An End usher in a new Beginning

With the opening of our temple, Kofuzan Kaimyo-in, we ushered in a new era. Gone are the days when we don't have a permanent place to practise. Now, we have a permanent place whereby we can carry out our practice in peace. This is the new era, an era whereby we are not fighting to establish a temple, but fighting to protect it from any harm and to ensure the continuity of our temple and the law down the future generations.

This is our new mission, to protect, to practise and to propagate.

Cultural is finally over. All the effort, the sweat and blood is worth it when the performance that is presented before the High Priest is the best of all the runs before it. From the first technical run to the last full dress rehearsal, there is none that is good. Everytime, there is something wrong somewhere. It is either someone miss the cue, the timing is messy or simply there is no soul in the whole performance. But amazingly, in front of the High Priest, everything iron out. In short, the soul of the show is there. In fact, i was almost moved to tears at the finale.

Anyway, the end of the cultural means i am back to my normal life. I guess i will take some time to adapt back to the days where my weekends are not spent on rehearsals...
