ISSHIN CHŌRAI
JIPPŌ HŌKAI JŌJŪ SANBŌ x3
(Translation: I mindfully prostrate in the ten directions of the Dharma realm in which the triple gem is revealed.)
I offered incense, sake and rice to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Ten Directions and the Kami-sama residing in the Gensokyo egregore. I excluded sake for the Buddhist beings of course.
I drank my cup.
I recited the LOTUS SUTRA AVALOKITESVARA “UNIVERSAL GATEWAY” CHAPTER VERSE in Japanese while beating my drum between each syllable.
English version: "https://www.buddhistdoor.com/OldWeb/resources/sutras/lotus/sources/lotus25.htm"
I prayed to Kannon Bosatsu, asking her to make me be able and connect with the anons by naming each pseudonym. I also asked her to relieve all of our sufferings.
OM MANI PADME HUM x108 while beating my drum between each syllable (although I forgot and failed at this a bit at the start)
I memorize the sigil and burn it and then stop the recording.
The experience:
I could only stand 20 minutes.
As I entered the backdoor, Kannon Bosatsu help my hand downwards a rocky staircase, walking for a little while, I flashed between no-self and being Okina. I saw the red Torii gate and entered in a flash of rainbow colors. I could only see an eclipse, a white snake, a glowing color of red and a silver quill until they all melted together into a mishmash of colors. Tears welled up over how beautiful the oneness of the universe was. I lost focus and kept trying to come back, I saw faces in the incense smoke. I tried entering the Torii again, same flash of colors, I found a forest. I could touch grass and feel it, I hugged the earth and my body was constantly shifting into other beings. I lost focus again, I kept trying to reel back in again, trying to feel what the other anons were feeling, but I could only feel my own tiredness. Then I felt like I was melting until it was unbearable and I stopped the session.
With the help of Kannon Bosatsu, I did not meet specific people or a specific location, but met all of the beings in the universe. Which was much more than I wanted!!! Reel me back in!!! Aughh!!! Maybe I called a deity that was too powerful. It was wonderful and very overwhelming at the same time.
I dreamt about the thread, which I never did before, meaning we were still connected. However I remember basically nothing. I only remember an obstacle, Keiki (though in relation to the anon who worships her) and judgement from other anons over a thing I will not disclose. The final one seems to be unrelated insecurity seeping in though.
