PRESIDENT’S COLUMN
By Dr. Gordon Bermant
Obon
Ekoji, my home temple in
Fairfax Station, Virginia, celebrated Obon on July 14 and 15.
The religious and secular events
fulfilled our aspirations for this
ancient observance, also called
Kangi-e, “Gathering of Joy.”
In truth, over the weekend I
did not think about Mogallana,
his mother the hungry ghost, and
the rest of the ancient history of
Obon. My thoughts went back
only to Ekoji’s Obon celebration
in 1986. That was the day I first
set foot at Ekoji and met Reverend K.T. Tsuji. Fair to say, that
meeting changed my life. I have
written about it elsewhere. Here
I’d like to describe the 1986 celebration briefly, return to the
celebration of 2007, then try to
draw a couple of lessons from a
comparison of the two celebrations.
1986
The Saturday celebration in
1986, just five years after the
temple’s founding, was a simple
affair, attended by temple members, friends, and small groups of
casual observers. The Minyo
dancers based in Washington
D.C. led the dances dressed in
their traditional costumes, no
matter the stifling heat and humidity of a Virginia summer evening. Standing to the side, wearing his black robe, Reverend
Tsuji invited and exhorted everyone to dance, enjoying himself as
much as anyone present. Food
and drink were very simple, and
little if anything was for sale.
This was a celebration, not a
fund-raiser.
Simplicity also characterized
the Sunday service. Reverend
Tsuji placed a large wooden display board beside the naijin;
members who wished to honor
loved ones who had passed away,
placed photos of them on the
board. Reverend Tsuji’s dharma
talk emphasized traditional
themes of families, return to
roots, and gratitude for all who
have gone before us. That gathering, as so often at Ekoji, a
splendid pot-luck lunch followed
the service, produced as if by
magic, by Mrs. Tsuji, and the
temple women who always knew
what to do.
2007
Fast-forward 21 years to last
weekend’s events. Ekoji is approaching its 26th anniversary
with almost nine years in our
wonderful temple and education
center located on a beautiful corner lot in suburban Virginia just
a couple of miles from our previous hondo in a condo. Groups of
volunteers have been organized

Ministers Continuing Education

I
was able to attend the BCA Ministers Continuing Education Seminar on June 26 - 28 at the
Jodo Shinshu Center in Berkeley, California. It
was, I believe, the seventh session bringing together
active BCA ministers for a specially designed program. Reverends Hiroshi Abiko-San Francisco, Ron
Kobata-Office of the Bishop, Akio Miyaji-Orange
County, Gerald Sakamoto-San Jose, Kodo UmezuCBE, and I, were provided with thought-provoking
and practical information. This series of seminars
that began three years ago starting with the newest
group of ministers from Japan, and then attended
by groups of five to six according to tenure, will
continue through to our senior colleagues. Each session provided an opportunity for ministers with
similar career histories to review certain areas of the
teachings and ministry, but also acquire new information on a variety of subjects for professional de-
velopment and personal assistance.
This was the first time I stayed at the Jodo Shinshu Center. I asked for a smoking room with a view.
The room I stayed in was nice, but no TV, phone,
smoking, and no view.
It is amazing how much television influences my
life. I turn on the TV when I get home, and it’s on
whether anyone’s watching or not. I am old enough
to remember as a child we did not have TV. But we
had radios. The radio was always on even though we
were not listening.
The session began with an open exchange with
Socho Ogui on concerns about our respective ministries and the direction of the BCA as a whole. As
you can imagine, issues pertaining to carrying out
the Campaign BCA-21st Century and developing
the Jodo Shinshu Center generated a lot of discusContinued on Page 6

PAGE Seattle Celebrates
75th Bon Odori
By Ann Oxrieder, Ron Hamakawa,
Photo by Sat Ichikawa.
Seattle Betsuin members will mark a chapter in
their memory books after this year’s Bon Odori,
not only for this summer’s outstanding 75th
anniversary celebration, but for the rare July
drizzle that helped kick off the two-day event.
This year’s festival featured a few new elements
while keeping the best of the old.
One of several things that made the event
special was that Washington Governor Christine
Gregoire proclaimed July 21 and 22, Bon Odori
Weekend in honor of the festival’s 75th anniversary. Her proclamation was read to an appreciative
crowd by State Representative Tomiko Santos. A
representative of the Japanese Consulate also read
a congratulatory letter from Consul General
Kazuo Tanaka.
In addition, two dances were premiered. The
first dance, Hibiki, was composed and performed
live by Rev. Koran Okahashi of Osaka. Washington temples have enjoyed dancing to two other
songs by Okahashi Sensei -- Mi Koko Ondo and
Shiawase Samba -- for many years.
The second dance composed and performed
live is called Seattle Omoide by Karen Akada and
Dennis Yamashita with lyricist/musician Byron
AuYong. This quick-paced ondo makes use of the
kachi-kachi and recalls the sticky fingers from yaki
onigiri, memories of Sensei Kiki (Kiki Hagimori
choreographed and taught many of the NW odori.
We observed her Hatsubon this year.) and dancing
with the Seafair Queens & Pirates (A Puget Sound
summer celebration honoring the region’s maritime history).
Making the premier even more special was the
fact that all the lead dancers -- Gwen Florence,
Susanne Umeda, Marianne Harada Wick, Gail
Suzaka, Eileen Tokita and Wanda Miyahara —
had studied as children with the Betsuin’s first
choreographer, Mrs. Fuku Nakatani. Our oldest
dancer, at 91, was Mrs. Helen Yamamoto, who is
the daughter of Nakatani Sensei.
In honor of the occasion, all Betsuin members
received a commemorative tenugui and had an
opportunity to order Seattle Betsuin happi coats
specially made in Japan.
Crowd pleasers returning to this year’s event
were the kendo and judo demonstrations, performances by our own Matsuri Taiko with current
and alumni representatives, scenes from past Bon
Odori festivals artfully arranged by the Temple
Archives Committee, ikebana and mizuhiki
displays, jazz performances in the beer garden, and
of course a wide sampling of traditional foods.
Hot selling items were the niku donburi, yaki
onigiri, teriyaki chicken bento, chicken yakisoba
and barazushi. Children who tested the kori could
be identified by their blue lips.
Now that the pots and pans have been
scrubbed, the receipts counted and bills paid, a
few hundred pairs of feet soaked in Epsom salts,
and the barbecues put back in storage, Bon Odori
organizers and volunteers agree that the rain
showers did not dampen the enthusiasm of the
dancers or the attendees. As always, as important
as the event itself is the bringing together of our
Sangha working in cooperation and camaraderie,
while introducing the greater Seattle community
to Japanese culture and arts and demonstrating the
Buddhist spirit of selfless giving.

uring the L.A. Betsuin Obon festivities,
the BCA Southern District temples recognized Mme. Miyoko Komori for her contribution to the restoration of Obon dancing to its
traditional roots. Komori Sensei was presented with
a Los Angeles City Certificate of Recognition by
Councilwoman Jan Perry. Rev. Masao Kodani, who
spearheaded the tribute, presented Komori Sensei
with a gift from the Southern District.
Komori Sensei had choreographed nine Obon
dances for the Southern District during the 60s and
the 70s. Her unique Japanese folk-style of dance
brought forth a greater number and diversity of
dancers to participate in the Obon dances.
A frequent reaction to her dances is: “Komori
Sensei’s dances have stories so they’re easy to learn and
fun to do.” Due to their popularity, her dances have
been done repeatedly during the past 40 years. As a
tribute to Komori Sensei, her dances were enjoyed
at all the Southern District temples’ during this
2007 Obon season.

Retreat
Report
By Jason Yokoyama, Seattle Betsuin
I am writing to share with you my personal reasons for supporting Campaign BCA - The 21st Century.
When I first received the Campaign letter, I admit that I
was not deeply interested. I made a donation, but not a very
large one. Then my daughter-in-law, who is neither Japanese
nor a Buddhist, told me that she would like Emily, my threeyear-old granddaughter, to attend Dharma school. Of course I
was elated by this and it started me thinking.
I want Emily to learn all about Amida Buddha and become a strong and active Buddhist. Don’t we all want this for
the next generation? That means we will need effective ministers, a strong Buddhist Education Department and stimulating programs that reach out to a larger audience. These are
just a few examples of things that the Jodo Shinshu Center can
provide. It is more than just a beautiful building. It holds the
future of Buddhism in America.
With these thoughts in mind, I urge all of the Buddhist
Women’s Associations districts, chapters, BWA members, Temple members and friends to join me in supporting Campaign
BCA - The 21st Century. And yes, I did increase my donation.
Thank you.

2007 BCA Theme
On the morning of Monday,
July 9, I boarded a plane and headed down to Berkeley to attend the
third BCA YAC Retreat “Threetreat.” I had no idea what to expect, but Travis Suzaka, who went
to last year’s retreat, told me that I
was in for a fun filled week with
numerous services. According to
the sheet of attendees, everyone
was around my age, but from all
over the West Coast, so I was excited to meet people and make
new friends.
When I arrived at the airport I
was greeted by Susan Bottari, cochair of YAC. I also met a few fellow “threetreaters,” Brandon
Yanari (Palo Alto), and Lauren
Hiroshima (Orange County). It
was there I was also introduced to
Rev. Fumiaki Usuki of the West
Los Angeles Buddhist Temple. I
was then taken to the Jodo Shinshu Center where I met the rest of
the threetreaters who I would be
spending the next week with. I
first met Marisa Sanwo (San Fernando Valley) and Keith Sawada,
the other co-chair of YAC. Soon
after I arrived more people began
to pile into the dinning room. David Fukunaga and Ken Yuzuriha,
both from Oregon, were next; followed by Lisa Horikawa (Florin),
Mimi Kameshige (Idaho-Oregon),
and Joe Weissbuch (Enmanji).
Then Ryan Yamaguchi and Nicole
Kawahira from Salinas arrived and
all the threetreaters were present.
I had met Brandon and Sydney
Shiroyama (Palo Alto) before in a
previous visit to California with
the Jr. YBA’s of Salt Lake City and
Ogden, but besides them I knew
nobody. I was also introduced to
Rev. Kodo Umezu, (director of
the CBE), Rev. Harry Bridge
(Lodi), and Rev. Dean Koyama
(Mountain View). Rev. Koyama
was the only person I knew well.
Since I was a good friend with his
son back when he was minister at
the Seattle Betsuin, it was nice to

see him again.
After introductions we were
broken into two groups: Toban A
and Toban B. I was in Toban B
and I soon became friends with
everyone in my group. We then
made toban flags and renamed our
two tobans to: “What Would Socho Do?” and ‘Toballin.’” Then
we all went to sleep waiting what
had to come the next day (or the
same day depending on who went
to sleep when).
The next day started bright
and early at 8am with a service,
which we came accustomed to, as
we had service every morning.
Waking up was probably the hardest thing to do, since we probably
went to bed around 2 a.m. each
morning. For the next few days we
were put back in school, going to
long lectures and many services.
In total we probably went to about
four months of services in that one
week. But, even though lectures
were long and tiring, and we were
required to conduct service, we
learned a lot about Buddhism.
During our week we took a
trip up to UC Berkeley with Rev.
Bridge and went to Jamba Juice,
we went to visit Socho Koshin
Ogui and saw the Stupa at Buddhist Church of San Francisco,
and we met the participants of the
past YAC retreats at Sacramento
Betsuin.
Meeting the past retreaters was
really great and we had a lot of fun
together, especially at Obon. It
was really cool to see all of us together, years one, two and three. I
met a bunch of new people and we
learned a lot of things from our
past retreaters — including the infamous caterpillar.
Even though our week was
long and tough we still had fun,
mainly at night or during those
few free times we had. As a group
we bonded throughout the week
and really became good friends.
I’m sure that most of us remember
our last night together, which was
arguably one of the most fun
nights we had at the JSC, from
practicing the caterpillar out in
the hall, hanging from those metal beams, getting those Styrofoam
planes caught in the wheel of dharma chandelier, or doing acrobatics
and Rev. Umezu’s horse battles in
the lobby. We probably stayed up
until at least 4:30 in the morning
because we said goodbye to the security guard that stays till 4 a.m.
I personally got a lot out of
this retreat. I learned so much
about Buddhism and made some
really great friends. Keith said to
us on the first day that “You’ll get
as much out of this retreat as you
put in, so make it yours” and I
think we really did get what each
of us wanted. When we talked
about why we came to the retreat
most of us said that we wanted to
learn more about Buddhism, and
quite frankly we did learn a lot. I
know this probably sounds corny
but we learned more about ourselves and our capacities whether
it be leading chanting, or ringing
the kansho. I think that overall
this was an amazing experience,
and I’ll never forget my fellow
threetreaters, and I look forward
to seeing all of them at our reunion in January 08.

Born-Again Buddhist Leads Seminar
at Ekoji Buddhist Temple
On March 25, Clark Strand, former
Zen monk, magazine editor, and student of many religious traditions, traveled from his home in Woodstock, New
York to Ekoji Buddhist Temple in Fairfax Station, Virginia, to present a daylong seminar with the theme of Born
Again Buddhism. Strand challenged approximately thirty seminar participants
to bring a new openness of mind and
heart to understanding Jodo Shinshu in
the context of world religions.
At the core of Strand’s exposition of
Shin Buddhism are two factors. One
factor is an insistence that religious realizations are profoundly subjective: their
validity does not depend on describing
them in ordinary language. Because of
this, we should remain flexible in our
understanding and use of religious
terms. Although Strand did not use the
well known metaphor that distinguishes
the moon from the finger that points at
the moon, that metaphor teaches the
same the lesson. We should attend to
our immediate experience rather than
the symbols that evoke the experience.
The second core factor is the recognition that religions all accept some idea
of a “power beyond the self.” Different
descriptions of the “power” distinguish
religions from each other, but those differences are not what matters according
to Strand. What matters, at the heart of
religious experience, is the surrender of
the self to the power beyond the self.
The spiritual transformation arising
within an individual who commits this
act of surrender is exactly “rebirth” as
that term is used in traditions otherwise
as diverse as Christianity and Shin Buddhism. So to be “born again” is to abide
in the consequences of making this surrender authentically.
In our tradition, Shinran said it
best in the opening paragraph of the
Tannisho:
Saved by he inconceivable working
of Amida’s vow, I shall realize birth in
the Pure Land’; the moment you entrust yourself thus, so that the mind set
upon saying the Name arises within
you, you are brought to share in the
benefit of being grasped by Amida, never to be abandoned.” (Tannisho: A Primer. Ryukoku University, 1991, page
22).
If we can accept these two factors as
consistent with our understanding of
Jodo Shinshu, then we can ask how they
fit into our aspiration to bring the nembutsu teaching to Americans who are

T
not now familiar with it. Strand suggested using several tools. I will describe
three of them.
Graft our flowers to local roots.
Strand told a story of a gardener who
grew beautiful roses imported from
around the world, while other local gardeners could not succeed with the foreign rose varieties. When asked for the
secret of his success, the gardener
showed that he had grafted the foreign
varieties onto roots of the local Centennial rose. The local roots were well
adapted to the nutrients in the local soil
and could transmit them to the engrafted plant to support a healthy organism.
So it is in the importing of religions,
Strand said. If we want Jodo Shinshu to
expand beyond the soil of the Japanese
and Japanese-American traditions, we
should find a way to draw sustenance
from the native religious soil of America. Strand argued that this native soil is
the language and moral education of
the Bible. Therefore, he concluded, we
should find ways to connect Shin teachings to the language and moral lessons
of the Old and New Testaments. In his
judgment, this is a natural and appropriate connection.
Use a “kaleidoscope” of terms
from different traditions. In a striking
exercise of expository flexibility, Strand
showed how biblical and Buddhist
terms could be mixed. The purpose of
this exercise was to “get behind” the
surface of the words (“the pointing finger”, as it were) to reach the heart of the
universal religious experience (the
“moon.”). It was probably disconcerting to many seminar participants to
hear “God,” interchanged freely with
“Amida” or “Buddha,” and “prayer” interchanged with “nembutsu,” as if we
had already agreed that these terms were
synonymous. No doubt, this is a controversial appropriation of vocabularies
between diverse religious traditions.
But it is much less controversial if one
accepts that the experience of surrender
to a power beyond the self is identical
from one religion to another and that
arriving at this experience is the goal of
the religious journey. Each seminar participant had the opportunity to work
through the significance of accepting
these ideas for himself or herself.
Participate in partially structured
small group discussions without formal leaders. Seminar participants sat in
small groups to discuss their religious
histories and current connections to
Buddha, dharma, and sangha. No one
was assigned to lead the groups, nor
were the discussion topics firmly fixed.
The groups took the day’s lessons to
heart by trying to apply them to their
own religious histories and share their
experiences with other group members.
The openness of communication within
the groups was itself an example of how
“sangha” can be experienced among
dharma friends who may not know each
other very well outside of the church
context.
Stand’s teaching at Ekoji is an example of how new forms of teaching are
arising to reach diverse audiences
throughout the country. Some will find
such teaching discomforting and controversial, while for others it will open a
door to further thought and wholesome
participation in the life of a sangha. We
need not judge; we can listen deeply, reflect, and be grateful for all such opportunities.

he Institute of Buddhist Studies (IBS) and
the Buddhist Churches of America Center
for Buddhist Education (CBE) co-sponsored a unique program entitled “An Evening of
Buddhist Chanting” on June 9 at the Jodo Shinshu Center in Berkeley.
This event was open to the public and was well
received by all who witnessed almost two hours of
these impressive styles of chanting. Five priests
and laypersons representing the three major respective ways to express their appreciation of the
Dharma.
From our Jodo Shinshu tradition, Rev. Ryusho
Sugiura of the Hongwanji Liturgy Department
demonstrated the formal rituals called ‘Goe Nembutsu Saho,’ ‘Jusei-ge Saho’ and ‘Kan Muryojukyo Saho’ for the first time in the United States.
Bhante Seelawimala representing the Theravada
tradition shared their ways of praising the virtues
of the Buddha. The evening event was concluded
by attendees reciting Loving Kindness Sutra together.
IBS and CBE would like to thank Rev. Harry
Bridge for chairing the program and members of
the Buddhist Church of Oakland Buddhist Women’s Association for preparing the dinner for participants. They would also like to acknowledge the
Nyingma Institute, the American Buddhist Seminary, and Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha for their
participation.
Ekoji Temple visit National JA
Memorial in Washington, D.C.
As a part of their annual Obon observance at the
Washington, D.C. Ekoji Temple, the temple conducted a memorial service at the National Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism in front of
the engraved list of names of the Japanese American military personnel who died in World War II.
This memorial service will be conducted each
Obon to remember those brave Nisei soldiers and
to honor their families for the sacrifices that were
made on all of our behalf.

On Obon:

hree years have
passed since my
mother returned to
the Buddha’s Land, the
Land of Bliss. The more
time that passes, the more I
miss her. Missing her is not
a sense of loss or sadness.
By missing her, I am further deepening my joy. I
am grateful to have had
such a woman who lived
and died admirably as my
mother. The month of
Obon came. I would like to
share my thoughts with you
about her, once more.
She was diagnosed with
cancer in December, 2004.
She chose not to have any
treatment for it. Having a
quickly developing cancer,
she had no physical pain. I
visited her on May 6, 2005,
my birthday. It was my annual practice to call her
from the U.S. on my birthday to tell her, “Thank you,
Mom, for having me in this
world.” This time, I could
say it to her seeing her face.
Lying in the hospital bed,
she looked like her mother,
whose face was like a KwanIn Bodhisattva. Finding me
standing next to her, my
mother was very surprised
and so happy. As if not
wishing to waste any single
minute, we talked a lot.
Then, with sparkling eyes,
she said to me, “I now see
so many Buddhas on the
top of Mt. Himalayas.
Among those Buddhas, one
is Amida Buddha, and I see
the Buddha extends the
brightest ray towards me.”
She then continued, “When
I was younger and healthier, I never could understand
what those bright rays
meant. They meant nothing to me. I didn’t feel anything special about them.
But, now, I see clearly that
the light is for me. Now, I
know that one of those
shining beams is directed
towards me! I clearly know
it, now, only after I became
sick like this.”
A few days later, she
said, “Ma-chan (she used to
call me this)! Amida Buddha came right into my
heart! The Buddha is with
me! When I was young and
healthy, I had dirty mind. I
was greedy, too. But, now,
the Buddha is reaching in
my heart. The Buddha is
telling me that we cannot
live our lives without having dirty and ugly minds,
and that it’s O.K. When
you go back to your temple
in America, please tell your
Dharma friends what I
said.” She kept smiling and
thanking each one of us.
She kept shaking hands
with all those who visited
her. It was magnificent that
she could spend her last few
days in such a way. The rest

Buddhist Poem for You
My beloved one has left, but her gentle smile has not left.
My beloved one has left, but her kind words have not left.
My beloved one has left, but her warm-heart has not left.
My beloved one has left, but she always comes back to my hands of Gassho.
of her time, she kept sleeping quietly.
According to her doctor, however, her physical
condition continued to deteriorate rapidly. In Japan,
families often hesitate to
ask some straight forward
questions to the doctor, but
I did: “How many months
do you think she can live?”
Upon my question, he
frankly answered me as follows: “I am sorry to say but
it won’t be even for several
months. We should think
by weeks. We should think
it would be for several more
weeks. Probably around the
end of May. At the last
stage, she will probably
have internal bleeding. At
that time, she may lose consciousness and may experience discomfort. At that
time, I will give her a small
dosage of morphine.”
My schedule to stay in
Japan was limited. I knew
that I could not be with her
forever. My air ticket said
my departure was May 11.
On that day, I visited her
once more before rushing
to the airport. I held her
hand tightly, rubbed her
feet, kissed her forehead,
and said, “Mom, I won’t
see you again in this life.”
She looked at me, then,
quietly nodded. Then, she
smiled. It was a sad smile.
But, it was a smile of truth.
Rev. Dr. Kenneth Tanaka was the keynote speaker at
the 13th World Federation of Buddhist Women’s
Covention in Honolulu, HI last September. The text
of his speech has been serialized beginning in the
February 2007 issue.
Inter-religious Dialogue
A world-renown theologian Prof. Hans
Küng of Germany has advocated the importance of inter-religious dialogue for
world peace; he claims:
There will be no peace among the nations, without peace among the religions.
And there will be no peace among the religions, without dialogue among religions.
Yes, I agree that dialogue is needed now
more than ever before, for now we live in
greater proximity and in open view of each
other.
Prof. John Hick, another noted theologian, describes this situation with an analogy of an “Alluvial Plain.” Each of the religious traditions has been like a company of
people marching down a long valley, singing their own songs and telling their stories
for centuries.
However, they have been unaware that
over the hill there is another valley of great
company of people marching in the same
direction with their own language, songs,
stories and ideas. And over yet another hill,
another group is marching. They are all
unaware of each other.
But then one day, they all come out
onto the same alluvial plain, created by
PAGE modern global communication and transportation, and see each other and wonder
what to make of one another.
I have personally been involved in inter-religious dialogue over the years. The
most memorable dialogue was the Day of
Prayer for Peace convened by the late Pope
John Paul II in Jan., 2002 at the Italian city
of Assisi, the home to St. Francis,“the man
of peace.”
I was fortunate to attend this gathering
as the academic adviser to Rev. Chikō Iwagami, then the President of the Japanese
Buddhist Federation. At the gathering Rev.
Iwagami articulated the Buddhist teachings, concluding with the well-known
Dhammapada passage:
“Hatred is not overcome by hatred.
Only by non-hatred can hatred be overcome.”
I felt the power and truth of those words
filling the hall and grabbing the undivided
attention of the 200 representatives of the
various religions in attendance. Buddhism
is widely acknowledged as a religion of
peace, so I felt then that Buddhists had to
speak out more often in more such settings.
On the final day, we were able to meet
It was a most solemn moment for both of us. It was
also a moment of powerful
assurance that she was with
the Buddha.
On May 13, I called her
from the U.S. According to
Satomi, my sister-in-law,
her feet and belly were even
more swollen, but she kept
her mind very positive.
Over the phone, she said to
me, clearly and slowly,
“Ma-chan, I am so happy,
so happy, and so happy
(URESHIKUTTE,
URESHIKUTTE,
URESHIKUTTE, SHOUGANAINOYO). Thank you, thank
you, and thank you!” In
this way, she assured her
profoundest joy and thankfulness. But, I did not forget what her doctor had
said, “She may lose consciousness.” With some
courage, I called her. It was
May 20th. I said, “Mom,
don’t ever lose the sight of
Amida Buddha’s Light.”
Then, she immediately responded very crisply, “HAI
(Yes, Madam)!” Wow! I
felt. What a powerful reply!
She sounded like a Japanese
elementary schoolgirl answering her teacher after
being commanded to do
something.
On May 29, she seemed
to have a minor discomfort,
but could eat a small
amount of fruits. When I
called her later again, she
had just woken up from her
deep sleep. She could not
speak easily. She had to stop
often while talking. Her
voice was low and feeble. I
could hardly hear her.
Then, she said, “My body is
becoming weaker and weaker. But, don’t worry. I can
still talk. Thank you, thank
you, thank you.” On the
same day later, when her
doctor visited and asked her
how she was doing, she answered, “Everything is O.
K.! (NANIMO KAMO
IIDESU)” According to Satomi, this was her last word.
On June 2nd, she returned
to the Land of Amida. I
thought she had a magnificent transition. I wished I
could leave here like she
did.
Her life was not easy.
When she was 48, she lost
her husband. She had always been a strong Buddhist, but after that she became even more devoted in
Buddha-Dharma. Her entire life began to be fully focused on Buddha-Dharma.
In front of our large OButsudan in the BuddhaRoom in our house, she
used to do two hours of
chanting every morning
and evening. She was a
book worm and read only
books on Buddhism. She
did O-Shakyo (Handwrit-
the Pope. I shook his hand and said to him,
“By coming to this gathering, I feel I want
to work even harder for peace.” He then
jerked our clasped hands up and then down
onto to his lap, and said something. I could
not understand the Pope’s words because
of the effects of his Parkinson disease, but
his firm grip and gesture seemed to be saying, “Wonderful, now let’s do it!”
These inter-religious dialogues allow us
to get to know others as fellow human beings, especially when humor is involved. A
Catholic Archbishop who sat next to me at
a luncheon asked me to explain the essence
of Buddhism. I told him that we emphasize
“living in the here and now,” and told him
about a humorous cartoon that I once saw.
In it there is a Christian guy carrying a
placard on a street corner that read, “Jesus
is coming.” Then there is an Asian looking
guy, presumably a Buddhist, behind him
smiling and carrying a placard of his own
that read, “Buddha, here now!” The Archbishop just burst out laughing, unbecoming of an Archbishop but very human.
That encouraged me to ask him, “Is
wine optional for Catholic priests,” not

ing Buddhist Sutras with a
brush) whenever she had
time. She visited so many
temples whether in snow or
in rain. She was not a scholar or a specialist on Buddhism, but attended the
world religious conferences
held in the Vatican two
times. She did a pilgrimage
to India more than once.
Before she became a widow,
she never had bought even
a train ticket herself since
my father did everything
for her. But, the power of
Dharma turned her into
such a powerful woman!
She lived a true Buddhist
way of life much more than
myself.
Sometime after my
mother became a widow,
we children encouraged her
to find some hobbies to
participate in, to go to theaters to see plays, to learn
something new, and many
others. But, each time, her
answer was always only one:
“All I want to learn is Buddha-Dharma.
BuddhaDharma is my life.” By the
power of Buddha-Dharma,
she had a greatest life and a
magnificent death. Thank
you, Mother, for teaching
me so much through your
life and death.

wanting to be too blunt about all the wine
they were drinking. Without batting an
eye, he replied, “No, it’s mandatory!”
Well, I returned from that trip, inspired
but convinced that while fancy international gatherings have their place, I felt
that more dialogues were needed at the local, grassroots level.
So, I would like to encourage you, the
members of Buddhist Women’s Assoc. to
dialogue with others. If other religions are
difficult, then you can interact with other
Buddhists or other Jōdo Shinshū groups. I
am sure almost all of you have visited our
mother temple in Kyoto, but I wonder how
many of you have set foot in the main Higashi-Honganji temple, which is located
only a couple of blocks away.
Dialogue helps us to learn about others,
but as importantly, it promotes understanding about your own religion. How
would you respond to a Christian who asks,
“What does Buddha’s Vow mean to you?”

month’s Wheel of Dharma.

Having acclimated to the new location at the
Jodo Shinshu Center, the BCA Bookstore has now
successfully brought a scaled version of the bookstore to local churches during their bazaar/obon
events. In previous years, this outreach has only
been performed at National Council meetings or
selected conferences.
With the modernization of the bookstore—notably, the computerized inventory and wireless
merchant device—the bookstore can now conduct
sales anywhere.
“We will be considering other church events
and venues in the upcoming months,” said Jeffrey
Kimoto, the bookstore’s manager. “Currently, we
are only focusing on local churches as traveling out
of state or more than 200 miles from Berkeley
would not be cost efficient,” he added.
Any church or organization requesting consideration for bookstore outreach should contact the

tional circle. And the Sakamoto
family from the Watsonville temple attended with friends, having
combined other business in Washington with a trip to Ekoji’s celebration. Thank you for coming!
Reverend and Mrs. Shojo
Honda organized two events that
are sure to become traditional at
Ekoji. Rev. Honda conducted a
brief service early in the evening,
to allow interested newcomers to
experience Shinshu chanting and
an opportunity for oshoko. Mrs.
Honda organized the placement
of memorial candles in Ekoji’s
Garden of the Three Treasures.
Attendees could write the name of
a departed loved one on the clear
glass candle holder. The candles
were lighted after dark, and then
Reverend Honda provided an elegant memorial chant. This touching ceremony concluded the Saturday celebration.
Sunday’s Obon service, with
morning light flooding into the
hondo through floor-to-ceiling
windows and large skylight retained its simplicity. The wooden
display board used in 1986 is still
in service. Reverend Honda’s
dharma message emphasized the
continuity of life across generations. And as a special event, the
sangha warmly welcomed Mrs.
Tsuji, who had “come home” to
Ekoji from Foster City, California to celebrate Ekoji’s past, present, and future.
Past, Present, and Future
At first glance, the 2007 Obon
at Ekoji seemed disconnected
from its predecessor in 1986. The
location was different; the event
was more complex; and the attendance was many times greater.
Many of the lay volunteers who
took leading roles have been members at Ekoji for only a few years.
And most of them have come
from outside of the Japanese
American community. Their
knowledge and understanding of
Obon did not begin in childhood
as lessons from parents, grandparents, and dharma school teachers.
Their Jodo Shinshu came as a gift
to them, as it had come to me, as
adults.
Such transitions of lay leadership inevitably affect the form
and content of ritual observance,
particularly in locations where the
Japanese American population is
small. Buddhism has always
adapted to local cultures, and
there is no reason to think that
development in America will be
different.
And yet…change that is uninformed by history and tradition
can be disruptive, with a loss of
important lessons. Tradition will
Ministers’ Seminar
sion
We were very fortunate to
have Dr. Nobuo Haneda of the
Maida Center of Buddhism present his provocative proposal to
develop: “A New Shin Direction
in this country: From the Tannisho to the Kyogyoshinsho.” His
contention is that Yuienbo’s
treatment of Shinran’s thought
presented in the Tannisho, is too
weighted in the traditional Jodoshu orientation regarding the
meaning of “birth” in the Pure
Land. While he acknowledges
that the Tannisho is an inspirational and valuable religious text,
Dr. Haneda asserted that to have
a clearer apprehension of Shinran’s understanding of the Pure
Land teachings must be approached through his original
writing in the Kyogyoshinsho.
It was noted that Dr. Haneda
is still recovering from a recent
liver transplant and other unrelated medical conditions. Nonetheless, his fervor to share his appreciation of Mahayana Buddhist
thought and the Bodhisattva
spirit inspired our group intellectually and spiritually.
Professor Takanori Sugioka
of Ryukoku University, who is
on sabbatical and doing research
at the Graduate Theological
Union, presented a lecture on
the significance of metaphor in
Shinran’s writings. He drew particular attention to Shinran’s use
of the “ocean” metaphor.
We also had a workshop by
KG Ouye and Pauline Mingram.
be healthiest if it is adopted and
adapted by young lay leaders, for
they will be most able to blend
the old with the new in ways that
are attractive to their peers. At
Ekoji, this emerging leadership is
apparent, for example in the work
of Evan Cantwell, Maya Nakamura and Greg Nakamura, who
grew up in Ekoji as children of
founding members. At Obon they
joined other volunteers whose
years at Ekoji ranged from fewer
than three to twenty-six, which is
School of Optometry in the fall.
The scholarship committee
would like to thank all of the donors for their continued support
of the scholarship program at the
Fresno Betsuin Buddhist Temple.
This workshop dealt with how to
work with volunteers. This workshop gave us different views on
how people work together. Another workshop was with Tim J.
Bowser, a financial planner who
handles a number of BCA ministers’ accounts, gave us a lot of information on Retirement Planning.
As I mentioned, the room I
stayed in had no TV and no
phone. I forgot to bring my cell
phone, I left it in Denver. It was
great, no phone for three days. I
did not miss watching TV because the schedule was tight. I
did not read a newspaper for
three days. It is amazing how we
lock ourselves into set routines.
This seminar disrupted my routine, which was a good break for
me. I enjoyed this time to study
the Dharma and expand my
knowledge with friends.
I don’t think I could have
continued with that situation for
more than a few weeks. Three
days was just right for me. I am
happy to get back to my routine.
I would like to express deep gratitude to Professors Haneda and
Sugioka, and workshop speakers.
Thank you to Mr. Glenn Kameda and his staff for putting up
with us for three days. Thank
you to Rev. Umezu for an excellent program. Thank you to Socho Ogui and Mrs. Ogui for a
wonderful and enjoyable dinner.
I am looking forward to the next

the entire spectrum of the temple’s lifetime. Preparing for Obon
was itself a practice: a practice of
growing the strength and integrity of the sangha.
Continuity of lay leadership is
a symptom of a healthy temple.
Obon is a particularly appropriate
time to reflect on such continuity.
Obon teaches us, who are always
stationed in the present, to honor
the past for the sake of the future.
