Rev. Barbara Brennan
Dharma Service for Sunday, September 3, 2023 with a Dharma Talk by Rev. Barbara Brennan at Windward Buddhist Temple. The service was officiated by Rev. Brennan at Windward Buddhist Temple in Kailua, Hawaii. For today's intergenerational service, Rev. Brennan shared the book, "Happy Hippo, Angry Duck; A Book of Moods" by Sandra Boynton (https://amzn.to/3R7JcbB).
Like most of the world, we watched in shock and horror as wildfires brought death and devastation to the island of Maui, including much of the historic town of Lahaina.
In the spirit of compassionate action, Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii has established the Maui Wildfire Disaster Relief Fund. You can support this fund through the following GoFundMe link: https://gofund.me/ff77a520
WBT President Dennis Tashiro announced that WBT will be donating the net proceeds from WBT's booth at the upcoming Windward Mall Bon Dance to the Maui Wildfire Disaster Relief Fund.
