March - Sharing Our Joy at our Centennial Celebration
MOILIILI HONGWANJI MISSION 902 UNIVERSITY AVENUE HONOLULU HI 96826 ADDRESS SERVICE REQUESTED Nonprofit Organization US POSTAGE PAID HONOLULU HI PERMIT NO 430 Celebrating Our Centennial Telephones: Office: . . . . . . . . . 949-1659 Preschool: . . . . . . 946-4416 Project Dana: . . . . 945-3736 Website: http://www.moiliilihongwanji.org “Sharing Our Joy at our Centennial Celebration!” by Shaku Horaku (Rev. Eric Matsumoto) Did you plant your “Seeds for the Future”? In the Larger Sukhavativyuha Sutra, we find a passage in which Sakyamuni Buddha acknowledges the great accomplishment of Maitreya who will appear as the next Historic Buddha. I interpret this passage as Sakyamuni Buddha also expressing his congratulations to Bodhisattva Maitreya. “Until you were born in this life, you too, underwent endless cycles of birth-anddeath. Now you have encountered a Buddha, listened to his expositions of the Dharma, and been able to learn about Amitayus (Amida Buddha). What pleasure and joy this is for you (Maitreya) and for me (Sakyamuni) to share!” Reading this passage, there is no doubt that both Sakyamuni Buddha and Bodhisattva Maitreya are experiencing untold joy and happiness! An important aspect of shinjin, the Awakened Mind of True Entrusting, is Joy and Happiness. Shinran Shonin shares “The mind of great joy is true and real shinjin. True and real shinjin is the diamond like mind. The diamond like mind (shinjin) is the mind that aspires for Buddhahood. The mind that aspires for Buddhahood is the mind to save sentient beings. The mind to save sentient beings is the mind to grasp sentient beings and bring them to birth in the Pure Land of peace.” Traditionally, this phrase is referring to Bodhisattva Dharmakara/Amida Buddha. However, today, I would like to suggest VOLUME 50 - NO. 2 that these aspirations are also a part of the mind of sentient beings, even bonbu, who have received shinjin from Amida Buddha. My personal interpretation is that for a foolish being the attaining of Buddhahood is “being allowed to attain Buddhahood (Honganriki ni yotte Hotoke ni narasete itadakimasu) through the great Compassionate Vow of Amida Buddha” and “the mind that saves sentient beings” is (Issai ni kono ue nai yorokobi o wakachiaitai) “wanting all others to experience the unsurpassed Joy of being embraced by Amida’s unconditional compassion and together rejoice in the assurance of supreme enlightenment.” This Joy and Happiness is what sustains us not only when life is smooth, but through the ups and downs of samsaric life. Being embraced by Amida Buddha’s Great Compassion, our predecessors found themselves embraced never to be forsaken and thus experienced great Joy and Happiness, not to mention Peace and Assurance as they lived their life in a world that was far from perfect. Amida Buddha, the Nembutsu provided them with strength and inspiration as well as guidance and comfort. It enabled them to continually move forward with determination, optimism and hope against the sometimes tremendous odds. It reminded them of the preciousness of all life and encouraged that all life should be respected and valued. In this way, the Nembutsu teachings provided a sense of oneness (Continued on page 2) MARCH - APRIL 2006 (Continued from page 1) and togetherness in a world that was often divided. It provided a different perspective by which to live and which promised hope for not only themselves, but the entire world. Wouldn’t this be a wonderful gift or treasure to pass on to your family and friends? I would like to conclude by emphasizing, on the occasion of our Centennial Celebration this month, let us, now, share this wonderful Nembutsu Dharma with others especially your family and friends. Please encourage your immediate family especially your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to come to the Centennial activities like the upcoming Youth Dance, the Cultural Fair and the Centennial Commemoration Service and Luncheon. Please plant your most important “Seeds for the Future” by inviting them to participate in this once-in-alifetime” event. Please express your Happiness, your Joy to them. Your Happiness and Joy could be the factor that promotes their encounter with the Great Wisdom and Compassion of Amida Buddha which will transform our world into a better richer world for all of us. As a closing reflection, I would like to share “Those who feel that their own birth (in the Pure Land) is completely settled should, mindful of the Buddha’s benevolence, …say it (the Nembutsu) to respond in gratitude to that benevolence, with the wish, “May there be peace in the world, and may the Buddha’s teaching spread!” Namo Amida Butsu Entrusting in the Buddha of Immeasurable Life and Infinite Light MINI TEMPLE CLEANUP May we ask for your kokua in a mini cleanup for the temple on Saturday, March 18 as we prepare for the Centennial Celebration. We’ll begin at 8:00 AM. Dusting, mopping, cleaning windows and walkways should be fast if we have a lot of helping hands. We know Saturdays are busy days, but we hope you can help. The White Way is the newsletter of the Moiliili Hongwanji Mission, 902 University Ave., Honolulu, HI 96826. It is printed seven times a year in January, March, May, June, August, October and December. From a small wooden temple structure west of the present-day Moiliili Community Center in 1906, to the temple on Kapaakea Lane in 1921, and then to University Avenue in 1960, Moiliili Hongwanji has grown over the past 100 years so we now enjoy a beautiful temple with adjoining minister’s residence, annex building and parking area. The Moiliili Hongwanji Preschool on the ground floor has an enrollment of nearly 100 children, and the Project Dana office coordinates a network of 31 Project Dana sites across the state. All of these accomplishments have been made possible because of the dedication and foresight of our members, past and present, who have worked so hard to build the temple that we have today. Please join us as we celebrate this rich history with deep gratitude and with renewed commitment to Moiliili Hongwanji, our Dharma Home for generations to come. CENTENNIAL YOUTH DANCE A Youth Dance will be held on Saturday, March 18 from 7:30 to 11:00 PM at the Kapiolani Community College Cafeteria. Admission tickets are $3 in advance, $5 at the door. The dance is open to high school and college students. Bring a friend for a fun evening. Tickets are available at the temple or at the Buddhist Study Center. COME TO THE CULTURAL FAIR As part of its Centennial celebration, Moiliili Hongwanji presents a Cultural Fair, an opportunity for young and old to participate in some very enjoyable cultural activities together. This event will be held on Saturday, March 25: 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM Cultural activities include go checkers, hanafuda, sushi making, mini floral craft, origami, soroban, calligraphy, onenju making, and more. In addition, the children will enjoy a bouncy castle, a balloonist, and there will be some food concessions. 12:30 to 1:30 PM Magic show featuring Harvey “Mr. O” Ouchi.

PRESIDENT’S CENTENNIAL MESSAGE Thank you for 100 years of Onembutsu guidance and let it energize us for the next century. It is not a common feat for the Onembutsu teaching to have steadfastly grown for a hundred years in a little community in Hawaii called Moiliili. It started with a humble beginning of our immigrant ancestors and their teachers who persevered through periods of economic, social and political challenges that would have defeated any group of people except for those who possessed the spiritual strength of hope and compassion that overcame unbearable odds in caring for their families, friends and fellow beings. Isn’t it the little seed of hope nurtured by the infinite light and compassion of the Onembutsu teaching that helps us against the odds? This seed sprouted from season to season to enable the Onembutsu followers to better their lives and those around them. We are the beneficiaries of the immeasurable Onembutsu gift passed on to us by our predecessors for a hundred years. Our centennial commemoration is a recognition of this gift. (continued on page 4) IDENTITY THEFT Identity theft includes a variety of activities, ranging from stealing credit cards to hacking into computer systems to steal information. The various methods of stealing a person’s identity has been listed by the Federal Trade Commission as follows: Dumpster Diving: Thieves sift through trash from businesses or dumps to get credit card information. Phishing: These e-mails take various forms, from Nigerian citizens asking for help with banking in the United States or official-looking communications from well-known companies that note a problem and request personal information. Pretexting: Similar to the phishing scam requesting information, except it’s done by telephone. Skimming: Thieves capture credit card or debit card numbers by slyly attaching data devices to automatic teller machines. Or they capture it with an extra swipe at a restaurant or store. Home Theft: Thieves may break into your home and steal personal information that can be used to set up accounts or make purchases. Mail Theft: Taking credit card offers, checks or tax information from mail boxes. Thieves may also file change of address forms to re-direct mail to another location. Data Theft: Thieves may break into company computer systems to take sensitive credit information that either they use or sell to others. Steps to take to minimize your risk of identity theft • Guard your social security number. • Shred any sensitive document before throwing it out. • Confetti-type shredders are better than strip cut. • Old computers, CD’s and other data disks may contain valuable information. When disposing of a computer, use a “wipe” program to write over the hard drive. • Don’t use passwords that thieves can obtain easily. That includes your birth date, address, mother’s maiden name or last digits of your social security number. • Don’t let mail pile up in your mailbox while you are away or place outgoing bill payments in your mailbox for pickup. If you don’t receive a bill statement, it may be a tip off that someone is diverting your mail to a different address. • Make online purchases only on secure sites. Don’t open files or download programs sent to you by strangers. Be suspicious of unsolicited e-mail. • Carry only the credit cards you think you’ll need. Don’t carry your social security card. • Keep personal information out of sight when workers or visitors are in your home. • Check bills to make sure there are no unauthorized purchases. If you have Internet access, check your account activity line. —by Greg Mile, Advertiser Staff Writer. On the home front: Key legislators have described the incidence of identity theft crimes as “explosive”, and “. . . may be reaching a crisis situation.” On the Big Island, a Hilo woman was sentenced to serve 10 years in prison. She pleaded guilty in November to felony theft and identity theft after spending 22 years impersonating a young woman who was killed in a car crash in Idaho in the early 1980’s. The woman collected more than $308,000 in welfare benefits. ANNOUNCEMENT: Two handbooks are available at the Project Dana Office, “Senior Information & Assistance Handbook, 2005-2007 and Deciding “What If?”, a legal handbook for Hawaii caregivers, family and elderly. For more information call 945-3736. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (Continued from page 3) It is now our turn to make certain that this generation will take the sharing of this great gift to greater heights. We must generate a greater awareness of this great gift through our daily lives in our interpersonal activities. Let us manifest this great gift in our relationship with our friends, associates and fellows beings. “Seeds for the Future” is the theme of our centennial commemoration. Let us all be a part of the continual germination of the magnificent seed of Onembutsu that unfailingly provides the world with comfort and tolerance through its immeasurable compassion for all beings at all times. In Gassho Shuichi Miyasaki, President FROM THE PROGRAM COORDINATOR Ben Lewinger The Bonbu Club hosted an art project to celebrate the Centennial— a shortened version of the “Clay Buddha” sessions enjoyed last year by the club members.

Ryo Imamura speaks at Spring Higan Service Courageous Acts Giseikai Votes to Support PBA “Through great love, which is Amida’s directing of virtue for going forth, We attain great compassion, which is Amida’s directing of virtue for our return; If not for the Buddha’s directing of virtue, How could we realize enlightenment in the Pure Land?” -Wasan #289 Decades from now, the 2006 Giseikai will be recalled as the session in which the leadership of the Hawai‘i Kyodan looked into the future and took several courageous steps to ensure that the generations to follow would have the opportunity to encounter the Nembutsu. regarded as a significant turning point in PBA’s path to becoming an exceptional educational institution. The financial assistance we receive from the Hawai‘i Kyodan over the next five years will enable us to fully develop our programs. With that vote, you raised your voices in response to Bishop Yemyo Imamura’s call a hundred years earlier for a Buddhist school system founded in the principles of universal compassion and an awareness of the interdependence of all things. On behalf of the students, families, faculty and staff of PBA, I would like to thank every member of the Hawai‘i Kyodan for supporting the Pacific Buddhist Academy. By responding with gratitude for the wisdom and compassion we constantly receive, our Kyodan will emerge from these challenging times able to truly share the joy of the Nembutsu path with all people.

If you’re interested in golfing and/or would like to donate prizes or sponsor a hole, call Kathi Takakuwa at (808) 522-7395. Daniel Chin ’08, Jonathan Gates ’08 and Taylor Nagata ’09 lead the chanting of Juseige at the Giseikai opening service. One of those noteworthy decisions was to support the Pacific Buddhist Academy with substantial financial resources. People will recall the passionate and visionary statements made in support of the school. Though some delegates expressed concern that their temples would not be able to meet the additional financial burden, people will also remember the heartfelt support those same delegates expressed. As difficult a decision as it was to make, I believe the vote passing Resolution #4 will be OPEN HOUSE for Prospective Students The Pacific Buddhist Academy is presently accepting applications for the 2006-07 school year, grades 9 thru 12.

Words from a PBA Freshman In both my jazz group and Asian Studies class I have learned to see things as they really are; that to make music, to find solutions to difficult problems, I must depend on the contributions of others and I must express my own views. I am becoming the person I aspire to be. Hollande Lawrence ’09 delivered the following short speech at the 2006 Giseikai. Hello! I am Hollande Lawrence and am a freshmen at Pacific Buddhist Academy. I would like to thank the delegates of the Giseikai for allowing me to share my experiences. PBA has provided creative experiences for me. I am part of a band that comes together four days a week to play jazz music. This program provides an opportunity to take part in performances. As musicians, band members express themselves through the music when playing solos. Soloists have to rely on the band to create a harmonious sound. At the same time, the soloist has to master her own expression to say something unique. In this way, the jazz class is similar to my Asian Studies class. As a freshman, I am required to take Asian Studies as a core class. Dr. Nishimura often assigns group projects so the students can experience the lesson in addition to memorizing facts. In these projects I have to rely on team members to find solutions to problems the projects pose. Last semester, this class taught me how the history of India and Pakistan has led to violence that continues into the present day. The class formed a peace proposal and discussed why the goal of peace could not be attained.
