🏮🐉 We’re at the Andover Asian Market TODAY! 🐉🏮

Come visit Kosen-ji in downtown Andover! We’re set up near the town offices and the regular Farmers Market, closer to the Bartlet/Chestnut Street intersection.

⏰ Today, 10 AM–5 PM

We’re offering Omikuji (おみくじ), traditional Japanese fortune slips, and we also have a selection of our temple amulets available.

🐉 We’re offering a few extra prayers to the Dragon Kings that the weather holds out for us today. There might be a thunder shower around 2 PM, so the dragons might have opinions. 🌦️

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone soon! Come say hello, learn a little about the temple, draw an Omikuji, and enjoy the market.

And if anyone feels called to the highly meritorious practice of helping us break down at 5 PM, assistance would be VERY welcome. 😂🙏

📍 Downtown Andover
🕙 10 AM–5 PM
⛩️ Look for Kosen-ji near Bartlet & Chestnut!

南無妙法蓮華経 🙏
