New Year’s Greeting
Immeasurable Light and Life.
At the beginning of the year, I would like to send you my greetings
from Hongwanji in Kyoto.
Upon succeeding the position as Monshu, thirty-six years and nine
months have passed. I have come to empathize with Chinese master,
Shan-tao, as he writes in Hymns of Birth in the Pure Land, “Caught up
in everyday life, the days and nights go left unnoticed, unable to
become emancipated and escape the sea of suffering.” I shall vow to
work diligently until my term comes to an end this June.
For many of us, although the passing of time seems to speed up with
age, in recent years, changes within society have sped up, making
things all the more unsettling. Because these rapid transitions are
largely the result of developments in scientific technology and
economic growth, they sometimes produce discrepancies in individual
lifestyles and societal framework. The gap among socio-economic
concerns including business corporations and people’s lifestyles are
widening that both domestic and international efforts have not been
successful in dealing with such issues. As a result, there is a sense that
neither reflecting on the past nor thinking ahead into the future matters,
so long as we are content with the present. However, this mentality will
result in repeating past mistakes or passing burdens on to future
generations.
Is it not that the role of Buddhism is to provide us who live in this constantly changing world, with an
unfaltering spiritual foundation to live the life which we have received to the fullest? In Jodo Shinshu
Buddhism, that foundation is the Primal Vow of Amida Tathagata, namely Namo Amida Butsu. Being
unconditionally embraced by Amida Tathagata, we are enabled to accept our own inconvenient past and at this
very moment, be joyous of this life we have received.
May we all continue to live every day of this year in appreciation of the Nembutsu.

Hoonko 2014
Everything changes,
Everything appears and disappears,
There is perfect tranquility
When one transcends both life and extinction.
(From The Teaching of Buddha pg. 316)
Happy New Year!! How quickly the time goes by, hard
to believe that 2013 has gone by and we are now
greeting 2014. With the many activities
at the temple, plus the responsibilities
with having a family, it seems like my
wife and I are always on the go. The
recent year-end period was no different
as we had quite a hectic time with so
many events happening. People often
tell us to enjoy it while we are still
young as it goes by so quickly. I now know how true this
statement is as our youngest, Erin, has now turned ten
years old. We no longer have a little baby, for that
matter, not even a little child in our household.
Shinran Shonin, the founder of Jodo Shinshu, also found
himself wallowing in the throes of life. Although those
around him saw him as an accomplished Tendai monk,
Shinran realized that he was unable to find true freedom
through the practices he was following, causing him to
leave the confines of Mount Hiei in search of another
path. This was, of course, the Nembutsu way. On the
18th ~ 19th weekend of January, we will be holding our
Hoonko weekend commemorating the passing away of
Shinran Shonin. Our guest minister for the service will
be Rev. Michael Hayashi from the Manitoba Buddhist
Temple.
Let us take this moment to reflect on the Nembutsu
teachings, which Shinran has left for us. As I mentioned
in the opening passage taken from The Teaching of
Buddha, ‘perfect tranquility exists when we transcend
both life and death’. It is so easy for us to get caught up
in our daily mundane lives, becoming unsettled and
unbalanced. Yet such a life can lead to a sense of
emptiness and non-fulfillment. True peace comes from
transcending our individual lives to seeing the oneness in
all life.
In observing the Hoonko service, let us be mindful that
the memorial service is not so much to venerate a
historical being, as it is another opportunity to truly
listen to the wisdom of Amida Buddha. Even in such a
hectic world, peace and harmony can be found by
awakening to the tranquility within. Namo Amida Butsu.
Gassho,
Grant Ikuta
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE
DECEMBER BOARD
MEETING – Hiroko Yoshihara
1. The large jar of change will be counted on
Sunday, December 15 in order to determine the
winner of the guessing game. Bonenkai lunch
attendees had the opportunity to gauge the
value of the coins in the glass jar.
2. Annually three joint services have been held
with Vancouver Buddhist Temple. This will be
reduced to one joint service at Obon so that
there will be consistency with our weekly
Sunday services.
3. Discussions have been held with the City of
Richmond and Gilmore United Church in
regards to income raising potential of our
temple property. This is looking into the future
as Bingo revenue is decreasing.
4. Legacy Plan has $30,000 which has been
donated by SBT Women’s Auxiliary.
Additional donations from members and
community will be appreciated.
5. Gym re-roofing and earthquake proofing were
briefly discussed. Plans are being developed for
a handicapped washroom.
FUJINKAI
The Fujinkai is planning on holding its
semi-annual AGM on January 26th
following the morning service.
There are a number of important topics to be
discussed at the AGM and your attendance and
participation in the meeting is greatly appreciated.
Also, please mark off Sunday, February 9th for the
Fujinkai Dana Day Service beginning at 10:30 AM.
Proceeds raised from the Dana Day Service will go
to help with programs determined by the National
Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Temples Women’s
Federation to which our Fujinkai is a local chapter of.
Meditation in the New Year
Seiza Meditation sessions will begin in the New Year
on Thursday evenings starting with January 9th at
7:30 PM, and Friday mornings beginning on January
10th starting at 10:30 AM. Why not start off the New
Year with some balance in your life.
