蓮光寺（Renkoji-Temple) located about 15 minutes away from my house. This is the temple of Jodo Shinshu. Jodo Shinshu is one of the many Buddhism schools;
(I'll quote from this site) Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, or Shin Buddhism, is based upon the teachings and writings of Shinran Shonin (1173-1262) and Rennyo Shonin (1415-1499). "Shonin" is a Japanese term that means "sage" or "master." "Jodo Shinshu" means literally "True Pure Land Sect."

Sorry for my poor pictures, my friends. This extra one is put inside of my tiny front door. I sometimes buy some flowers and put them there. I wish I had my flower garden which turned into my husband's hobby room. (I'll put some pics of it some other time for green day)

Thank you very much for stopping by;
I always feel so guilty posting before commenting my dear friends, I'll have time tonight. I'm making " 焼きめし,yakimeshi; flied rice" for lunch out of husband's request. But I fresh out of mushrooms, wonder how he says for the taste p;)
I wish you have a wonderful coming weekend.
Miyako,
ReplyDeleteEu estava com saudade de vir aqui. Semana passada eu fiquei ausente da internet e não pude participar.
Esse templo é muito lindo, assim como tudo no Japão.
As flores são lindas e vão enfeitar ainda mais sua linda casa.
Um lindo final de semana. Abraços
Dearest Miyako san,
ReplyDeleteGreat temple setting and always with such a rich history going back ages in time... Interesting information.
Love your flowers and they look very healthy. You made a very special arrangement in your vase too.
Hugs,
Mariette
You know blogging should be fun and no guilt attached, we are happy to have around at any time, so do not worry! Lovely temple pictures!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely to meet you via blogging and learn about each others cultures. For example your lovely chrysanthemums are considered unlucky to bring indoors in Italy. You will find out why in this recent post on News From Italy, All Saints Day - Tutti i Santi Ognissanti.
ReplyDeleteOlá, Miyako, fotos lindas desse templo e seus crisântemos também são lindos! Gostei muito! Parabéns! Grande abraço!
ReplyDeleteLindas imagens! O templo passa uma sensação de tranquilidade e paz, as cores da vegetação são lindas! Um abraço, feliz green day!

I always learn so much from your wonderful posts, my dear friend Miyako! The flowers are lovely and your dinner sounds like it was delicious! You have so much rich history around you. Hope your weekend is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSempre temos PAZ aqui!Lindo! beijos,chica
ReplyDeleteThe photos are wonderful. I would love to visit a temple like that! I love the Chrysanthemums too xxx
ReplyDeleteDear little sister,
ReplyDeleteThe temple photos are beautiful especially the third photo with the fall colors of the trees in the forground.
Lately I find that it is taking me longer to make the rounds of the blogs I visit but I don't think we need to feel guilty about being slow to visit. I also don't always leave a comment because some times it is hard for me to think of something to say and I don't feel guilty about that either. Claudia said that blogging should be fun with no guilt attached and she is right about that. So my dear little sis don't feel guilty because we are glad to have you visit whenever you find the time. This was a beautiful post as always. Be well my sweet bs. Love you always
i like the little 'hairnets' the mums are wearing. :) a gorgeous temple and garden area.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful temple in a lovely setting.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with your pictures they are lovely.
Pretty flowers and your dinner sounds delicious.
Have fun with your blog!!!
Hi dear Miyako. You're such a good supporter of Fiona's Green Day. That dinner sounds very yummy, and I'm sure it was very much enjoyed. Beautiful photos for us today. Isn't the temple beautiful? They always seem to give off such an air of tranquility and peace. I hope you are keeping well my friend. Sending hugs and blessings your way. x

ReplyDeleteHi Miyako san. Your photos of the temple is beautiful!! I love seeing and visiting temples. I would love to visit there some day!
ReplyDeleteKiku flowers look very pretty. I love your lovely vase, too :-) I have hard time pronouncing Kiku in English by the way...
