By Rev. Yushi Mukojima
My wife Mika and I were full of
anxiety when we left the Buddhist
Temple of San Diego because for
eight years, this Sangha cared for
us as if we were their own family.
In the eleven years since arriving
in the US, I’ve been fortunate to
share the Nembutsu and many
valuable and meaningful experiences at the Seabrook, Visalia and
San Diego temples.
It is truly an honor and privilege to
join the Mountain View Sangha to
share our experiences, happy or
sad, as together we embrace the
Nembutsu as a compass in our lives.
Although we may feel inexperienced,
we will do our best. I sincerely ask
for your guidance and support.
Imagine our relief and gratitude
that the Mountain View Sangha
welcomed us and our daughter
Kurumi and son Oji so warmly!
Welcome Reverend Mukojima
By Bob Imai
Reverend Mukojima began his
career with the Buddhist
Churches of America (BCA) in
November 2001. He was assigned
as the resident minister to the
Seabrook Buddhist Temple in
New Jersey in March of 2002.

It is my pleasure to announce that
the Minister Selection Committee,
with the approval of the Mountain
View Buddhist Temple Board has
accepted Bishop’s Umezu’s appointment of Reverend Yushi
Mukojima to the Mountain View
Buddhist Temple. Reverend Mukojima started his new responsibilities as our resident minister on
August 1st, 2013.
One year later, he was transferred
to the Visalia Buddhist Temple in
Central California. Visalia is a
farming community just south of
Fresno. After a few years at Visalia
he was transferred to the Buddhist Temple of San Diego.
Prior to his move to the United
States, Reverend Mukojima served
as a minister in the Buddhist
Churches of South America from
1998— 2001, in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Reverend Mukojima received his
education from Ryukoku University in Japan where he received his
Bachelor’s degree in Buddhist
History. He received his Tokudo
ordination in August 1994; Kyoshi
in September 1997; and Kaikyoshi
in December 1998.
He was born in Osaka, Japan and
grew up in Fukui. He comes from
a family rich in the Jodo Shinshu
tradition. His father is the head
minister of the family temple in
Fukui.

Another Successful Obon Bazaar and Festival
As one of the chairmen of this
year’s bazaar, I want to take a
moment to extend my heartfelt
gratitude for another successful
Obon Festival this year.
I am so relieved and grateful for
our members, outside organizations, and volunteers that continue to help in the various booths
and activities. An event like this
could not happen without the help
of lots of people—from my cochair, Russell Okuno, to all the
chairs of the different booths and
bazaar activities to the many volunteers that worked so tirelessly
the bazaar weekend, and in the
weeks leading up to the bazaar.
This event is an important annual
fundraiser for our Temple. I see it
also a time for us to come together and strengthen our MVBT
Sangha by carrying out longstanding traditions (and making
new traditions!), deepening existing friendships (and making new
friends!), and really just enjoying
the good food, cultural activities,
games, and entertainment together.
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves this year.
Until next year, everybody!
Gassho,
Richard Endo
A huge thank you to all of you.

Using GPS to Make Our Way in Life (Cont’d fr P.1)
Since moving to Mountain View,
Mika and I have enjoyed exploring
the area. Although we don’t have
our bearings yet, I am fortunate to
have a car with GPS. It is a remarkable tool. Most new cars and smart
phones use GPS to display a detailed map clearly showing where I
am at any given moment. I can
really enjoy a comfortable drive
because no matter where I go, I’ll
always reach my destination.
Simply input an address, and the
GPS will show the preferred route,
even announcing loudly and clearly,
“Turn right at the next intersection” so one doesn’t need to read
the display while driving. It also
calculates distance and shows our
estimated arrival time. When we
drive to an unfamiliar place, we
arrive successfully because the
system guides us. It is wonderful to
have such an aid that keeps us
from getting lost.
Just a decade ago, we depended on
fold-out paper maps. As a child, I
remember my father always driving
with my mother telling him where
to turn as she consulted the map.
In Japan, the roads are often narrow and many streets are unnamed, so it’s very difficult to find
a new place. I still remember my
mother complaining because there
were many times when my father
wouldn’t follow her directions!
When I went back to Japan several
years ago, my father would sigh
and say, “My GPS often yells at
me. I want a quieter one…” But
recently he told me he finally purchased a real GPS, so I am sure
that he can now drive confidently
to an unfamiliar place without
being criticized by my mother.
Speaking of directions, if you were
asked, “Where are you headed
in life?” how would you respond?
Could you answer quickly and confidently? As we go through life, it is
very important to know where we
are going, but sometimes we might
not even be aware that we are lost.
Shin Buddhism teaches us to “Live
with the Pure Land as our destination,” and it clearly shows us the
direction to the Pure Land. The
Pure Land is the world of ultimate
enlightenment where we return to
when our lives end. And the Pure
Land should be our spiritual support
and nourishment throughout life.
There might be some who feel
that it is an actual world in the far
distant future. However, it is definitely not far away. For example, if
I were to die tonight, I would be
born in the Pure Land in the moment of my passing.
There might be others who insist,
“The Pure Land only exists in the
afterlife,” or “The Pure Land only
exists in this world.” There are
many on either side of this argument. But the Pure Land actually
exists throughout the three
worlds—the past, present, and
future—and continues to work on
each one of us. So we should realize that it cannot be defined so
easily.
Ultimate enlightenment is to be
found in the afterlife when we discard our blind passions such as greed,
anger, and ignorance. But remember that the Pure Land is not far
away. If we open our Dharma Eyes,
we can see that the Pure Land is
here and now and working on us.
The Pure Land is a pure world
of enlightenment without the
defilement of the blind passions; a world that transcends love
and hatred; a brilliant world where all
life becomes one; and where all life is
revealed to be precious.
When we reflect deeply upon
ourselves through the Buddha’s
teaching, we cannot help but realize that we are always limited by
the darkness of blind passions.
Living without true awareness, we
live selfishly, consuming that which
we desire and excluding those things
that are inconvenient. We hurt others and even ourselves. This is our
ugly attachment to the self.
However, Shin Buddhism teaches
us to live humbly while reflecting
seriously upon our true selves who
must necessarily live confused in
the darkness of blind passions.
Being guided to the true world of
the Pure Land, we can see our
own lies and self-delusions. In that
respect, we can say that a person
who truly sees his ego-nature has
already begun to live in the Pure
Land, which transcends his own calculation here and now.
We sincerely want to live with our
mind and heart in the Pure Land.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard
we try, we ordinary people have
limitations. From his writing Notes

Using GPS to Make Our Way in Life (Cont’d fr P.4)
Shinran Shonin writes, "Foolish
beings, we are full of ignorance
and blind passion. Our desires are
countless, and anger, wrath, jealousy, and envy are overwhelming,
arising, without pause. To the very
last moment of life, they do not
cease, or disappear, or exhaust
themselves.” It is impossible to be
completely free from the world of
darkness because our minds are
always veiled by the thick clouds
of self-centered passions. Therefore, we often lose sight of which
direction we should take.
When this happens, who or what
can we possibly rely on?
Shinran Shonin taught us clearly,
“The one who knows and understands all about us—the
one who shows us the purpose of
our life, the direction in our life,
and the place where we are now
in life—is Amida Buddha.”
Amida Buddha is always guiding us
toward the true world by calling
to us with his immeasurable light
and life. His calling voice is the
Nembutsu: Namo Amida Butsu.
Living with the Nembutsu means
that we live moving in the direction of the Pure Land…that true
world where we transcend our
selfish and ego-nature while being
nurtured by the Nembutsu the
Nembutsu which is filled with
Amida Buddha’s wisdom and compassion. We can definitely say that
the Nembutsu is the light which
pierces the darkness around us. It
is much like a GPS system as we
navigate our way through life.
Shin Buddhism does not say that
we are only saved only when we
are born into the Pure Land in the
afterlife. Although we will achieve
this true enlightenment when we
die, our life is a journey moving
toward the Pure Land with great
peace of mind. Being alive means
we must encounter suffering and
sadness because things don’t turn
out as we wish.
However, when we begin to realize that the light of Amida Buddha’s wisdom and compassion
always gently embraces us, guides
us, and never abandons us no
matter what might happen, we
receive the great power of the
Nembutsu which can overcome all
difficulties with great joy, gratitude, and peace of mind. It means
that we who are alive now are
saved NOW. This is the essence
of Shin Buddhist teaching.
Because of this realization, I feel
happy and grateful despite the
gravity of responsibility of our
new life in beautiful Mountain
View. It is my sincere wish to live
resolutely and move forward in
brilliant light together with our
new Sangha, dependent on the
Nembutsu as our guide.
In conclusion, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to
all who have supported my family
and to the Mountain View members who have made us feel so
welcome since our arrival.
In Gassho,
Reverend Yushi Mukojima
BWA Welcomes Rev. Mukojima and Family!
