About “Go-eika” and “Go-wasan” (“Pilgrims song” and “Japanese hymn”)
We also recommend that you sing “Go-eika” to praise each of the deities and “Go-wasan” for the Daishi.
By singing songs and chanting, the understanding of each place and the master will be deeper.
When singing, it is appropriate to follow “Kyomitsu Shingon” (Mantra of Light).
Since Daishi works at Daishido, the essence of the god is omitted, so we will omit the “Honzon Shingon” as it is described above.
