Seasonal Letter, October: “be with prayer in your heart”
Jigenji Temple – Seasonal Letters “be with prayer in your heart”
Long ago, people looked up at the moon to decide when to sow seeds and when to harvest.
Even now, the moon shines down on us gently, just as it always has, no matter the era.
This year, the Harvest Moon will be on October 6.
As we give thanks for the blessings of the autumn harvest, let us quietly bring our hands together in prayer toward the moon.
[ Monthly Words ]
Perhaps life would feel richer if, in ordinary moments, we could notice and hold a quiet prayer in our hearts.
When your prayers are for good things—like wishing to guide your own feelings with calm, or hoping to share bright and joyful times with those around you—those wishes, in time, circle back and gently lead your own life toward the light.
