Rev. Bert Sumikawa
Remembrance Dharma Service for Sunday, May 25, 2025 with a Dharma Talk by Rev. Bert Sumikawa. This Jodo Shinshu Buddhist service was officiated by Rev. Sumikawa.
Mahalo for your patience in posting this service. In addition to the delay, we also had unforeseen technical difficulties with the primary audio recording, so the audio is not as clear as our other videos.
The monthly Remembrance Service is a time to honor family, friends, and even pets who passed away during the month of May, regardless of the year. This Jodo Shinshu Buddhist church service was recorded at Windward Buddhist Temple, a Shin Buddhist Temple in Kailua, Hawaii.
