National Treasure Hayaraigo

Overview

In this program, Perfume, navigated by Hikaru Ijuin, will explore the secrets of the national treasure "Amida 25 Bosatsu Raigo-zu (Early Arrival and Departure)" at Chion-in Temple in Kyoto, Japan. Why do the Buddhas fly at an angle? It is related to the teachings of Honen Shonin, who taught that one could go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss by chanting "Namu Amidabutsu," and the "salvation" sought by the people of the Kamakura period.
