今日は托鉢がやってきた。
お坊さんが各家庭を廻り、1分ほど経を唱えて行く。
町の仏教界で行っているので、お布施はしない。
後で檀家総代が集金に来る。
お金は中学生の礼儀作法教室に使われるとのこと。
犬たちはパニックだ。集落中で吠え声がする。墨染めの衣と低音の読経が恐怖を与えるらしい。
Today we had a Takuhatsu day.
Buddhist monks travel to collect money or foods door to door but in our town we don't give anything to them, after that a leader of their believers come to collect money for them.
Money will be used to educate students in junior high schools to teach manners.
Dogs in my neighborhood all were in a panic and barked hard.
They must be scared to monks' black clothes and chanting a sutra with low voices.
