12Aug. It is almost time to close the temple for the day. Perhaps because of the typhoon, the weather has become a little cooler, and rain is expected tonight as well. With summer holidays underway, we have also welcomed walking pilgrims from overseas. Tonight, the city center will be filled with the lively festivities of the Awa Odori dance festival. But the walking pilgrims told me that they were not concerned with the festivities tonight. They would rather go to bed early and get a good rest in preparation for tomorrow's walk.
I hope they have a safe and peaceful journey tomorrow. Namu Daishi Henjō Kongō 🙏
