Shuni-e

Today, Kannon Buddhist temples in Japan do Shuni-e. The Shuni-e of Tōdai-ji takes place from March 1 to 14 to purify the secular world of its sins and promote the prosperity of the country. It was organized there for the first time by Jitchū, a monk of the Kegon school, as a sign of Kannon's repentance in 752, and has been held every year since. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #1March #Shunie #TodaiJi #Japan #Kannon
