Prudence Kusano & Rev. Barbara Brennan
Dharma Service for Sunday, July 21, 2024 with a Dharma Talk, "Generosity, Attachment, & So Much More" by WBT lay speaker and board member, Prudence Kusano. This Jodo Shinshu Buddhist church service was officiated by Rev. Barbara Brennan and Rev. Bert Sumikawa and recorded at Windward Buddhist Temple, a Shin Buddhism Temple in Kailua, Hawaii.
Mahalo (thank you) to all those who came out to our Bon Dance on Saturday, July 13. We didn't have service on July 14, as it was a temple clean-up day after the Bon Dance. A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped with setting up the yagura, stringing up the lights and chochin lanterns, donating ingredients and preparing all the food for the Food Concession, baking manju, prepapring bitter melon and takuan and more, setting up audio equipment, and taking everything down after Bon Dance.
