We have obtained a brand new video from Guatemala.
Please take a look at it.
Combined sacred ceremonies of the traditional Mayan People and the representatives of the Agon Shu (new Buddhist faith group) from Japan were held at the old relics of Tikal on October 10 and at Ixim Che on October 12. Great “Fire Ceremonies” were held at both places. They were “the Ceremonies of Two Cultures for Eternity toward Baktun”.
The Mayan People have built a huge altar for big fires and the people from Agon Shu set up their own altar for cedar-stick burning next to it. The fire originated by the Mayan People was passed on to the people of Agon Shu and they cooperated in huge fire burnings.
After the ceremonies, a joint communiqué was publicized to the world in the name of Don Alejandro Cirilo Oxlaj, the 13th Generation Quiche Mayan High Priest, and Chief Abbot Seiyu Kiriyama of Agon Shu. They have vowed to try to build the world of peace for our future generations by transcending the barriers of religions.
We, the group from Taikoku Miroku Taisha of Japan, were kindly included in the groups of the Mayan People by the cordial assistance from Don Alejandro. It was thanks to Don’s consideration based on the Mayan prophecy that “the whole world and the people is one family and we should unite as one”.
It was our privilege and honor that we could join the Mayan People for the ceremonies.
Since Chief Abbot Seiyu Kiriyama of Agon Shu could not participate in it due to a previous appointment, his representatives were doing the job for him.
