Seal of Chichibu Grand Opening



Sanskrit seal "An"

A sacred seal with Sanskrit characters written inside a jewel.
Sanskrit is a writing system that originated in ancient India, and each character represents the power of Buddha.


Goshuin is a way to connect with gods and Buddhas

A goshuin is a seal (stamp) that you receive when you visit a shrine or temple, and it also lists the date of your visit and the name of the shrine or temple.
Originally it was a receipt for submitting a copy of a sutra, but now it is widely accepted as proof of worship.
You can keep a record of your visits by collecting them in a special notebook called a goshuincho.
This is a symbol of the faith of the worshippers and has the important meaning of connecting them with the gods and Buddhas.


The red seal is a handprint to paradise

The origin of goshuin is said to date back to the Heian period.
The origin of the goshuin is said to be that at that time, temples would give them to worshippers as proof that they had dedicated a sutra (a copy of a sutra).
The goshuin stamps are stamped with the name of the temple and the seal of the principal image, and are treasured as a memento of worship and proof of faith.

The goshuincho is also said to be a "handprint to paradise."
It is said that if you show your goshuin at Enma's judgment hall, you will be able to pray for going to paradise.

For this reason, in some areas, when a person dies, a goshuincho (stamp book) is placed in the coffin.


Is there any blessing to mailing it?

The goshuin stamps you receive by mail also reflect your own faith.

Of course, it's best to actually visit the shrine.
However, there are some people who find it difficult to come due to various circumstances.

In such cases, you can deepen your connection with the gods and Buddhas even if you are far away by applying for a goshuin by mail.
When you receive a goshuin stamp that has been written with love at a temple or shrine, it is important to offer a prayer in your heart.

It is not the goshuin itself that brings good fortune, but the heart that offers prayer that brings good fortune.


Continuing from the Edo period Like a substitute

A daisan is when someone visits a shrine or temple on behalf of someone who is unable to make the pilgrimage due to old age, illness, or busy schedule.
This tradition has continued since the Edo period.

The same applies to receiving a goshuin by mail.
At Jyoraku-ji Temple, the head priest and all the staff will pray wholeheartedly for those who are unable to visit, so please rest assured.
