritual to ask. At Oyama Temple, once a year (usually on February 28) a special event is held. Godangoma sets up altars in front of the Five Great Myō Kings, places a fire furnace in front of each altar, burns milk, etc., and prays to the Honzon. We burn the firewood of our troubles with the fire of wisdom and pray for no illness and disaster, increased profits, and respect. This ceremony is visited by many pilgrims from far and wide, and it is crowded with bonfires all day long. Even if you look at the whole country, it is rare to see a goma performed at the five altars. The Godan Goma practice is a special event held once a year, but the regular Goma prayer is held every day, and it is a valuable experience that anyone can participate in. In the solemn atmosphere of Oyama Temple deep in the mountains, please spend a moment to wash your heart. Away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, you can purify your mind and body by participating in the ritual of Goma and return to your daily life with a new mindset. Please enjoy this precious opportunity to bring peace and moisture to your heart along with the solemn atmosphere of the temple. Anyone can participate, so feel free to ask.

Perhaps due to the influence of the warm winter, it seems that the flowering is earlier than usual. The scent is good, and you can feel the arrival of spring a little earlier. By the way, wax plum is also a yellow flower that blooms during this season, but this is a member of the Roubai family, and it seems to be a different variety from the plum of the Rosaceae family.

【First Yakushi in Reiwa 6】 Yesterday, the annual Yakushi event "Hatsuyakushi" was held, and it was crowded with many pilgrims. Around 12 o'clock, there was a line of cars in the parking lot of the Hyuga Yakushi bus stop and the Yakushi Forest Road, and it was difficult to pass each other. After turning back, I was finally parked in the parking lot of Bochu and walked from the mountain gate to the main hall. An elderly man who came down said, "You're afraid to come, I don't have porridge anymore," and I stopped in my tracks. But a picture is worth a thousand words. We had just started the climb, so we hurried ahead. When I went up to the main hall, I found that the porridge oven was still being cleaned, and unfortunately I couldn't have it this year.
