Eitaikyo Service

Rev. Barbara Brennan, Rev. Kojun Hashimoto, & Rev. Bert Sumikawa

Eitaikyo Dharma Service for Sunday, November 13, 2022 with a Dharma Talk by Rev. Kojun Hashimoto, "Will Listening to Buddhism Make You Happy?" at Windward Buddhist Temple. This Jodo Shinshu Buddhist church service was recorded at Windward Buddhist Temple, a Shin Buddhist Temple in Kailua, Hawaii.

Rev. Kojun Hashimoto is the resident minister at Wahiawa Hongwanji Mission. He hails from Shiga Prefecture in Japan and has held previous assignments at Hawaii Betsuin on Oahu and West Kauai Hongwanji on Kauai.

Etaikyo is a special service where we remember all those who came before us at our temple who have helped to propagate the Dharma, and, in doing so, have ensured that others are able to do so in the future as well.
