HCJM Bishop’s Message

 

Today, we gather to celebrate two remarkable anniversaries: the 850th anniversary of the founding of the Jodo sect of Buddhism and the commemoration of the arrival of the first Jodo Shu ministers in Hawaii 130 years ago. I would like to express my sincerest aloha and gratitude to Archbishop Kokyo Kawanaka, secretary general of Jodo Shu, ministers, members, and guests of Hawaii Jodo Shu. 

 

In 1175, Honen Shonin founded Jodo Shu and brought about a revolutionary shift in Buddhism from being centered on "enlightenment" to focusing on "salvation." This foundation can be seen as a revolution.  Transforming Buddhism from the elite pursuit of enlightening the individual practitioner, to a teaching that is accessible to all. At the heart of this discovery was Honen Shonin's reflection and realization of being a "fool." We often find ourselves preoccupied with comparing ourselves to others, oscillating between joy and despair in our judgments. However, Honen Shonin taught that rather than comparing ourselves to others, the awareness of our foolishness is the foundation of happiness and the path to salvation for all.

 

Recognizing our own foolish nature is comparable to Socrates' idea of "knowing one's ignorance" and in the famous slogan "Stay foolish," attributed to Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple. It is precisely because we are foolish that growth and development are possible, and it is through this foolishness that we can cultivate compassion and tolerance toward others. It is also our foolishness that allows us to learn and be saved by Amida Buddha’s teachings.

 

Undoubtedly, the world today is vastly different from 850 years ago and 130 years ago. There are also significant cultural and customary differences between Japan and Hawaii. Nevertheless, human desires remain deep and vast, both then and now.  Causing us to be easily misled and suffer so much, regardless of whether we are in the East or West. This is why the teachings of Buddhism are relevant today, and Honen Shonin's message of "salvation" continues to shine with the practice of Nembutsu.

 

In this commemorative year, I would like to once again extend my respect and gratitude to all those who have dedicated themselves to sharing the teachings of the Nembutsu with the people in Hawaii, and to the many pioneers who supported temple activities. Among them, I would particularly like to honor Reverend Gensho Hara of Lahaina Jodo Mission, who has served since 1963 alongside his wife, Mrs. Setsuko, contributing over 60 years of spiritual services and greatly impacting Hawaiian society. I express my gratitude for their contributions and sincerely request your continued support and encouragement for the rebuilding of Lahaina Jodo Mission.

Sermon: Rev. Myoko Takano

 

Aloha!  I hope this finds you in the good health and spirits.  Finally a new minister arrived at Jodo Mission of Hawaii on October 22nd.  His name is Rev. Takaaki Koken Tanabe from Kanagawa Prefecture.  He is 26 years old.  This made it possible to send a minister to Kauai but because of their limited visa I cannot assign a minister to stay on Kauai for a longer period.   Therefore one of our ministers of Betsuin comes to stay at Kapaa for about a month by turn starting from November.   

 

Right now, Rev. Myoko Takano who came to Hawaii in July 2019 is staying at Kapaa Jodo Mission and will come to Koloa Jodo Mission to officiate this Ojuya Service on Sunday, November 21, 2021 at 10:30 am.  

 

Please come to attend this service and meet Rev. Takano.  Rev. Takano will help me to officiate Kauai Buddhist Council's Virtual Bodhi Day Service which will be released on our KBC YouTube Channel on December 5th.

 

Also upon your request, he will officiate services and blessings including memorial service.  Please welcome him and feel free to contact him for services.  His phone number is 808-940-5531.  He will stay at Kapaa by December 5th and then our new minister Rev. Takaaki Tanabe will be coming to Kauai till January 5th.

 

Gassho,

Kosen Ishikawa

Aloha members and friends,

 

I hope this finds you well.  I've been quarantined after coming back from Oahu since August 24 and all services will be conducted via internet for the time being.  I'm sorry for your inconvenience but I'll keep uploading various videos including LIVE Sunday Service so that you won't get bored. 

 

Now I'm working on a Virtual Toro Nagashi or Online floating lantern ceremony which will be broadcasted on Monday, September 7th at 6:00pm.  I'll dedicate virtual lanterns on behalf of our members and friends who have participated in our Toro Nagashi before.  No entry, no registration and no donation are necessary.   I don't know how far back I could go and how names I could pick up but I'll try to pray for as many people as possible.  If you have somebody to be included in the lanterns, please feel free to email me or send a message.   

 

Although we decided to discontinue our traditional Toro Nagashi for good at Kukuiula Boat Harbor, this may be great start of new tradition.  Please be safe and be well.   I hope you could participate in our LIVE Sunday Service today at 10:30 am.   Namu Amida Butsu.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic,  we have changed our planning and schedule as follows.  

 

1. Bon Dance was cancelled and Bon Service was put off.

2. Bon Service (In-person) with Hatsubon Service will be held on Sunday, July 19th at 10:30 a.m.  There will be no O-Toba and no Toro lantern.   Please let Sensei know deceased names  if you wish to offer prayer. 

         Donation will be accepted.　

         Those who wish to participate in the service,

         please reserve your seats.  Please wear a Face mask and

         keep social distancing.  If you are sick, please stay home.

3.      Virtual Live streaming Bon Service/Dance will be held on

         Sunday, July 19th at 7:00pm.

         (Or You can find under Kosen Ishikawa’s YouTube)

 

4. If you wish to have a private Bon Service or memorial Service, please let Sensei know.

I regret to inform you that we decided to cancel 2020 Jodo Shu Japan Tour in October due to Covid-19.  As you may assume it, there was no application at all by the end of May but in case you paid application fee to Kinetetsu this month, please let me know as soon as possible.  All the deposit should be returned to you with no penalty fee. 

 

Although interisland flight without 14 days quarantine will resume in June 16, international travel is still uncertain.  In addition, Young Ministers’ Association in Japan decided to postpone their event to have fellowship with us at Chionin Temple. Therefore, we cancelled this entire tour at this time and decided to plan another tour after pandemic is over.

 

Thank you very much for your understanding. I pray for your good health and safety.

 

Gassho,  

 

Kosen Ishikawa

 

P.S.

If quarantine restrictions between Hawaii and Japan are lifted and if you are still interested in going to Japan, please let me know.  As I am expecting to attend Bishops’ meeting in Kyoto in October, I can help arrange your trip.

 

 

In accordance with the State of Hawaii & the County of Kauai's "Safer-at-home" order, our temple is reopened for our members.

 

We will restart in-person Special Services with your Kokua to practice social distancing, washing hands often and wearing a face-mask in the future.  We will continue to offer our Virtual Buddhist Services through Youtube.  Please check here.   

 

Also PDF file of our "Otsutome Book" is now available to download.
