Second-Wednesday Dharma Talk:
O-Higan
With Yanagido Del Smith
In Japan, the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, commonly called o-higan, are regarded as times when spirits of the dead return to the world of the living. Many people visit their family graves and make special offerings to ancestral spirits at the altars in their homes. Buddhist temples hold equinox assemblies (higan e) that feature offerings to spirits. The term higan, literally, the “other shore” or “opposite bank” of a river, entered the vocabulary of East Asian Buddhism as a metaphor for nirvana.
