Goshuin

What is goshuin?

A goshuin (red stamp) is a seal stamp given to worshippers and visitors to Buddhist temples.

Rev. Kumazawa , the head priest of the Myorinji temple is an Buddhist painting artist who is well known overseas.

 

The seal stamps are often collected in books called goshuincho that are sold at temples.

You can purchase one at Myorinji.

goshuincho

There are two types of goshuin at Myorin-ji Temple.

1. Write directly on the goshu incho.

In recent years, those who do not have family graves and wish for sea burial are increasing.

For such people, the head priest of the

Myorinji has hundreds of years of sea burial history since the temple is just a minute from the Oiso beach.


The sea burial is carried out in Chigasaki Shonan, a point more than 3 nautical miles (6 km) from the land, and in an area away from the fishery and aquaculture area in the direction of "Eboshiiwa" seen from Chigasaki "Southern Beach" ..


After the sea burial, the “Eboshiiwa” replaces the monument of the deceased.
