March 2026

 Also this last month of March, Shinmeizan has welcomed several guests both for individual visits, like the renowned composer Hayashi Akihiko with his wife Tomoko from Tokyo, on March 16-17,

 or as a group, like the 24 Catholics from Sri Lanka, living in Japan, who came for a day of retreat an March 24,

 or the group of 8 people led by the ‘Paradise’ Travel Agency from Tokyo-Yokohama, who came for a three days retreat on March 24-26, joined by other three people from Oita and Fukuoka.

 Among the various activities in the field of interreligious dialogue carried out this month by Shinmeizan, we wish to recall especially our visit to the Kiyomizudera Temple of Ven. Nabeshima Ryukei (Tendai Buddhism) at Miyama, Fukuoka Pref., with the Group for Interreligious Dialogue of Kumamoto, on March 22.
