However, having said that, it is also important to
realize that others are looking at us as models,
observing how we exemplify the Dharma in our lives
even in the case of a bonbu. A well-known saying, if
I may paraphrase, says thousands of people may live
in a community, but it is not a true community until
everyone knows each other and has empathy for one
another. Such a community has faith and wisdom
that illuminate it. It is a place where people know
and trust one another and where there is harmony.
In his book, The Buddha’s Wish for the World,,
Gomonshu Koshin Ohtani restates in part a saying by
Prince Shotoku in the following way, “The Three
Treasures are the Buddha, his Teaching, and the

As members of the Sangha we support each
other in our understanding of the Dharma and
especially the Primal Vow of Amida Buddha. The
purpose of a Sangha is that each member of the
Sangha helps and is being helped by fellow members
of the Sangha. The Sangha is not merely a social
organization, only a charitable organization or
simply bound by a common interest. Its primary
purpose, reason for existence, is to provide support
to one another in our quest for enlightenment guided
by the Buddha-Dharma. The Sangha is a spiritual
organization. This was the essence of the “Ko” or
religious groups formed by Rennyo Shonin. The
people formed these “Ko” to discuss the Nembutsu
Teachings to gain a deeper awareness and
appreciation of it.

community that gathers to listen and live by the
teachings of the Buddha. To live and let live is, in
the final analysis, the highest form of religion for
any nation. No matter the era or person, there is
none who does not respect the Buddhist teachings.
The wicked among men are not many. If properly
taught, they can learn to follow the teachings.”
Gomonshu Koshin Ohtani continues “In order
to hear the voice of the Buddha calling you, it is
important that you strain the ears of the heart to
catch the sounds that you usually do not hear. By
doing so, you are able to hear the wish that the
Buddha places on you… This experience is what
Jodo Shinshu calls, “listening with the ears of the
heart.”
“In the past, Buddhism was thought to teach
that if a person piled up effort, it was possible for
the person to become a Buddha.” “Honen Shonin’s
teaching overturned the conventional Buddhist
thinking…” It was not that a person piled up efforts
to become a buddha, it was rather a wish coming
from the Buddha toward man, which asked “How
can I make a Buddha out of you?” –Shinran Shonin
believed this was true Buddhism.
This, then, is the Vow, or wish of the Buddha.”
“Amida Buddha established his…48 Vows. The
18th of those vows is one in which the Buddha vows
to save all living things. This is known as Amida’s
Primal Vow.” “Amida Buddha is saying, “When I
become a buddha, people everywhere will, with
believing hearts, wish to be born in my Land,
though saying the Nembutsu as few as ten times, and
if they are not born, may I never proceed onward to
enlightenment.”“This is the Buddha’s deepest
wish.”
In 2010, please join us for Sunday Morning
Dharma Services to hear more about the
compassionate wish of Amida Buddha. Namo
Amida Butsu.

Wish for the World is available at the Temple for

Movie: THE GATE: A TRUE STORY
Please
join us on Sunday, March 7th at 11:00 AM - 1:30
PM in the Moiliili Hongwanji main temple hall as
we view The Gate: A True Story, a documentary by
Matt Taylor on a Buddhist Pilgrimage for Peace and
Humanity. This film was produced in 2006 during
the 50th observance of the Atomic bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Three Buddhist monks
traveled by foot 1600 miles in 25 days from San
Francisco, California to Trinity, New Mexico to
return an ember from that Atomic Blast back to the
site of its origin. What can we learn by this action
of “full circle?” Everyone is invited. Please RSVP
to the temple office at 949-1659.
Spring Seminar: Moiliili Hongwanji’s Spring
Seminar on Saturday, March 13th from 8:30 AM 1:00 PM will feature two guest speakers, Rev.

volunteer caregiving to the next generation.
Government agencies have outreach programs but
it is often challenging for them to penetrate the
diversity of cultural systems… that is why programs
like Project Dana are so essential and valuable… it
is time to recommit ourselves and continue in the
Spirit of Dana, making it a household word for
encouragement and compassion for others.”
Devoted volunteers, Betsy, Harumi and Harold
spoke about how much they received by helping
others. Each one touched us as they naturally
spoke compassionately about their Dana in action.
All three recipients expressed much gratitude for
the loving friendships and services received from
their respective Project Dana volunteers. Mahalo to
all volunteers.
NEW PROJECT DANA WEBSITE
Project Dana now has a website

the website for information about Project Dana.
21ST VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION SERVICE
Project Dana at Moiliili Hongwanji observed
its 21st Volunteer Appreciation Service on Sunday,
January 31. It was a special service to honor all
volunteers and welcome new volunteers who
began their Dana in 2009. The new volunteers
were recognized with kukui nut leis and
certificates.
Speakers were Rev. Eric Matsumoto, Advisory
Council Chair Mrs. Shimeji Kanazawa, three
devoted volunteers, namely, Betsy Nishioka,
Harumi Suzuki and Harold Kuwahara, and three
Project Dana recipients. They were outstanding
and “touched” our hearts and minds.
Rev. Eric Matsumoto spoke on the essence of
Dana or Selfless Giving. His insightful message
centered on three significant points, emphasizing
interdependence, inevitability of aging or growing
old, and gratitude. He concluded by saying “It is
realizing how interdependent we are and from that
realization help others and allow ourselves to be
helped by others without feeling ashamed or
inferior or a burden. It is about joyfully and
selflessly giving and joyfully and freely receiving
as we continue to make a difference in each
other’s life. This is interdependence and as far as
growing old is concerned, it is okay to do so is the
insight that Dharma shares with us.” (Rev.
Matsumoto’s message is available in full at Project
Dana upon request by calling 945-3736).
Founder of Project Dana and Advisory
Council Chair, Mrs. Kanazawa thanked everyone,
volunteers and supporters, for making the 20th
Anniversary celebration a meaningful and
successful event on October 24, 2009. She
reiterated that “we have been made increasingly
aware of the universality of frailty and aging and
wish to pass on the values and selflessness of

FALL PREVENTION AND HOME SAFETY
People are living longer today. Twenty-five
percent of Hawaii’s population in ten years will be
65 years of age and older. As we age our goal is to
be able to live our final years independently in our
own homes. One of our main concerns should be
fall prevention and home safety. One-third of
elders age 65 and older will fall each year. Falls
are the leading cause of fatal injuries (36% of the
total) and injury related hospitalizations (79%)
among Hawaii residents age 65 and older. Among
Hawaii seniors hospitalized for a fall, 34% are
discharged to a skilled nursing facility for
additional care, and another 11% are moved to a
rehabilitation facility.
Many believe that falls are inevitable, but the
fact is that 30% to 40% are preventable. The first
step is do an assessment of your situation. Seek
information for improvement in the following
areas:
Medical and Health Issues
Home Environment Concerns
Use of Assistive Devices
Social Interaction Opportunities
Support Agencies Available
Don’t know where to start? Call Project Dana

from Hawaii Community Foundation to assist those
with needing assistive devices for Home Safety and
Fall Prevention.

Willows’ famous shrimp curry, Chinese style
mahimahi and BBQ chicken kabayaki. The choice
of fruits and array of delicious desserts were so
scrumptious that people were seen going up for
seconds and thirds. Everyone was serenaded by
Ernie Morikubo and his group. What a wonderful
way to enjoy a lunch!
Entertainment by Dharma School students
singing “Arigatai” in sign language was a delight. It
was choreographed by Tamayo Matsumoto. A
special ukulele virtuoso, Kirk Shimabukuro,
performed “Last Dance,” “Thriller,” “Annon”, and
“Orange Blossom”. It was fantastic to hear a
product of the Hongwanji perform with such talent!
Hana Hou!
Krystal and Jock Narusaki were in charge of
the games that followed! Everyone, young and old,
participated in games that were fun for all. Much to
the delight of the crowd, door prizes, some donated
by neighborhood businesses, filled the prize table.
Many individuals also made generous contributions.
Beautiful centerpieces put together by Ruth
Takemoto and Noriyo Morikubo, adorned the tables.
Pictures of a tiger, drawn by talented Rev. Earl
Ikeda of Puna Hongwanji, were turned into a
lantern, with a vase and votive candle. Fortune
cookies, complete with Buddhist sayings, were
scattered around the centerpieces. The favors were
put together by Emma Kie and Cynthia Ogasawara.
Any event must have people behind the scenes
doing the planning and leg work. Many thanks go
to other members of the committee Donna Higashi,
Ethel Shintaku, Renee Sakata, Anne Kawabata, and
Yuka Ishida, with Mel Takemoto, Alex Shanklin, and
Hudson Fukuki assisting with parking.
Let’s continue to attend family events for
members and friends as a temple can only be
sustained by its supporters and followers. We hope
to see you at next year’s Shinnenenkai!

HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Are you keeping up with your resolutions for
good health? Wonderful! Did you get your H1N1
flu shots yet? They are available now for all age
groups.
An often asked question: "Do I have to repeat a
pneumonia vaccine each year like I do the flu
vaccine?" Answer: No, if you received your vaccine
at age 65 or older. If you received the vaccine at an
earlier age due to chronic illness such as heart, lung,
kidney disease, diabetes, or weakened immune
system, or if you are a smoker, you may benefit
from a booster shot, (if you received the vaccine 5
or more years ago). Please check with your
doctor. It is wise to keep a record of all
vaccinations (regular flu, H1N1 flu, pneumonia,
tetanus, etc. and the dates received), to take with
you when you see your doctor. And, be aware that
there may be new vaccines; so be aware.

Flu" and "Swine Flu:" For "Bird Flu," you need

Miyasaki family for the healthy fruit and vegetable
platters. Other food donations were also appreciated.
The last batch of mochi was reserved to make
small balls for the following week’s Hoonko service
refreshments. The BWA members would later
prepare zenzai (azuki beans and mochi) and soba for
Sunday service attendees and for delivery to several
homebound members. It was good to work
cooperatively.

We would like to thank everyone who has
donated to our Project Dana paper goods drive. We
are continuing to collect paper goods and combine our
donations with the United Jr. YBA of Honolulu. We
are still looking for toilet paper, facial tissue, paper
towels, plates, utensils, etc. to donate to Project Dana
who then distributes the items among their recipients.
We would also like to thank everyone who has
submitted an article for our cookbook. We are still
looking for recipes—particularly pupus, main dishes,
and baked goods. We are asking for recipes to be
submitted by April 30, 2010 in order to make our
May publishing deadline. We hope to see many
people make submissions so we can have a wide
variety of temple members represented in our
cookbook.
And lastly, the Jr. YBA will be hosting the
March 7 service and coffee hour. Our speaker will
be Robert Omura who is the 2010 YESS Camp
chairperson and an aspiring film maker. His recent
short film “Dog & Cat” was an official selection of
the Hawaii International Film Festival. We hope you
will come to service on March 7 to listen to our
interesting speaker.

For our upcoming activities in March we will be
going to the Bishop Museum Presents CIRCUS!
SCIENCE UNDER THE BIG TOP. The children
will be able to test their balancing skills. A walk on
a High-Wire, Creative Costume Play! and bend your
body like a contortionist! We will also be celebrating
Girl's Day and Saint Patrick's Day. And we have our
Spring Break from March 15-19.
We also celebrated Chinese New Year with the
Gee Yung Association which came and put on a great
performance with not one but two beautiful yellow
lions. The children and Mrs. Wendy put the li-see
into the lion’s mouth for good luck. And on January
30 the teachers and aides came to school for our
First Aid CPR class. WE’D LIKE TO WISH YOU
ALL KUNG HEE FAT CHOY!

PTA & DHARMA SCHOOL NEWS
Mochitsuki 2010 was a huge success thanks to
the many volunteers from the PTA families and
temple members. The day before the big event, 25
pounds of mochi rice were washed and soaked
overnight. The annex tables were cleaned and covered
and machines taken out of storage by Lily Masuda,
Ethel Shintaku, Tamayo Matsumoto and Donna
Higashi. On Sunday, January 17, Ernie Morikubo,
Alan Nakasone, Melvin Takemoto, Miles Nakamura,
and others arrived to make sure the traditional way of
pounding mochi was being preserved. With “kine”
and “usu” the pounding went on and on and on
throughout the morning.
While upstairs, the 4 modern day machines did
the rest of the work thanks to the capable coordination
by Emma Kie and Lois Ohta. These machines cooked,
steamed and pounded the mochi until the soft mixture
was ready for the cutters and shapers. Thank you to
the many BWA ladies who helped teach this fine art to
the youngsters. Adding sweet tsubushi an and, of
course, the many condiments such as peanut butter,
daikon, natto, sugar and shoyu and nori made
everything most delicious. Special thanks to the
THE WHITE WAY
The month of April will be another busy month
for our preschoolers. On April 4th, the children will
be treated to a live theater production of The Ugly
Duckling. The Maui Academy of Performing Arts
will be presenting this classic tale. It will be the
fourth time we have solicited the MAPA, and look
forward to another great performance.
April is also the month of our annual Spring
Program. The children will be learning and
practicing songs for their performance on April
23. Parents and family members will be welcomed to
join us.
On April 30, we'll be going on another fun
excursion, this time to the Hawaii Children's
Discovery Center. We will visit interactive exhibits
that will teach us about our body, the community and
what makes living in Hawaii so special.

MARCH - APRIL 2010
A Place to Practice
Being Truly Human
The PBA Buddhist Club
It might seem redundant to have a Buddhist
Club at a Buddhist school. At PBA Buddhist
principles are taught directly, integrated into every
subject area as well as most of the administrative
policies, and are practiced (not mastered) by every
adult on the campus. Why then is a Buddhist Club
necessary?
At a recent weekly temple service, our taiko
Sensei, Jay Toyofuku delivered the morning’s
message and said that in his opinion we come to
temple to “check on or clarify our practice,” and that
“the real practice takes place mostly outside of
temple.” Jay Sensei continued, “The defining factor
which allows someone to evolve into one who
embodies his practice is experience. Doing.
Constant repetitive practice with awareness and
paying attention to details.”
Monica Hisanaga ’11 reads to a Head Start preschooler.
PBA students practice what most adolescents
practice. They practice being cool and being funny.
They practice the arts of text messaging, talking
story, teasing, flirting, and expressing their
dissatisfaction with school lunches. Most of all, our
students practice being good friends who are
trustworthy and loyal.
SAVE-the-DATE
PBA Golf Tournament
Wednesday, April 28th
Hawaii Prince Golf Club
The PBA Buddhist Club is a practice space
for those students who also want to practice on a
path of wisdom and compassion. The club is a
sangha within our sangha where once a week,
students gather to practice listening, being openminded, creative, self-aware, generous, and
appreciative of the present moment and one another.
Shauna Suganuma ’10 makes peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches for Furlough Friday lunches for homeless school
aged youth.
In these first few months of school, Buddhist
Club members borrowed and read books to
preschoolers at a nearby Head Start program. They
visited the standing Buddhist Art exhibit at the
Honolulu Academy of Arts with Rev. Eric
Matsumoto. They organized a very successful
school-wide collection of materials for a homeless
shelter in Kaka‘ako and two weeks in a row, made
30 Furlough Friday bag lunches for the school-aged
children who live at the shelter. An urban bicycling
workshop, hike up Mānoa Falls, and ikebana classes
are a few of the activities that are in the works for
the spring semester.
Club members need not be Buddhist and at
present, membership is fairly fluid. More than
anything, the Buddhist Club is a space where
students can experience Shin Buddhism by being
together and being themselves.

Jake Shimabukuro delivers
music and message to PBA
students
Between a performance for the Queen of
England in Blackpool, England, and flying away to
tour the Bahamas and the Caribbean as a featured
musician on the week-long Smooth Jazz Cruise,
ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro managed to
squeeze in a performance for the 70 students of the
Pacific Buddhist Academy.
Jake is the spokesperson for Music is Good
Medicine, a non-profit organization whose mission is
to “use the power of music to heal, influence and
inspire people to improve our community, maintain a
healthy lifestyle, and pursue their dreams with a
positive attitude.” Through school visits, workshops,
senior care center and hospital visits, and community
outreach programs, Jake and other artists use their
music and personal experiences to share MIGM’s
message of hope and living well.
During a 45-minute presentation, Jake played
four pieces which served to both impress and to
segue into the heart of his presentation—the stories
and lessons learned. Between the Flamencoinfluenced piece “Let’s Dance,” and his arrangement
of “Sakura, Sakura,” which is traditionally
performed on koto, Jake talked about performing
with reggae legend Ziggy Marley and recording in
the same studio as hip hop greats Kanye West and
Dr. Dre, artists the students are familiar with. Jake
told the students that growing up, his heroes were
Michael Jordan, Bruce Lee and Bill Cosby, people
who were “passionate about something and
expressed themselves through whatever vehicle they
chose.”
Enraptured students leaned forward at the
edge of their seats, attracted by the magnetism of
Jake’s stories and music. His talk illustrated how
music and art, and in fact every interaction, are
opportunities to express who we are and to relate to
one another. “All of you do that,” he told the
students. “You’re not just delivering a little message
or sharing information, but you are expressing who
you are.”
According to Jake, music, art, speech, even
sports allow us to express what we value and believe
and that expression, he went on to explain, comes
out of awareness—awareness of our surrounding and
our selves. As a performer he said he’s aware of the
lights in a room, the sound of the air conditioning,
the way that sound bounces off the walls and
corners, and of the audience. “Your energy as an
audience, as a listener makes a big difference in the
music that is being created,” he told the students.
“Whether you know it or not, you are contributing to
the experience always as an observer. As an
observer, you have a very powerful role in the things
that happen around you. So it’s very important that
you always think about that.”
As the 45 minutes drew to an end, Jake
brought home a final, simple message: be yourself
and connect fully. As if speaking to each of them
individually, he confided in the students, “We all
have things that we’re proud of about ourselves. We
all have things we’re not so proud about. It’s just a
natural thing.” And like a big brother, he instructed
them, “The idea is to get to a point where you can
just accept it. This is my life. This is who I am. It’s
not a problem…There’s a great power in that.” He
closed with “Annon,” a song inspired by Shinran
Shonin’s teachings.
The students found Jake’s spoken message as
inspiring as his music. “I was impressed,” said
sophomore Amy Higa, who is herself a drummer in
the school rock band. “He’s creative and thoughtful.
He’s had so many experiences and has learned a lot.”
For every student in the
audience that day, Jake
held out the possibility not
of being a great ukulele
player, but of being a selfpossessed person who
mindfully contributes to
the universe. Through his
stories and music, he
joyfully demonstrated
what it means to be open
to life and encouraged the
students to do the same.
