Gokaihi Ceremony on this day....Then its Oneri Rite at the Niten-Mon Gate. (Watching young priests running with torch..Then we go to the Great Lecture Hall to watch live video of the San San Kudo ceremony.. A complex sake drinking process. You got to watch it carefully to know how it works and also to keep yourself from asleep. This day....No shower...Still Ok....No sweat....

Ushitora Gongyo 2nd time...Splendid....!!! Thn after...at 5am we depart to Osaka...It takes 11 hours ride to reach there...Then at night, we had exchange meet at the Myogyoji temple. Good experiences being shared... 3 from each country. Rev & president also given their speech. One thing I remembered most is that...."While sometimes we may not be able to achieve certain objective, ONE must consider whether he has already made the move to do it or just sitting on it ".
Nov 23rd
We had breakfast and head straight to Honmonji Temple for Oeishiki ceremony. One guidance leaves a deep mark....A story of the China King...who wants to make a bowl out of the elephant's tusk (something like that)...So...after you get a special bowl... you need a pair of special chop stick.. Then, you need real exotic food to match these accessories. In the end, because of the DESIRE of the king, it will cost the people alot...The moral in this story...Its important for us to have desires but MUST within control and is of good deed. And............

Early morning....heads to Kansai airport..check -in..hang around.......Fly back....
THE END....Good Trip.....
