Here is an interesting article about Jizo and the ceremony for lost children by Lion’s Roar.

Jizzo, we need your help, "what a friend we have in Jizzo, all our sins and 'cares' to bear all because...'we do' not carry all or sins to God in prayer..." This is part paraphrase, part memory of what I was taught in a Fundamentalist church as a boy-- for me there are millions of fragments in songs and sermons from age 6 to age 14 ;14 when I began to realize in rebellion that there was something to science, even fictions in sciences, so there was for me the atheist, or agnostic but whose counting. About 8 years ago, Oct. 3, 2011, I came so close to bleeding out, I could taste the 10 units whole blood, 4 unites platelets into my veins pumped over 3 days in ICU, 5 days in constant care, and three weeks in hospital taught me a lesson, that the liquid muscle relaxant, benzos in quarts with many other ingredients brought me closer to God. Nevertheless, I was angry, so angry no Buddha would have had my greed and ignorance, thereafter reaching out to any life preserver I could find, prayer too. Jesus too, Buddha too. Ultimately, for at least now, putting out of my mind the pandemic.

my last entry for today, Jundo, so it goes, and Vonnegut was U.U. like me.
