お坊さんと落語のブログ A blog of Buddhism and rakugo

お坊さん(浄土真宗)です。落語も好きで、歴史にも興味あります。 I am a Buddhist priest of Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha. I like rakugo (Japanese traditional comic storytelling) I am interested in history.

初詣の時期、とくに1月1日から3日、お寺や神社へ多くの人がお参りします。でも、今度のお正月は新型コロナウイルス対策のため、初詣しないという人が少なくありません。有名な所は混むでしょうが、有名でなくてもお参りできます。地元を見直してみてはいかがでしょうか?
In Japan, we have a custom that we worship at Buddhist temples or Shinto shrines on new year's days, especially from January 1 through 3. But, gathering people can spread COVID-19. So, quite a few people have decided not to go there in the next new year's days. Famous temples and shrines may be crowded. But, we can worship where it is unknown. I recommend you to review your neighborhood.
