Minister Appreciation Dharma Service for Sunday, October 11, 2026 with a Dharma Talk by Prudence Kusano. This Jodo Shinshu Buddhist service was officiated by Dennis Tashiro, temple president and Certified Minister’s Lay Assistant. Prudence shared the story, "If You Plant a Seed" by Kadir Nelson.
As part of our Minister Appreciation Service, all aspects of today's service were handled by temple members. We asked Rev. Shingo Furusawa to be here today as our guest so that we can express our appreciation for his being our Liaison Minister and his assistance with our temple's ministerial needs.
