On December 11th and 12th, the exhibition "Terahak", where you can experience the world of Buddhism, will be held at the Hirosaki City Hyakusekicho Exhibition Hall (Hirosaki City Hyakusekicho). Sponsored by "Tsugaru Kobo Daishi Holy Place Shingon Sect Tsugaru Buddhist Church".

“I would like to make this an event like a cultural festival to draw attention to the space of temples that are difficult to visit in everyday life,” said Daiju Makita, a priest of Kongoji Temple (Miyamoto, Hachimanzaki, Hirakawa).

At the venue, "Coloring Mandala" is a painting of Buddha that is painted on the wall to complete a large mandala, "Syomyo" live of Buddhist music, and a handy "Sutra" that traces eight lines of sutras. Prepare various projects such as “experience”.

According to Makita, individual projects are being held at Shingon Buddhist temples across the country, but it is probably the first attempt to gather them in one place and experience them all together.

There are relatively few Shingon Buddhist temples in the Tsugaru region, and it is unfamiliar to residents. This event was held in cooperation with all Shingon Buddhist temples in the prefecture.
