Vow #36
The start line is its goal line.
My struggle is so-called as “sacred practices” in this vow.
“If, when I attain Buddhahood, sentient beings in the immeasurable and inconceivable
Buddha-lands of the ten directions, who have heard my Name, should not, after the end
of their lives, always perform sacred practices until they reach Buddhahood, may I not
attain perfect Enlightenment.”
Word:
Buddha-lands: Places we can hear Dharma. This world is the land of Shakyamuni
Buddha.
My Name:
The Name belongs to Immeasurable Working and works as the key to
open up Amida’s World.
After the end of their lives: Although this sound like everything begins after our death,
the original Sanskrit sutra (Vow #36) goes as follows: after sentient beings
have heard my Name, they perform sacred practices(learning) until they
reach the true essence of Buddhahood, …….
Sacred practices: Struggle. After we hear the Name, we learn and train until we reach
the essence of the Name. Mainly, “sacred practices” indicates a period
of listening and learning until we reach Buddhahood.
Thus, the vow #36 goes like this:
“Beings in Buddha-lands, after they have heard my Name, they perform sacred practices
until they reach the true essence of Buddhahood. (It is because Amida’s World is made to
work so.)”
I appreciate this vow very much because it reflects my path of the last 45 years. When I
read this vow, I was very happy to find me in the vow. My path began as follows: When I
heard the Name (Namo-Amida-Butsu) — many doubts and questions came to my mind -- I
tried to solve them one by one —- it took a long time but I did not give up Amida’s
Teaching — finally, I reached the true essence of the Name. Oh, I am already in there!
Or, have you ever had the following questions? If so, you are on the right track.
“What kind of Teaching is this?” “Is Nembutsu alone good enough?” “Nembutsu sounds
superstitious.” “It’s too good to be true! I doubt it!” “I should know its true meaning of
Namo-Amida-Butsu before I recite because I hate blind faith.”
It’s not necessary to set the mind to seek before we listen to Amida’s Teaching, because
Amida’s Teaching sets the mind to seek in me. Therefore, after a person hears the Name in
the Teaching, the Name itself pulls the person into the true essence of Buddhahood.
Amida’s World is made to work so.

Monthly Salutations
from Rev. Diana Thompson
Hello everyone, welcome to December! We have
officially come to the end of another year and, as we
all know, this time of year is a time of reflection. In
early December we observe Bodhi Day which is the
commemoration of the day on which Prince
Siddhartha attained enlightenment and became the
Buddha or Awakened One. In late December (the
very last day to be exact), we observe Joya-e or the
‘last night gathering’. Both observances have to do
with reflection, specifically reflection on our own
personal past, present and future, and while all
aspects are important, it is especially important to
focus on the future.
When Siddhartha sat beneath the Bodhi tree, he did
so in order to find a way to free himself from the
suffering or dis-ease experienced by all beings. As he
sat in meditation, he began to examine all aspects of
himself, from the physical to the mental, trying to
discover what, if anything, was truly real. He
examined his past lives, and his present state and
then, on December 8th, just as the sun was beginning
to rise, Siddhartha rose from his seat having finally
found the Truths he was looking for; the Truth that all
things are impermanent and the Truth that all things
are interconnected. He promptly left the spot he had
been seated in and took off to share what he had
found so that all who were suffering could partake in
the profound sense of well-being that he
experienced. He taught these truths to all whom he
encountered with the wish that not only would the
people in his time be freed from suffering but that
those people would teach others and therefore
ensure that all those in the future could benefit from
them as well.
On Joya-e, we are taking the time to look at the past
year. What did we do? Who did we meet? Who did
we lose? How did all of these events and people
influence us and how can we use these experiences

RE: Bodhi Day Service
to help us in the year ahead? By contemplating our
pasts and presents we can encounter the Truths of
impermanence and interdependence and, like the
Buddha, use this knowledge to help ourselves and
others move forward towards Great Wisdom and
Compassion.
When we examine ourselves, we are invited to look
at the good, bad and everything in between because
all of these are part of who we are. If we look at all
aspects, we begin to realize how all things change.
We are not the same person from year to year or
even moment to moment and all the ‘good’, ‘bad’
and ‘in between’ parts of ourselves are fleeting. This
holds true for everyone. All of us are comprised of
many different pieces that shift and change and all of
these pieces make up who we are at any given
moment. But we did not create them all by
ourselves. Many people and things come and go
throughout our lives and have come and gone well
before we existed and all have had varying degrees
of influence on us. Knowing that we are all linked to
each other will hopefully lead us to a desire to keep
our own links ‘bright and strong’ but to also help
others to keep theirs in the same condition.
And so as we look ahead to the new year we must
begin by ‘cleaning house.’ Clear out any clutter that
may be keeping you from moving forward and
organize the things you wish to keep so that you can
easily find and use them when they are needed. Ask
for and accept help if the mess becomes too
overwhelming and offer help to others when you see
them struggling. Be willing to go into new places and
meet new people, stepping into all situations with
fearless resolve. You don’t have to like everything or
everyone, but each encounter will help you to see
and understand the world more clearly and will help
us all to get ever closer to the great realm of
Wisdom/Compassion that is the Pure Land.

水不足
先日古い知り合いが会いに来てくれた。その人いわく「先生、あの人を覚えて
いるでしょう。大きな農業をしてた人ですよ。ところが今年で農業をやめたんで
すよ」と。「高齢で？」と問うと、「そうではないんです。今、カリフォルニア
はひどい水不足で、農業用に水が十分にないからですよ」と。加州は水不足だ。
それで思い出した記事があった。中国では米の代わりに「ジャガイモ」を食べ
ろと政府が言い出した。コメの生産には多量の水がいる。米１トンを生産するに
は 2650 トンの水が要る。中国では将来、米を生産するほどの多量の水を確保で
きない。そこで米よりもはるかに少量の水で生産できる「イモ」を食べろと政府
が国民にすすめた、という記事だった。将来の中国は大変な水不足になるらしい。
水の事情についてはインターネットを使えば簡単に調べられる。例えば、世界
の 98%は海水、2％が淡水でそのほとんどが南極と北極の氷の中にあり、私たち
が生活に使えるのは水全体のわずか 0.01％。ところが世界では安全な水を飲めな
い子供が毎日 4900 人（年間で 180 万人）死ぬ。世界で安全な水を口にできるの
は、わずか 15 ヵ国のみ。人口増加にともない淡水の 70%が農業用に、22%が工
業用に、そして生活用水はたったの 8%。世界の水不足は深刻なのである。
ご承知のように私たちの体は約 8 割前後が水分でできている。そんな体を維持
するのに一日に２リットルの水が要る。よく高齢者が救急車で病院に担ぎこまれ、
病院で医者に「水を飲みなさい」と言われて返される。ついつい水を飲むのを忘
れてしまうからである。人体の水不足も深刻な問題を引き起こすのである。
仏法には「水」という言葉がよく出てくる。両方に使い、大量の汚れた水は煩
悩にたとえられる。何もかも押し流し破壊する恐ろしい力にたとえられる。片や
「水」は柔らかいものであるが、堅い岩をも少しづつうがつ場合には、水は法
（真実）にたとえられる。強情な自我を抱えている者が仏法を聴く。その頑固者
が法をききつづけると、柔らかい法水によって堅い自我に穴があき、広い世界が
開ける例に用いられる。人間の心にも法水不足は一生涯たたるることになる。
では、法（ダルマ）とはどのように私に働くのだろうか。よく耳にする言葉に
「ホトケ様が救ってくれる」と。「仏が救ってくれる」とはどういう意味なのだ
ろうか。「救う」とはホトケ様が私に真実を与え、智慧の眼を開いてくれると言
えるが、どうもよく分からない。そこで親鸞聖人にきいてみると、仏様は私を仏
様と同じにしてくれるという。例えば、河・川の水は大海に注がれる。川にある
水はそれぞれ違う。泥だらけの水、汚染された水、清い水と多種多様だが、ひと
たび大海に流れ入れば、どのような水も大海の大きな働きにより、差別・区別な
しに一味の同じ海水となる。法を聴き続ければ「法になる」のである。法水は聞
き続けねばならない。人生での法水不足はこの世の一大事なのである。「虚しく
すぐる人生」では勿体ないではないか。

Dharma School
Happenings!
Thank you to all who made Akimatsuri so
special including the many contributions from
our students and staff of the Dharma School. And,
as always, thank you, Sue Yoshimura, for hosting
the treat share circle. The kids always love it.
Don’t forget to listen during service
announcements regarding ordering Mochi, and
other holiday celebrations.
Students have many ways of giving back to the
temple and one way is to oshoko as a student
representative of Dharma School. If this is
something that you’d like to do, please let Amy or
Sara know.
As 2016 draws to an end, we’d like to extend a
gracious thank you to the families and students
that make Dharma school so special. We look
forward to a wonderful 2017 with you all.

Thank you to the following people who comprised
last month’s newsletter folding crew: Joyce
Mizunaga, Alley & Yoshimi Watada, Richard
Yoshida, Dora Shibata, Shirley Tsuchimoto, Judy
Smith, Lorraine Hisamoto, Kay Takahashi, Michi
Kawakami, Mabel Googins and Mike Shibata.
In thanking these specific individuals for a
singular task, I am also extending a broad thank
you to all persons who have ever performed an
act of dana for the Temple. . . .whether it be
straightening a row of chairs, washing dishes
after Bake Sale, teaching a Dharma class,
accompanying someone to service, sweeping the
stairs, donating a ream of paper, fixing a
computer connection, etc. . . . your efforts are
always appreciated and the Temple exists
because of you.
2016 has been a year of Great Effort – in
preparing for and carrying out activities related
to our 100th Anniversary year, we (individually
and collectively) witnessed interdependence and
Golden Chain in action. Our volunteer pool was
expanded and the benefits of many 100 Year
efforts will last beyond the celebration. The
Temple has been cleaned, showcased,
(re)defined and energized.
Volunteers envisioned a Nokotsudo and now it
has been completed and dedicated. A new sound
system gives the Ministers an extended range for
spreading the Dharma. Collaborative
communication between Sakura Square and
Temple volunteers have provided Sangha
members with free parking.
We are, indeed, a fortunate Sangha.
