UPCOMING SERVICE - Orange County Buddhist Church
UPCOMING SERVICE EITAIKYO SERVICE AND TISARANA RITES Sunday, November 15, 2015 English speaker: Rev. Kenji Akahosi, Buddhist Temple of San Diego Japanese speaker: Rev. Yugo Fujita, International Ministers Overseas Program (IMOP) Tisarana application can be picked up at the office Orange County Buddhist Church KORIN Wisdom and Compassion of Amida Buddha October 2015 909 South Dale Ave., Anaheim, CA 92804 (714) 827-9590 E-Mail: [email protected] Web-Site: www.OCBuddhist.org Fax: (714) 827-2860 Reflections on 50 years of OCBC As I write this, in one week we will be celebrating the 50 th anniversary of the Orange County Buddhist Church. What an auspicious event it will be. I consider it truly a privilege and an honor to have served at OCBC for 29 of those 50 years of history. Our talented and dedicated graphic artist, Gordon Tani, has made a wonderful program for the 50 th anniversary celebration, and on the cover he has three pictures, titled “Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.” The photo for “Yesterday” is a picture from the dedication of OCBC in 1965. In that picture are the late Rev. Tomoji Hirata, founding minister of OCBC, and other pioneering leaders and presidents of OCBC. At our 50th we honor our past and the many pioneering members who built and established the Orange County Buddhist Church. The sacrifices and efforts that they made are the foundation of what we are today. The picture for “Today” on the program is our newly completed social hall, which we dedicated last summer. What an accomplishment it was for our Sangha to build and complete our new social hall with upstairs offices and Buddhist Education Center classroom. We are enjoying and truly utilizing the new social hall for many, many functions and activities that bring our Sangha together. The upstairs classroom has enabled us to launch an online Buddhist education program. Just the other day I met a new student of our BEC classes who was introduced to our program through the online classes. The new social hall will be enjoyed by our Sangha for decades to come, but we really appreciate having it “today.” For the picture for “Tomorrow”, Gordon has used a computer rendering of our newly expanded hondo, which we will hopefully start to construct next summer. The expanded hondo will also have a beautiful courtyard that will connect our hondo with the new social hall, and is designed in a manner to be utilized at Hanamatsuri and Obon for our many booths that we have . I can’t wait to see the completed project. I think it will be a beautiful and improved hondo that will serve our Sangha for decades to come. In the picture for “Yesterday”, I wonder if those pioneering members thought about what OCBC would look like 50 years later? I wonder if they envisioned that it would be what it is today? Hopefully, we have exceeded even their wildest dreams. OCBC has grown from just 75 families at that time, to now over 600 families and 900 members. From that dedication in 1965, we now also have a wonderful multipurpose building, our “MPB,” in which we will be celebrating our 50th with a banquet of over 500 people! We also have a beautiful mini chapel or Kodo, that we use for services, classes, and hondo overflow, and we have a dignified nokotsudo, or columbarium that holds the ashes of our loved ones and Sangha members. Not only have we increased in our facilities and members since 1965, but we have expanded our programs. We have Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, SEYO basketball teams, Chibiko basketball, Japanese School, judo, kendo, Ikebana, Kimekomi Ningyo, tai chi, yoga, ukelele, taiko, crafts, and cards. We have a Buddhist Education Center that holds classes on Buddhism and Jodo Shinshu, and also publishes books, sharing the Dharma with others. We have a Mindfulness Center that seeks to help those with various life’s issues. Our affiliate organizations involve our Sangha from their early years in Dharma School, the Dharma Wheel Club, through Sangha Teens, Jr. YBA, Sr. YBA, ABA, BWA, on to the activities for our seniors in Project Kokoro. Someone can be at OCBC from their infancy, throughout their entire life to their senior years. We make it possible for someone to make listening to the Dharma a lifelong undertaking, which is how it should be. Fifty years from now, OCBC will observe its Centennial, or 100th anniversary. I doubt I will be able to be at the Centennial. I would be 112 years old. I would love to be here to see it though. Not from the standpoint of wanting to live to 112, but from the standpoint of wanting to see what OCBC looks like as it celebrates its Centennial. I would love to see what the Sangha looks like. I would love to see what our facilities look like. I would love to see what programs OCBC has, and what the Ministerial staff looks like. Just as our pioneering members might have dreamed about what we are observing today with our 50 th, so too I can dream about fifty years from now. Deep in my gut, I have the feeling that what I would see would amaze me. I have the feeling that OCBC will be something to see. I have a feeling that Buddhism and Jodo Shinshu in America as well, will have advanced to beyond what we can even imagine today. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, I pause to pay respect and gratitude to our pioneering members and the efforts of the past. I join with all of you in celebrating our accomplishments and the wonderful Sangha and community that we have today. And finally, I look to the future, with a sense of vision and aspiration for what lies before us. Even if I can’t physically be here at the Centennial, I know in my heart of hearts, that what will connect me with the OCBC of 2065, will be the timeless truth of “Namuamidabutsu.” That truth connects me to our pioneering members of 1965, it connects me to our Sangha in 2015, and it connects me to our future Sangha in 2065. Namuamidabutsu, Rev. Marvin Harada October Korin A WAY OF SEEING (1015. What does it mean?) There would have been an easy way to write this essay, and I may end up taking it, but let’s see where this goes. One way would have been to borrow some poems or anecdotes from the Myokonin, such as Saichi, or Genza, and try to have all of us, including myself, understand what they themselves were trying to understand, albeit with much more success than I. That might sound a bit strange, but you need only to try and understand, for example, one of Saichi’s poems without looking at the explanation that I might have supplied, to know that even with the explanation, you might not really understand what that poem was trying to get at. The reason is simply that either my translation or my explanation was not as clear as it might have been. Or one or the other or both was not only unclear, but was wrong. Right? If you are able to read Japanese somewhat fluently, that would be better, since you would probably be able to read the poems yourself, and you could read the explanations written by a learned professor, rather than a donkon (dull-rooted) person like me. I use the conditional because it depends on whether you are able to understand Buddhist Japanese terminology, as well as standard Japanese. You might already know, or at least have heard, that most Japanese are not able to understand, or even read, it correctly. The reason is pretty simple: Buddhist Japanese terms are translations into Japanese of Sanskrit or Chinese terminology. Some, maybe even a lot, are Japanese terms that are attempts at making new words The recent visit of Pope Francis brought out the perils of trying to translate even modern languages. The L.A. Times (9/26/15, A2, col.2) gave this example: “The most widely quoted statement so far in Francis’ papacy – ‘Who am I to judge?’ in reference to a gay priest – came during a session with reporters aboard the papal plane on a flight home from Brazil. Back on the ground, the Vatican press office, besieged with questions, took days to issue an official Italian transcript.” There were other incidents where (mis-) translations had to be corrected. As you can see, translations can be perilous. Another way to transmit whatever you want of something like a teaching of the Buddha, or in my case, of teachers like Nagarjuna, T’an-luan, or Shinran, is to try to digest their teachings and restate them in one’s own words, or, rather, as one understands them, hoping that they are the same. So far, I have not been corrected by anyone, including professors or ministers. I hope that I have not planted a seed of doubt in your minds. In any case, nearly all that you have read of my writings has been of the nature of translations and not original thought, so you can check them or have them checked. One of the primary goals of the Buddhist teachings is to have us consider whether we are at least satisfied with how our lives are going. The reason, of course, is to determine for ourselves whether we feel our life is going the way we want it to go. If we do feel it is, it is possible that we will not feel the Dharma is something we need in our lives. At least for the time being. I have posed this question before; maybe more than once. Is your life going the way you want it? If not, is there anything you can do about changing the way you are conducting your life? Are the changes (assuming you will need to change more than one thing) Page 2 possible? If not, why not? Is it possible to change other things? If you intend to try to change your life in any substantial way, keep in mind one of the Buddha Dharma’s basic teachings: pratītya-samutpāda, or conditioned coorigination. More simply put, keep in mind the interdependence of all (that’s ALL, without exception) things. You may recall the metaphor of Indra’s net, in which, at the crossing of each of the net’s strings, there is a multi-faceted jewel, such that each jewel reflects any light that reaches it, giving the net a shimmering effect as the lights reflect from jewel to jewel. One thing this metaphor illustrates is that although we might think changing just one thing in our life will change everything for the better, it is also possible that it might change that one thing in such a way that it changes something else unplanned and unwanted. Of course, it is also possible that a change that seemed initially wrong might bring about a better effect even than we could have hoped. This is what makes life more interesting, no? If you are going through hard times right now, I apologize if I sounded flippant. Keep in mind that dissatisfaction is just another word for suffering. One problem is that we are not always able to do what is necessary, even if we think we know what that is. Sometimes we do what we think we need to do, and it turns out to be not only a mistake, but a hindrance. Of course, you could make a mistake and the mistake turns out to be the solution you needed. These are what emptiness is partly about. Because everything is empty of fixed characteristics, there is no way to definitely predict what will happen when you do something, especially if you are trying to do something other than, say, a chemical experiment; and if you make a mistake with that, it just means that you added a property you did not take into account. If you think that does not happen often, just consider the mistakes made by pharmaceutical companies or chemical companies. Drifting away from the subject. One of these days, I may do a John Boehner. Please take care of yourself. Thank you for reading this essay. As we commemorate OCBC’s 50th anniversary, I need to extend my humble thanks to the late Rev. Satoshi Hirata, who dedicated our first temple here, together with our members, and to all past and present ministers. Keep listening to Dharma talks in the light of Shinran. Make your life meaningful. Join me in Gassho, Donkon Jaan Doami October Korin Playing Twelve Questions: Part 2 As I mentioned earlier in Part 1, many college students come to OCBC with a list of questions that were given to them by their World Religions instructor. Some are looking for answers while others just want to finish their assignment. But in either case, this is often their first exposure to Buddhism and the impetus for their practice of Buddhism later in life. Our answers to their questions often resonate more deeply with them as they grow older and live their lives. It is a seed that never dies. It is also important that we are able to answer these questions for ourselves. If we can do that then we will acquire a solid Buddhist footing that can also help others understand and appreciate our tradition. America is curious about Buddhism and wishes to engage in a dialog. Several weeks ago, I received an email with such a set of questions. They were from a seminary student. There were twelve of them. Here is my response to that student and her second set of six questions: The following questions are commonly asked by the three Abrahamic Monotheistic religions. Buddhism is not one of those. But I will do my best to answer them. 7. What challenges does the pastor/leader or church face at this time? How do they anticipate overcoming those? The most difficult aspect is trying to explain an eastern religious tradition to a western audience. There are difficulties in concepts and translations. There is not yet an American Buddhism but it is slowing arising organically over time. 8. What is the makeup of the congregation in age and ethnicity? Page 3 11. How can one practice mindfulness and still be at peace in a busy chaotic world? In Buddhism, many of the practices are forcing us to make deliberate, conscious actions – to stop being reactive or on auto-pilot. As one continues to practice, it begins to become second nature and bleeds out into your everyday life. This is mindfulness. A Buddhist would argue that it is not the world that is chaotic but it is our minds that are chaotic. The problem is inside not outside. We have to change, not the world. 12. Do you have to be a Buddhist to attend? Is this an ecumenical place of worship? Again, do you have to be a dancer to dance or a swimmer to swim? One is a Buddhist through self-identification. You may not call yourself a dancer but when you dance you are a dancer. The Buddha would say “no” just practice but of course that what makes you a Buddhist; very sneaky. In his book What the Buddha Thought, Dr. Richard Gombrich wrote “One of my teachers, the Ven. Dr. Walpola Rahula (who wrote the book What the Buddha Taught), was given to saying that one could teach Buddhism to a non-Buddhist audience in their own language without using any foreign words at all. I agree.” I too agree. We live in a Judeo-Christian culture that uses the type of language found within these twelve questions. This is the religious vernacular. It is important that we can articulate our understanding within this context. It is the coin of the realm and we must be able to spend it wisely and judiciously. In gassho, Rev. Jon Turner Our temple practices a form of Japanese Buddhism so mainly Japanese attend – but we are quickly becoming diverse. Many new members are joining and we have many who come that are Buddhist-curious or Buddhistsympathizers. 9. What is the basic theology of this church/temple? Buddhism is much more like learning to dance or swim – it is a process or a path towards transformation. So pursuing this analogy further, you would not ask a dancer or a swimmer what their beliefs are or what is their doctrine. The only theology is that if one is one with the path and sincere then one will gain insight and meaning from everything in their lives. This takes faith. 10. Are the people that go there seeking God or is it strictly for meditation? God for a Buddhist is Ultimate Reality itself. It is the ocean and we are the waves. The wave is seeking the ocean but then realizes that its very essence is the ocean. So this is an epistemological problem not an ontological problem. We do not change in anyway other than realizing what has always been so. ® Buddhist Education Center Information regarding the classes offered by the Buddhist Education Center can be found at : http://www.ocbuddhist.org/buddhist-education-center/ The 2015 BEC Fall Class Schedule is in the September issue of the Korin. October Korin President's Message OCBC 50th Anniversary Celebration By the time you read this our 50th Anniversary Celebration will have taken place. I wanted to congratulate and thank the Sangha for making OCBC successful as we celebrate 50 years for OCBC. As with any single event not everyone can make it, but it took everyone to make OCBC the terrific place it is over the last 50 years and this note is everyone in the Sangha. Specifically for the celebration, I want to thank our special committee who organized this great event. Led by Jo Ann Tanioka and Diana Ono, their band of volunteers produced the event. The directory effort was led by Phyllis Uyemura making sure we all got our pictures taken and ended with our graphic designer, Gordon Tani, who helped make it all come together in a wonderful way. All of the volunteers had their input into the directory, planning and program. Jo Ann and Diana's merry committee included Nancy Hara, Janet Sakahara, Cheryl Higashi, Rosanne Takahashi, Jeanne Kumagai, Gordon Tani, Lynn Morita, Joan Tani, Phyllis Uyemura, Bill Sakahara, and Emiko Uyeno. The dinner will be a special treat catered by Akira Hirose of Maison Akira restaurant. In addition to the special committee every OCBC organization I can think of provided the additional resources needed. As always it takes many to put on this type of event, and to me that is a big part of what makes this a terrific place to be part of. We can do these events and everyone has fun. Thank you. In thinking of how this temple came to be, we are celebrating more than 50 years and celebrating more than just the past. What does that mean? Let me give you some context. 50 years ago, in 1965, OCBC became an independent temple from the Nishi Hongwanji in downtown LA. That, plus the building of the Hondo, classroom building and original social hall was completed. So, it’s been 50 years from those two important dates. But over 30 years before that, our Issei Sangha started OCBC as a branch location of Nishi. Our Sangha still has families from that time. One is the Kato family. Several of the family members helped out in the produce & plant booth at recent festivals. I also worked there and ended up chatting with them. It turns out I had played taiko with two of the young adults. But I had never really made the connection with their past family history until this year. I found it interesting to connect with them in the present and also as a family from the beginning of OCBC 80 years ago. As shown in the OCBC history timeline the Kato's land was the first permanent location for OCBC and a church facility was built in 1935. From that time to today, the Katos, Sawadas, Okadas, Wadas, Miyakes, Hamadas and many other families built an environment where relationships are developed and fostered. That environment was, and continues to be an essential component in a strong Sangha to go with the other two essentials - our ministers and the Dharma. Thank you - all the families that help OCBC be what it is today. To me, that is what we are celebrating. Not just the history, but what OCBC is today and continues to be. Page 4 Looking ahead - we need to keep changing and renewing. The vision is to continue this great environment for the next 50 years and we have one more piece to complete for our dream - the Hondo and courtyard. This will finish the environment that was envisioned at the start. A temple that is large enough to accommodate our larger Sangha now and into the future. The courtyard will create an area where our larger Sangha can gather to strengthen relationships. Of course, we will be updating the look of the Hondo to coordinate with the great look of the social hall. I have not been around OCBC as long as many of you and in the beginning I did not understand the importance of the Sangha, as I concentrated on the Dharma. Now I have gratitude in seeing a strong Sangha and I see how the Sangha is equally important to furthering our religious aspirations. We need to keep it as strong going forward. I believe the campus atmosphere that was envisioned by our original architect Jim Shimozono and Rev. Marv will help us keep that strength. We started this as a “Building Upon a Dream” project over 7 years ago and at that time I think many did think it was a dream. But over the years our terrific Sangha, individually, as families and as organizations contributed and worked hard. Now we have built our new social hall and the Hondo and courtyard are in reach. So this last phase we are changing the name to “Completing the Dream”. This is achievable and when we ask for your help to finish this major project, please consider one last pledge so we can “Complete the Dream”. Together we will create an OCBC campus that will allow us to continue to foster this terrific Sangha and allow our ministers to promote the Dharma for many decades to come.

Is your commuting time getting to you? Are your children getting in your hair? Your life going no where? Now is the time for a change. Time to keep your body and mind in harmony with your life. It is time for action, it is time to be a participant, it is time for you to become an active member of the Sangha. It is time to join ABA. We are a no-nonsense, non-discriminating group, dedicated to "thoughtfulness in action." Come as you are and join our great group of dedicated members. TOUR USA (August 16-23, 2015) Northwest Summer Scenic Tour: Tour leader Karen Kino, and 38 ABA and non ABA members went on a grand tri-state tour (California, Oregon, Washington). The magic bus stopped at three casinos (Thunder Valley, Seven Feathers, Shasta), three gardens ( Japanese, Rose, Oregon), took the Salem Capitol tour, and enjoyed a great dinner cruise on the Willamette River. We traveled thru the magnificent Columbia River Gorge featuring the Bonneville Dam and Lock, the beautiful Multnomah Falls, Lookout House, the Timberline Lodge, and shopping in Hood River. The highlight of the trip was to the Mount Saint Helens visitor center for the history, events, and recovery of the unforgettable 1980 spectacular volcanic event. (See group photo). It was a very remarkable trip, great food, friendly people, but no big winners at the casinos. FALL OHIGAN LUNCHEON (September 20, 2015): Long lines of hungry people faced a variety of delicious home cooked food after the Fall Higan Service. A wide choice of food is always offered to the congregation by the great ABA cooks. It is always a great bargain meal for the price. The food coordinators were Chieko Miyake and Karen Kino. ABA wants to thank the Sangha for supporting our gourmet event. Daikon no hana: When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know.

Well, we sure are. For the 23 rd year, our taiko group got together at 6am on 9/27 to support the 24th annual OC Race for the Cure at Fashion Island. It’s one of our most important events of the year and is our chance to get out into the community and help support the other 15,000 participants in the fight against Breast Cancer. Unfortunately, our kids missed Dharma School, but we all chanted the Juseige out in the early morning air. Did you hear us? Welcome back everyone to a new year at OCBC! We had our first service activity last month, which was folding napkins and adding utensils for the 50 th Anniversary party. Our families put together approximately 500 napkins in one afternoon! While the parents were busy folding napkins, DW kids made a “Farmer Freddie Frog “scarecrow for the Tanaka Farms Scarecrow contest. With the help of Alan Fukui and Daniel Sasaki, the kids constructed the scarecrow and had very strong opinions on proper scarecrow attire and the perfect farmer’s hat. If you go to Tanaka Farms, please vote for our own “OCBC Farmer Freddie Frog” scarecrow. This month we will be gearing up for the much anticipated OCBC Costume Party. A flyer with all the details is in this month’s Korin. We need all past and new members to fill out membership forms again. Please also fill out an insurance form and include a copy of the front and back of your insurance card. In Gassho, Carol, Irene and Megumi Dharma Wheel Club coordinators Up next, we’re looking forward to helping represent some of the great traditions of OCBC at the 50th Anniversary.

In the June 2013 Korin, Rev Harada paid tribute to Jim with quotes from Jim’s essay, “The Role of Architecture in Religion.” “For me, a Jodo Shinshu temple should, most of all, be appropriate; that is, it should represent a personification of Buddha consciousness. All temples should have something that takes you spiritually back to the religion’s origins and meaning. Although scale and order are important, much more important is creating a sense of simplicity, serenity, and balance.” “I also want a temple to be a ‘bonding place’ among its members – a place for bonding with the religion, with each other, and a place to which people will want to return.” “I want to provide a sense of timelessness in any temple I build. I want a temple that I build to be something that others will want to preserve.” I feel that for the 50th Anniversary Project, our architects Michael Kinoshita (Hondo) and Robin Sakahara (Courtyard) have built upon Jim’s vision.
