October 2013
Aloha Members and Friends,
I am sad to say that this will be the last Mangan that I will write. I knew
it was coming, but it is still very sad for me.
My wife Naoko and I have lots and lots of wonderful memories that we
have of our time at Mantokuji that we will treasure forever.
We knew from the start that one day we will have to leave and so we
made the most of every moment that we had together with you. It is the nature of
life that people are born and then die, arrive and depart, appear and disappear. It
is not something we can get used to, but that is why we have to try our utmost to
live each day the best we can, taking care of the people that we are with, being
mindful of ourselves and others so that we can truly appreciate life and
everything that is offered to us.
Good news is that the new minister and his wife, Rev. Shuju and Kozue
Inamura’s visa situation is progressing and they may arrive before I leave. I was
afraid I would leave the temple without a residence minister, but things are
looking better now. So that is definitely something to be happy about.
Rev. Inamura is a friend and classmate of mine that I met at Sojiji Head
Monastery. He spoke some English back then so I had always thought of him as
a possible replacement for me. He went to Italy after finishing his training at
Sojiji and so I had given up on him at that time. But when hearing that he
returned to Japan, I looked him up and began talking to him about coming to
Maui. He and his wife came to help at the 2007 bazaar and I was happy to hear
that they enjoyed their stay and it did not scare them off.
So finally, after all these years, and after all the visa issues that they
patiently waited through, they will finally be able to come to Mantokuji.
Please take care of Mantokuji and Rev. and Mrs. Inamura as they get
accustomed to learning the Hawaii style of doing things. I am sure there will be
many funny episodes that may occur because of the misunderstandings that are
bound to happen. We all need to have patience and a flexible and open mind.
Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu! Thank you so much for everything!
Gratefully In Gassho,
Rev. Kenji Oyama,
Resident Minister

Farewell Message from Rev. Kenji Oyama
Aloha Friends,
First of all, I would like to thank everyone for the warm support given us during our tenure at
Mantokuji. Your love and kindness made our stay so very special. I can say with confidence that the time
spent here in Maui with the Mantokuji Ohana has been the best time of my life. It has been so very fulfilling
and gratifying and although it was just a short time, it is packed full of many wonderful memories.
I feel as though the easy going island style of Maui, the sugar cane fields and beautiful ocean by Paia,
and the relaxing and fun Mantokuji Sangha all fit perfectly with my personality and nature. So you can
imagine the great sadness that both my wife and I feel as we move on to our next assignment.
Although we are very sad to leave, we are focused on our future and are determined to do our best in
a new environment with a bundle of new challenges, and I know that the experience we gained here will help
us wherever we go and whatever obstacle we face. Whenever we are in a jam, we just have to remember the
many bazaars and o-bons, and the hard work that we did together, and that should give us courage to go
forward.
I feel very fortunate to have had the “hoen” - a karmic relationship – that brought us to Maui by pure
chance. It has been a blessing for us to have met so many extraordinary people who took us in and instantly
made us feel at home and be a part of this big family.
It was an important time in our life also as we had just gotten married and for the first time we were
out in the world on our own. At the beginning, we practically did not know anything and had to really rely
on everyone’s help, and find our way through making mistakes, asking a lot of questions, and carefully
listening and watching our seniors who have a wealth of knowledge and an amazing work ethic.
I know that the new minister and his wife will also go through a period of major adjustment as they
will be living in a land that has a culture and language entirely different from where they were born. I ask for
your patience and understanding and I know that the Mantokuji Sangha will embrace them as you did us.
The valuable time spent in Maui will never be forgotten and will always have a special place in our
heart. As we leave, we wish for the very best for Mantokuji and all of you and hope to stay in touch and visit
often. Please come to visit us in Yamagata if you have a chance to make a trip to Japan.
With Love and Gassho,
Rev. Kenji Oyama
Farewell Message from Okusan - Naoko Oyama
１１年前、ハワイに来る飛行機の中で「何で ハワイに行かないといけないんだろう？」と沢山泣いてハワ
イに到着しました。
でも今は、そんな事があったなんて嘘のようです。
こんなにも、満徳寺が好きになるとは思ってもいませんでした。
１日１日がとても早く、１週間が早く、１年があっという間でした。
あっと言う間の１１年でした。
毎日がとても充実していました。
毎日、毎日笑顔でいっぱいの日でした。
沢山、勉強させてもらいました。
日本に居たら、絶対に出来ない経験を沢山経験しました。
沢山の人に会う事ができました。 私にとって満徳寺は故郷です。
その満徳寺がこの先増々賑やかになるように祈ります。
１１年間私達に沢山の笑顔とアロハを有り難うございました。
これから日本に帰っても満徳寺スピリッツを胸に精進したいと思っています。
Translation of message:
Eleven years ago, I remember crying in the airplane on the way to Hawaii, wondering to myself, “why
do I have to go to Hawaii?” But today, it is hard to believe that it ever happened.
I did not think I would fall in love with Mantokuji so much.
Each day, each week, and each year passed by in a flash.
It was an eleven years that passed in a blink of an eye.
I was able to live to my fullest each and every day.
Each and every day was a happy day with a lot to smile about.
I was given the opportunity to learn many things and grow as a person.
I was able to experience many things that I would have otherwise not been able to if I were in Japan.
I was able to meet many wonderful people.
For me, Mantokuji is my furusato (kokyo), a special place in my heart.
I sincerely wish that this special place, Mantokuji, will continue to flourish and be full of energy.
I thank everyone for the many smiles and aloha you shared with us during the last eleven years.
Even after I return to Japan, I hope to live each day to my fullest with the Mantokuji “spirit” that is in
my heart.
Love Okusan
