From Sensei: The Buddha’s Smile
Obon season is just around the corner. We are
looking forward to Obon celebrations. Obon is a time
for happy reunions with families and loved ones. Obon
is often called Kangi-e, which means “gathering of joy
celebration” during which we rejoice in the awakening
offered by the Buddha, and express our gratitude to our
predecessors, and loved ones who have contributed to
our lives, but have now passed from our midst.
Every Temple in North America celebrates this
great tradition. Bon Odori originates from the story of
Mahamaudgalyayana, a disciple of the Buddha, who
used his supernatural powers to look upon his deceased
mother. To his great dismay, he found her suffering in
the Realm of Hungry Ghosts. Greatly disturbed, he
could not understand how his devoted mother, whom he
regarded as self sacrificing, could have been relegated to
such a fate. He sought the advice of the Buddha who
recommended that he make offerings to the gatherings of
Buddhist monks who had just completed their summer
retreat. Mahamaudgalyayana followed the Buddha’s
advice, and thereafter saw his mother's release. He also
gained insight into the true nature of her past life. Her
sacrifices for him had also resulted in pain and suffering
to other people. He was shocked to discover that his
“perfect” mother had often behaved in selfish ways towards other people, in order to give him an advantage in
life. Mahamaudgalyayana, happy to have earned his
mother’s release, danced with joy. It is this dance of joy
which is the origination of Bon Odori or "Bon Dance", in
which we celebrate the contributions of our loved ones
who have passed on, and the sacrifices that were made
for us.
The festivities of Obon create for us a warmth
and happiness that extends throughout our Buddhist
communities. Many people from our extended families,
and friends come to join with us in our Obon celebrations.
During Obon dancing, everyone seems to have a
smile on their faces. What a wonderful festive atmosphere this creates. It gives those around us such positive
feelings, and acceptance. I have noticed that some people tend to smile a lot, and always seem to have a gentle
facial expression. They transmit to us a positive energy,
and we are drawn to them. What is their secret? How
can they be this way, even throughout life’s inevitable
hardships? Do they have an “inner Buddha smile” that
fills them with a deeper appreciation for the complexities
of life?
Ancient sages have often encouraged the cultiva-
tion of an “inner smile,” which was believed to be an
effective way to counteract the stresses of our lives.
This “inner smile” was said to “nourish the whole
body”, and increase positive energy of the body as a
whole. Indeed, there are some forms of meditation that
focus on the cultivation of an inner smile that sweeps
throughout the inner body to fill the person with positive energy, warmth, security, and a sense of inner stability. Laughter, too, is extremely liberating, as well as
healing, and may even induce more powerful emotions
of faith, hope, courage, and happiness.
The power of a spontaneous smile was also
described by Mahakasyapa, the first successor of
Shakyamuni Buddha from the Zen school of Buddhism. He was described as smiling in response to
Shakyamuni Buddha holding a single flower in his
hand as he addressed a large gathering. At that time,
Shakyamuni Buddha reportedly said to him “you are
the only one who truly understands my teaching.”
There are many references to the positive power of a
smile within the Sutras. The Contemplation Sutra describes the five-colored rays of light that emanated
from the Buddha’s mouth, in response to Vaidehei’s
request to be born into Amida’s Land.
Imagine how happy and peaceful our relationships with people would be, if we always met one another with smiling faces and words of compassion
However, when we reflect upon our daily actions, we
cannot help but notice the reality, that sometimes when
we speak, it is with hurtful words and unpleasant countenance. A smiling face and words of compassion are
not things that one can superficially produce. Instead
these can only come from within the depth of our
hearts.
We can, however, also learn to smile gently
from within ourselves in many situations, to look at
those situations that we may need to confront outside
of ourselves. This can serve to keep our hearts and
minds free from negative states as we face difficulties
that might be troubling us. Our inner “Buddha smile”
can keep us connected to everyone and everything
around us.
As we begin the season of Obon, let us reflect
on Amida Buddha and his gentle acceptance of all of
us. This may bring his inner smile into our hearts.
Namo Amida Butsu.
In Gassho,
Rev. Yasuhiro Miyakawa

Women’s Association Update:
The weather turned from cold and rainy over the
past few weeks to sunny and warm just in time for
our visitors from Hawaii to come to Vancouver,
Kelowna on May 30, 31, and then on to Calgary to
prepare for the 2015 World Women’s Federation
Convention. Bishop Eric and Mrs. Tamayo Matsumoto, Reverend Shindo Nishiyama, Advisor to the
Women’s Association, Mrs. Janet Honda, President
of the Women’s Association, Mrs. Irene Nakamoto,
Vice President of the Women’s Association, spent 1
-1/2 days in Kelowna taking in the sights in a whirlwind tour. Thank you to Shirley Tanemura, Alan
Yamaoka, Reg Tomiye for providing transportation
and acting a tour guides, and to Reverend and Mrs.
Miyakawa, Barb & Kent MacCarl, Jerry and Laurie
Takeda, and Isao Terai for also joining us for dinner. Reverend Miyakawa chanted Shoshinge in
English, (assisted by Barb MacCarl and Michael
Martin) in a brief service prior to taking the group to
the airport Friday after lunch to complete the final
and most important leg of their journey before returning home to Honolulu. We hope they all en-
joyed themselves and that they will return again to
Kelowna for a longer visit next time. Aloha! See you
soon.
Speaking of the Women’s Federation Convention, we
need to seriously consider new fundraising possibilities. We are looking for ideas from our members and
welcome suggestions from everyone. If you are looking for gift cards from the Shop N Save fundraiser –
we still have 4 Golf Town gift cards in $25 denominations. Please contact Tomoye Yamaoka @ 7657069 if you wish to purchase any.
Obon practice dates have been placed in the newsletter. Please come out to practices, we look forward to
seeing you.

Message from the Editor
Who cuts your hair? Ever since I can remember my
wife has cut mine… such that it is now a days… lol.
I remember once when she was cutting my hair, a
mosquito landed on her arm and she went to swat it,
a natural reaction under normal situations, but not
with an electric clipper in your hand. Needless to
say, we were on our way to a family reunion and I
had this big bald spot on the back of my head, definitely a conversation starter. Thank goodness for
hats… they can usually cover most indiscretions and
balding spots, if you have them. But my point is…
the hair grew back… it was funny and I wasn’t go-
ing to get all worked up about it. When you find
yourself in a similar situation, maybe not with respect
to hair, but one in which you feel that someone has
done something that hurt you or your feelings, maybe
in time, it won’t be an issue… think before you react.
So in life, the impermanence of hair is a transient moment, one in which we need to understand that “I”
and “ego” need to be held in check. Thank you for
putting up with my editorials for another year and
may your summer be full of fun, sun, satisfaction and
safety.

Buddhism of the Heart
Rather than focusing on a nonexistent personal core buried somewhere in the body or mind or spirit, it would
be more useful to turn the gaze outward and observe the “buddhaness”of all things. All awakening takes
place through the ceaseless support of the entire universe, not simply through one’s “own”efforts. The meditator in his cave, the sutra scholar in her study, the bodhisattvas with their sleeves rolled up—all are enabled
to do what they do through the natural working of Dharma, of the entirety of the universe itself. No Buddha
has ever awoken in isolation.

Just Rambling
During the first 2 weeks of June when I was in Kelowna, the weather was so nice with the bright Okanagan
sun shining every day. It felt as if I was on a vacation in Hawaii. However, that was certainly not the case as
most of the days were spent indoors sorting and putting away the salvaged articles. Shopping for other necessities also took up a fair amount of my time. It’s no fun going through all that hassle, especially at my age. That
energy would have been much better utilised golfing or just basking in the sun soaking up some vitamin D.
The best things that happened to me though were the numerous dinner invitations that I received from relatives
and friends. My sincere thanks and appreciations go to each and everyone of them for being so nice to me.
They all seemed to know what my favourite foods were. The leftovers that they usually sent home with me
made my lunches the next day seem like banquets. Thank goodness, I do not seem to gain any weight no matter how much I eat. The reason could be that because with no TV or Internet to watch or any comfortable chair
on which to relax, it was almost impossible to become a couch potato because I was always on the move.
My how time flies. 10 years ago, Kitimat became home to me for approximately 6 months each year. The rest
of the time I was back in Kelowna. I journeyed back and forth for almost 3 years. The winters up north turned
out to be rather mild and with the annual snowfall being considerably less than normal, we were pleasantly
surprised. Our neighbour told us horror stories about some winters when the snowfall reached the tops of the
doors of the homes. When we resided there, the rainfall was much below the annual rate of precipitation that
was recorded. As a matter of fact, one summer there was a sizable forest fire nearby. I always thought that
Kitimat was in the rain forest.
On Sunday June 9, I had the opportunity to attend the Shotsuki and the Monthly Memorial Service at the
Kelowna Buddhist Temple. It was a pleasure meeting Sensei, Okusan and several old friends whom I had not
seen for a few years.

This
is an article especially for the Dharma School kids and their families.
The summer is almost here. Just a few more days and you will be out of school and enjoying
summer activities. Dharma school also has ended for the summer. As I look back on all
that you have learned in Dharma School this year, I am filled with happiness! I know that
the Buddha’s teaching can help you in many ways throughout your life, so I am happy
when I think about all the important teachings that you now carry with you wherever you
go. Let’s remember these teachings over the summer months! They are:
The Eightfold Path – right view, right thought, right speech, right conduct, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right meditation
The Three Jewels – Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha
The Four Noble Truths – Life brings suffering; Suffering happens because of greed, h tred,
and ignorance; there is a way to bring an end to suffering, and; the Eightfold Path brings an
end to suffering.
The Four Marks of Existence – Remember? “Think B.I.I.G.”!
As you enjoy your summer holidays, what do you think you can do to remember and grow in the Buddha’s teaching?
In the last Dharma School session, the kids had some great ideas. They included things like reading parts of Sensei’s
book, reciting the Eightfold Path or the Golden Chain, taking some time for meditation. There is also a good book for
kids called Naomi Asks About Buddhism that can help you learn and remember much of what you have learned this
season. This book is available at the Temple. If you want one, you may contact us at the email address below and I
will make sure you get one. I encourage you to think of other ways to practice your Buddhist path over the summer.
One important way you can do this is to recite the Nembutsu as you go about your daily life. It’s easy! Just say, “Namu
Amida Butsu”, like we do at Dharma School. When you say this, it means that you take refuge in the Buddha’s great
compassion. This can help to quiet your mind and help you to walk on the Eightfold Path.
May you all be happy and enjoy all the beauty that the summer months bring! We look forward to seeing you again in
the Fall.

Kamloops Buddhist Temple Obon Service
July 21st at 3:30pm
Guest Minister, Rev. Hoshu Matsubayashi
Minister Emeritus from
San Francisco
(Rev. Matsubayashi was a
former Bishop from
JSBTC)
We had nice weather during the brief stay of our guests from Hawaii on May
30th and 31st. They were on their way to Calgary for the 2015 World Women’s
conference meeting and decided to visit Kelowna. They included the Bishop of
the Hongwanji of Hawaii, Bishop & Mrs. Matsumoto, Rev. S. Nishiyama, Ms.
Janet Honda, Ms. Irene Nakamoto. Shirley Tanemura, Alan Yamaoka and me
toured the delegation to the Eldorado for lunch and then had a winery tour of
Mission Hills Wines. Later that evening, we went to Mubai for dinner and the
delegation had a chance to meet Sensei Miyakawa as well as some our congregation. The following day Sensei Miyakawa gave a service introducing the new English chanting and the
Jodo Shinshu Shogyo to the delgation. They had a great time and well probably be back to Kelowna as an
extension to their trip to the Convention in 2015.
After Pegi and Herb had prepared an extensive emergency plan, it was decided that we needed to have test
conducted on a regular basis to be in compliance with the fire department. The testing of our emergency
equipment is being done monthly after each board meeting. A big thank you to Pegi and Herb for a detailed
plan. This binder can be viewed in the board room.
Isao Terai has completed three beautiful Butsudan . They can be seen in the Boardroom. They are very well
done with very intricate ornate carving. They are for sale from Isao.
Remember Obon will be held on July 14th. Our special guest minister Reverend Masao Kodani, will be here.
A welcome dinner is planned for Saturday, July 13, so if you would like to attend, please advise Barbara Yamaoka. Hope to see you all there.
