The setting sun in the west, tomorrow is the first day of spring, the day when day and night are the same length.
The west is the other shore (the world of enlightenment, the other world), and the east is this world (the world filled with vexations, this world).
We pray toward the other shore (the world of Paradise) where the sun sets in the true west, and we give thanks to our ancestors with compassion.
On the precious Spring Equinox Day, when we praise nature and give thanks to all the gods, we express our infinite love, gratitude, and prayers.
