We were lucky to be able to observe this Buddhist ceremony. It was fascinating and beautiful. The Amida Buddha used to be housed in a temple complex but was destroyed by a tsunami in the 15th century and has remained outdoors ever since. For a small fee it is possible to enter the metal statue. It is lit inside by windows on the massive Buddha's back. A fundraiser with local dignitaries was going on for the victims of the recent tsunami. We purchased a beautiful iron souvenir then walked back to the train station. PHOTOS

• Buddhist cause of longevity: abstaining from killing and harming in the past. Both taking life and injuring others lead one to be sickly and short lived IF and when one gets the chance to be reborn in the human world again. (These grave offenses tend to lead to inferior forms of rebirth -- in the Great Waste of unfortunate subhuman destinations).
