The sun is setting in the west. Tomorrow is the vernal equinox, the day when day and night are of equal length...
The west is the other shore (the world of enlightenment, the afterlife) and the east is this shore (the world full of earthly desires, this world).
Pray towards the equinox (the Pure Land) where the sun sets due west, and show love and gratitude to your ancestors.
With boundless love, gratitude and prayers on the sacred Vernal Equinox, a day to praise Mother Nature and give thanks to the eight million gods...
