As we have entered the months of Kōju (now), learning the teachings and living life supported by the principles, open up your kokoro and talk to Kami.
You will see your kokoro and understand how great Shinkon’s protection is.

In its long history, Shinji Kyōkai has built facilities for salvation to realize true salvation. At the center of these facilities is Shinjitsu no Michi Kaikan at Shinsōhonbu, which consists of Kōmyōden (place of worship to Kami) and Anmyōden (place for paying respect to our hotoke—ancestors), as well as Hikari no Sato, which includes the interment facility, the place of resting the soul—Shingyoku no Sato. This year, Hikari no Sato has completed its renovation work and is now revitalized for a new beginning.
When visiting us during the months of Kōju Shinja Sanpaiji, please be sure to visit Shinsōhonbu, Kōmyōden, Anmyōden, and Hikari no Sato. If you are unable to visit during this time at Shinsōhonbu, please pay your respects wholeheartedly at the Kōmyō no Ma, Anmyō no Ma and Shingyoku no Sono at Hikari no Yakata.

Express your Gratitude Directly to Kami
Airei no Gi Ceremony
September 24 ~ November 15

Once you have submitted the Onrei Gokigansho, it is recommended to attend the Airei no Gi Ceremony held at the Shinjitsu no Michi Kaikan, Kōmyōden, at Shinsōhonbu. By directly expressing your gratitude to Kami (through ceremony), your bond with Kami will become stronger. Your jittai will elevate, and you will be able to make great strides toward kaiun. If you cannot make it to the Shinsōhonbu, you can offer kigan with all your heart at Kōmyō no Ma at Hikari no Yakata.
