Rev. Dr. Bert Sumikawa
Online Monthly Remembrance Day Dharma Service for Sunday, January 23, 2022 with Rev. Dr. Bert Sumikawa at Windward Buddhist Temple. Rev. Sumikawa's Dharma message is a discussion of why we chant Sutras, sing Gathas, and practice rituals.
Remembrance Day is a time to honor family, friends, and even pets who passed away during the month of January, regardless of the year.
We have resumed in-person Sunday Dharma Services at the temple. You must be fully vaccinated and present your vaccination card and a picture ID prior to entering the temple.
