Minister’s Message:
“They do not get carried away by superstition; they believe in deeds, aspiring to results from their own
deeds through their own effort in a rational way; they are not excited by wildly rumored superstition, talismans or lucky charms; they do not aspire to results from praying for miracles.”
From the Anguttara Nikaya sutra of the Pali Tripitaka
Namu Amida Butsu...
We recently observed St. Patrick’s Day. Before I came to this country, I didn't know who St. Patrick was
and why a particular day in March is observed in his honor. He is supposed to be a saint or holy man in the
christian tradition who got rid of all the snakes in Ireland. It is said to this day that there are no snakes in Ireland
and people traditionally attribute that to his great effort in “de-snaking” the Emerald Isles, the other name for
Ireland. He must have been to Hawaii too, since we too do not have any snakes in these islands. Or do we? Since
I first started working here in the US many years ago, I have encountered many patients of Irish descent, especially in the northeast part of New Jersey, close to New York. They don't look any different from the other caucasian ethnic groups but the giveaway is their family names: usually starts with an “O” like O'connor, O'Malley,
Oh well, good to know we had a former bishop who is Irish: Bishop O'kano. Before I met Irish people, my idea
of Irish is my favorite NBA basketball team, the Boston Celtics, who wear emerald green uniforms or green
lined whites when playing at home court in Boston, although none of their present players are of Irish descent as
far as I know. And their team logo is an Irish leprechaun and a shamrock or clover leaf for luck—called the luck
of the Irish. “Luck”, now that's an often used word when wishing success to our friends or anybody we know
who are about to embark on something. We say good luck, best of luck, wish upon your lucky star and other
ways of saying luck, but not pot luck.
The dictionary defines luck as a force that brings good fortune or adversity; the events or circumstances
that operate for or against an individual. In other words, luck could either be good or bad. There are many kinds
of item that people think will bring good luck in their lives. In Japan, items in the shape of a frog for instance,
are believed to bring good luck. The Japanese “word for frog “kaeru” also means coming back – be it money or
good fortune. Most common items of luck are the various charms or omamori sold in shrines and some temples
supposedly to bring whatever the holder's wishes or desires are according to the type of omamori bought, or to
ward off accidents or evil spirits that can bring misfortune to a person or family. And it is not only in Japan but
practically in any culture in the world, such beliefs in charms and amulets exist. Belief that ordinary items, practices, words and so on could bring good fortune, cause misfortune or ward off evil are what is called superstition. I hope most of you don't believe in superstition. Such beliefs are not inherent in any human being, rather
they are acquired or learned from adults as part of the growing up process. It is interesting to note that superstitions are universal in scope – practically all major cultures have them in one form or another. Let's look at a few
of them. Some are ridiculous and downright funny but interesting to know. First the classic number 13, especially when associated with Friday equals back luck and misfortune.
13 is just a number but I have read that many
airports do not have a gate#13 or hotels do not have a 13th floor. In Japan it's the number 4 that is considered
bad
luck, because it is pronounced “shi” the same pronunciation for death. So hospitals in Japan do not have 4th
floors and room numbers. 44 would be especially avoided..it means double death. It is pronounced “shi-shi” but
in Hawaii, shishi has nothing to do with death except when one has kidney failure. Another superstition is from
the Philippines: If a pregnant woman eats bananas, she will give birth to twins. So she should avoid eating bananas if she doesn't want an extra mouth to feed later on. Another superstition is: don't kill ants in your house.
They are a sign of a happy family. Sure, the ant family will be happy eating whatever exposed food there is in
your house. From China: beating a person with a broom stick will rain bad luck upon that person for years. Of
course, being beaten with a broom is bad luck enough. Don't keep a pet turtle or it will slow down your business.
OK. A pet rabbit would be better then. And superstitions from the USA: Breaking a mirror means 7 years bad
luck. Never walk under a ladder. Never let a black cat cross your path. You never say “good luck” to an actor or
actress before their performance; you say “break a leg”. That seems more like a curse especially when the actor
or actress is doing difficult action scenes without using a stuntman. He or she might actually end up with a broken leg, thanks to you.
So, do some of you believe in superstition? Do you carry a rabbit's foot or any kind of item that you think
will bring good luck or protect you from misfortune? I sometimes see cars that have omamoris hanging on the
rear view mirrors. I have one too, it's not really an omamori, it's a cute ninja figure but it is not for good luck,
just for decoration purpose. Maybe some of you have one of those lucky cat figures or small porcelain frogs
tucked inside purses or wallets for good luck, especially when going to Las Vegas.
I'd be really nice if those good luck charms really work and can bring us good fortune or protect us from
misfortune every time. We, however, as Buddhists and most especially Jodo Shinshu Buddhists do not consider
superstitious beliefs as part of our nembutsu way of life. One of Buddhism's basic teaching is the law of cause
and effect which is: every event, happening, phenomenon arise because of causes and conditions that are present
in that particular situation and that the wholeness or unwholeness of an event or happening depends on the nature of the cause. In other words good deeds bring good results, bad deeds bring bad results. For example, passing examinations for students to get into college is not a matter of being lucky but rather it happens by studying
hard and doing one's best. And same goes the other way, not studying and doing one's best results in not passing
examinations or getting lower grades. The good luck things we hang in our car mirrors will not lessen the chances that we will be involved in an accident, rather careful driving and mindfulness will. In Buddhism, believing in
superstitions is a form of ignorance that binds us to irrational fears and false hopes, and leads to suffering.
Properly understanding the law of cause and effect enables us to see life as it really is and so we can live a life
firmly grounded in reality, accepting and practicing wholesome actions and rejecting unwholesome deeds. There
is really no such thing as a lucky or unlucky occurrence because to call an event lucky or unlucky is the result of
a discriminating mind. The person who finds a $100.00 bill on the street may consider it a lucky occurrence but
not to the person who dropped that $100.00 bill. But I still would wish that I were the finder, not the loser of that
much money. And definitely, only the person with a perverted mind can call the events that recently happened in
the Philippines, the super typhoon, as a good thing, as a form of divine retribution for people failing to obey the
commandments of heaven. It was a disaster brought about by the forces of nature and not by an angry god or
deity that wanted to punish the victims for whatever reason.
And so we can still carry around those good luck charms with us but strictly for amusement purposes only., just as reading the daily horoscopes. Superstitious beliefs have no place in our lives as Jodo Shinshu Buddhists. As Shinran Shonin was quoted in the Tannisho: only the nembutsu is true, real and sincere. Because the
nembutsu is timeless, boundless reality that is beyond the confines of superstitious ignorance.

President’s Message
A few of us are planning a trip to Vegas and Rev. Kalu is coming along. If you
are interested in going, I can give you more information. Just let me know.
Sensei mentioned that he wanted to see the Hoover Dam.
I want to thank everyone that is coming to our Temple Office to help Rie, our
new secretary. As you may already know, Rie is originally from Japan and
needs assistance in answering the phone. Help her out by speaking slowly and don’t use Pidgin. If an animal looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably a pigeon. This tidbit of information comes directly from the “Mike Nakagawa School of Reasoning”,
where nothing makes sense.
In the last newsletter, my picture was included with my message (see above). Do you know
what this means? My cover as a secret agent has been blown. Now everyone will know who
the nut is at MHM. I don’t know how this picture was obtained, but I think there should be a
congressional investigation into this matter. Wait a minute… if I do that, more people will
know who I am. Forget what I just wrote! Erase everything! Okay folks, move along. Nothing happened. That’s right, keep moving! Disregard this paragraph.
See you next month.

LIVING TREASURE OF HAWAII - REV. CHIKAI YOSEMORI
Congratulations to Rev. Chikai Yosemori who was honored as a Living Treasure
of Hawaii. As the minister of Paia Hongwanji in the 1960s he led the move to establish
Makawao Hongwanji in 1971. In a Maui News article he recalls how Paia Hongwanji
members used their skill, muscle, and heart to build a new temple. They also got help
from the Makawao Japanese community and Buddhists from all over Maui and Hawaii.
Rev. Yosemori remembers the plantation camp days when he visited houses with white tobacco
bags on faucet spouts to filter out the dirt and the outdoor furos and outhouses. He and his wife Chihoko
also remember the mango and orange trees in the church yard.
In 1981, he and his family were transferred to Jikoen Hongwanji where he led the effort to raise $1
million to purchase the property from Bishop Estate. In 1996, he was appointed Bishop of Honpa
Hongwanji and undertook the project to establish Pacific Buddhist Academy, the first Buddhist high
school in the US.
“We built Makawao Hongwanji by our hands,” Rev. Yosemori says, “It was a hard time but a very
joyous time. Glorious time in my youth.”
He further says, “I’m very grateful for all the people who supported me. Without their help, I
don’t think I can receive this kind of award.”
We at Makawao Hongwanji appreciate that Rev. and Mrs. Yosemori and their children JoAnn and
Eric. We will always remember their years on Maui and all the people they met. Thank you for being
part of our Ohana.
HANAMATSURI SERVICE AND ACTIVITIES
April 6, Sunday, 9:00 – 1:00
Velma Santos Wailuku Community Center
Please come and join in fellowship with other Buddhists on Maui. Makawao Hongwanji will provide lunch. Let us know if you need transportation to attend.
SAM’S MESSAGE:
Sam said, “With all these faithful workers helping, I feel like Momotaro. We go out and capture
all our projects. Thank You for all the hard workers.” He also said, “When someone asks you to be
chairman, just say “Yes”, like First Hawaiian Bank.” And always reminding everyone to collect
“Yellow Stamps”. (You can still drop off yellow stamps at the church office. Does anybody know what
we are saving up for?)
Some comments received:
Sam was an inspiration to many of us and I’m truly grateful to have known him. He showed Makawao Hongwanji the way.
Sam’s Message brought back nostalgic memories of days gone by and how Sam dominated the activities around the temple. His articles not only provided news about what was happening but also encouraged people to come out and provide a hand in getting the job done.
