Monthly SACRED Fire Ceremony

Fudosan Kongo-Ji

Goma Fire Ceremony

On the 28^th of every month at Fudosan Kongo Ji Temple near New Haven, CT we perform a traditional Japanese Fire Ritual known as “Goma.” Most cultures make use of sacred fire and our Goma is an esoteric rite brought to Japan from ancient India . For millennia, it has been a powerful vehicle for burning away obstacles on the path to enlightenment, honoring the divine, and manifesting wishes and desires.

We welcome all faiths and backgrounds to join us for an experience with the sacred fire ceremony.

 We hope you will enjoy our site; our humble attempt to share the Goma. If you would like, please contact us for more information.

About the image: This beautiful calligraphy was given to us by the Shingon master, Reverend Jomyo Tanaka to be used to share the Goma ceremony with others. The characters spell out “Fudo-Shin,” the meaning is to have the heart of resolute immoveable spirit that radiates wisdom and compassion.
