Dharma Service for Sunday, November 9, 2025 with a Dharma Talk by Neil Yamamoto. This Jodo Shinshu Buddhist service was officiated by Rev. Charlene Kihara of Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin. Continuing his "Foodie-Dharma" series, Neil's Dharma Talk was titled, "To Be Grateful & Thankful." We also recognized our veterans in our sangha, as Veterans Day will be on November 11.
