Description 'Henkei': "Centuries ago, according to ancient legend, Buddhists in Japan spent their mortal life in preparation for departure from earth. For it was thier belief that the salvation they sought, could be found only in the New World beyong, where Love, Truth and Tranquility prevailed.
The story unfolds as the Elder Women and the handmaidens of the Temple are freed of their earthly bonds. The journey that follows, and the final rejoicing as they join those who preceded them into this paradise."
