“The ceremony was good because it gave us the opportunity to bond and enjoy the moment together.

“We were competing with our colleagues to sing the best and jump the highest in our dance. Ultimately, we all enjoyed the event,” said Mr Moroto.   

The leader of Shinnyo-en Buddhist sect, High Priest Shinso Ito, was part of the celebrations that were streamed live on the Internet.
