May 1, 2026 (Friday) Kōeisai
On May 1st, marking the start of Kōei Shinja Sanpaiji, we will reflect on our own spiritual journey and confirm the challenges we face in the second half of the year, guided by Shinshu, Kyōshu, and Shinhōshi. If we can grasp what we need to work on through the Shinji revealed to us because they are necessary at this time, our spiritual progress throughout the year will be more certain.
