November 22, 2025: Memorial Service for My Father’s 13th Anniversary

November 22, 2025: Held the memorial service for my father’s thirteenth anniversary. He was an extremely strict man, and when I was a child, he was the person I feared most in the world. But after I became an adult, I came to understand clearly that his strictness was an expression of deep, selfless love. After I entered the working world, he became the person I could always turn to for the best advice.

The 13th-year memorial service is an important Buddhist anniversary ceremony held in the twelfth year after a person’s death. It is a significant occasion in which family members and relatives gather to honor the memory of the deceased and pray for their peaceful repose.
