What To Expect
Horaku-ji Temple
Horakuji Temple is a Shingon Buddhist temple located in Higashi-sumiyoshi Ku, Osaka City. Its principal image is FudōMyouō (Acala). (Main Hall - FudōMyouō, Shakyamuni Buddha, Eleven-faced Kannon Bodhisattva, Jizo Bodhisattva, etc.) The FudōMyouō Grand Festival is held on the 28th of January, May, and September. Among many skilled spiritualists, Horakuji Temple is said to be the temple with the strongest spiritual power in the Kansai region, and it enjoys a good reputation. I have also heard stories of people who, after visiting Horakuji Temple when they were feeling unwell, found their health returned to normal while they were praying there. The guide will recite Buddhist scriptures on behalf of the tour participants.
Chohoji Temple
Chōhōji Temple is a (Kouyasan) Shingon Buddhist temple l in Hirano Honmachi, HiranoKu, Osaka City. The main object of worship is an eleven-faced Kannon Bodhisattva statue (consecrated annually on May 18th). It also is Enma-Daiō statue (opened annually on May 18th). Every year on May 18th, the doors to the main objects of worship, the eleven-faced Kannon Bodhisattva statue and the Enma Daio statue, are opened, a memorial service is held, and the seal of Enma Daio is bestowed. This seal is known as the "Passport to Paradise." During this festival, a connection is forged by bestowing upon worshippers a sacred seal bearing Enma-ō signature onto their forehead. (The bestowal of King Yama's sacred seals is rare throughout Japan.) It is said that this will prevent one from going to hell after death. The guide will recite Buddhist scriptures on behalf of the tour participants.
