Aloha everyone,
September 2016
President’s Message
Pa’ia Mantokuji has entered a transition period between Reverend Shuju
Inamura's departure and the arrival of a new resident minister. Your board of directors
is actively working on finding that new minister for you all, and has developed a plan for
addressing your church-related needs and requests in the interim. Please look over this
month’s Mangan for more specific information or call us at 579-8051. A special mahalo
goes out to the Kyodan officers and board members, as well as some other dedicated
and concerned members and volunteers who are stepping up to meet the challenging
demands of keeping our temple and all of its activities running as smoothly as possible.
Please contact us if you are willing or able to come and help. Your time and efforts will
be very much appreciated.
We’re happy to announce an upcoming visit by our former minister, Reverend
Kenji Oyama from Japan. He has graciously agreed to conduct our Autumn Ohigan and
Daruma-ki services on Sunday, September 25 and Sunday, October 2, respectively.
We hope to have good news for you in the near future and will keep you
informed of our progress in the search for your new minister. In the meantime, we ask
that you continue to give us your support. We look forward to seeing you at the
temple. Take care.
Sincerely,
INSIDE THIS ISSUE

Thank you for your Support during
O-Bon 2016!
We would like to thank all of the members,
volunteers, donors, and participants who make it
possible to hold our O-Bon Festival and especially those
who came from other islands and even from the
mainland to help.
We are blessed to have so many people in the
community that come to support us. The kindness and
selflessness of all the people that come and help can be
felt strong and deep and it brings out the best in all of
us.
We believe that it is important to continue holding
this annual event so that the values, ethics, and
traditions that we received from our ancestors and
departed loved ones will be passed on to the next
generation and the feelings of gratitude, honor and love
for our loved ones will give us direction and meaning as
we live our lives in this ever changing world.
Please take care.
Autumn O-Higan & Ryosoki Service
You are cordially invited to attend the Autumn
O-Higan and Ryosoki Service on
Sunday, September 25 at 10:30am
The O-Higan ceremony is observed to honor
our departed loved ones and also an occasion to
review the six paramitas that we use as our guidelines
for a healthy peaceful life.
The Ryosoki ceremony is a memorial service for
the two founders of Soto Zen Buddhism in Japan,
Dogen Zenji and Keizan Zenji. The official day of the
Ryosoki is September 29 as both founders had
passed around this time.
Rev. Oyama will be officiating these services.
