Shirley Yanagisawa
Dharma Service for Sunday, January 12, 2025 with a Dharma Talk by Shirley Yanagisawa. This Jodo Shinshu Buddhist service was officiated by Certified Minister Lay Assistant (CMLA) Prudence Kusano. Shirley shares the book "How to Be a Hero: From A to Z" by Lynn Daue and illustrated by John O'Neill.
