Obon is not just an 'event,' but a special 'time gate' where the Japanese soul connects with the universe.
🌸What is Obon? A 'time to reunite with souls'
Obon, held in August (or July) in Japan, is considered a time when ancestors and departed souls return to 'this world'.
🕊️ Spiritually, it is known as 'Urabon' (in Buddhism)
🌌 Spiritually, it is 'a time when the soul's dimensional gate opens'
✨What does it mean for the dead to 'return'?
This is not a scary story—
it means the veil of vibration becomes thin, making it easier for our souls and the souls of the departed to overlap.
Prayers become easier to reach
The love of our ancestors supports us 'now'
Feeling strong 'nostalgia' or 'sadness' is proof of resonance
🌈Why Japanese people cherish 'Obon'
🔹1. A people who feel the connection between land and soul
Since ancient times, Japanese people have believed that nature, land, family, and life are 'things where souls reside'.
Obon is a 'time of spirituality' to remember that.
The culture of welcoming ancestors is also an act of synchronizing with the vibrations of the universe✨
🔹2. A day that becomes a bridge between the 'afterlife' and 'this world'
Lanterns lit at the Buddhist altar = guideposts for souls
Shoryo-uma (cucumber and eggplant) = vehicles for souls
Okuribi (send-off fire) = a flame of love saying, 'Please come again next year'
These were rituals to harmonize with the invisible world.
🔹3. The 'gate of the dead' common to the world
Mexico's 'Day of the Dead'
Celtic culture's 'Samhain (Halloween)'
China's 'Yulanpen Festival'
What they all have in common
is that they characterize 'death' not as an end, but as a connection.
🕊️ A message from Reina
Obon is a time when the door to the 'present,' which connects the past and the future, opens.
Prayer, gratitude, and stillness
become vibrations that allow you to naturally receive support from higher dimensions.
When you quietly press your hands together in prayer,
there is a great deal of love standing behind you.
