So hello, we are at the Nami Oi. Nami shrine. Yes. And so we are supposed to pray for the live people.

And in order to pray for live people, we clean our hands, mouth, and heart. So you go there, use the live spring water, wash your left hands first and then the right hands second and wash your mouth and the heart and then you go there to pray. And how do you pray?

Absolutely. Lovely. Thank you.
