HELLO!
How have you been? The fall season has arrived in Hawaii and it is getting cooler day by day. Please take care of yourself.
This is the month of Oeshiki. Here are this month's announcements.

OESHIKI SERVICE ON OCTOBER 8
Oeshiki Service will be held on Sunday, October 8 from 10:00 a.m.
Oeshiki Service is a memorial service for Nichiren Shonin, our Founder. This will be his 725th memorial service. In 1282, Nichiren Shonin became ill and left Minobu in order to find a cure for his ailment at the hot springs in the province of Hitachi, the present Ibaraki Pref. On September 18, on his way to Hitachi, he arrived at Ikegami in Tokyo. He became critically ill and passed away there on October 13.
Oeshiki is one of the most important of all services at our Temple. During the service, as Nichiren Shu followers, let's reflect upon Nichiren Shonin's contributions to the world and their significance in our daily activities. Please wear your "Gyo-e".
