The College Division of the Students Training Course was held in Jiba from March 2 to 12 with the theme: \u201cHinokishin<\/em>\u2014Expressing our gratitude in practice.\u201d During the period, two sessions were held with each lasting five days and four nights.<\/p>\n

The course was held for the first time in three years following pandemic-related disruptions. A total of 498 university, junior college, graduate school, and technical school students connected to the path participated in the course and 235 staff members took care of the participants.<\/p>\n

During the course, the students learned the basic teachings such as \u201ca thing lent, a thing borrowed\u201d and \u201chinokishin<\/em>\u201d and deepened their learning through group activities like discussions, which also helped them cultivate friendships with their fellow participants. In the hinokishin<\/em> program, which was a key part of the course, the students cleaned the Corridors of the sanctuaries and pulled weeds in the sanctuary precincts. In a lecture after the hinokishin<\/em>, Rev. Yoshisuke Chatani, chairperson of the Students Advisory Committee, noted that the Joyous Life can be realized only if there are friends to walk with. \u201cMaking precious friends can bring you a lifetime treasure that will inspire and nurture you,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cI would like you to walk the path with one another while helping one another.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the closing ceremony, the students completed the course by performing the dance to the Eight Verses of the Yorozuyo. They received certificates of completion from their group counselors and made a promise to see one another again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
