Socho Koshin Ogui Opening Remarks
from 2009 BCA National Council Meeting
Buddhism for all people, including women and ordinary people
who lived in the villages and
towns. He sought a Buddhism
that was more than just tradition.
He sought a Buddhism that was
alive.
In order to prove or make an
example of this new way of life,
Shinran Shonin officially married, accepted fish and meat, and
lived among the ordinary people.
His revolutionary way of life was
not accepted by the traditionalist
Buddhist priests of his time. Because of this, his name was never
listed in the Kosoden record of
high ranking priest of that period.
Rennyo Shonin, the 8th Patriarch of our Jodo Shinshu school
was respected as an innovator of
our Shin Buddhist tradition during the 15th century in Japan.
Like Shinran Shonin, he propa-
President’s
Message
G
ood morning and welcome to the 2009 BCA
National Council Meeting. As the ministers and lay leaders of the BCA, I wish to thank
you for your dedication and leadership to our organization.
As you know, beginning in
April 2011, the Hongwanji in Japan will begin a 10-month observance of the 750th Memorial for
Shinran Shonin. As part of this
historical event, we will be observing our own national 750th
Memorial Observance for Shinran Shonin during the 2010 BCA
National Council Meeting next
year in San Jose, California.
Shinran Shonin, the founder
of Jodo Shinshu Shin Buddhism
was respected as a revolutionist
during the 12th century in Japan.
He retreated from his life of
“mountain Buddhism” to “ground
level Buddhism,” and sought a
T
gated Shin Buddhism among the
ordinary people like farmers, fishermen, merchants, and housewives. He strived to explain and
interpret the Shin teaching in a
simple way so that it could be understood even by the uneducated
among the people.
Both Shinran Shonin and
Rennyo Shonin did not hesitate
to change from traditional ways.
They both lived with a firm belief
that there is no progress without
change.
Today, we live in 21st century
America amidst a mixture of different languages, cultures and lifestyles. The question we must ask
ourselves is, “Given the diverse
make-up of the America we live in
today, what can we do to make
the teachings of Jodo Shinshu
Shin Buddhism and the Nembutsu resonate among the people of
today’s society?” As Kaikyoshi
ministers and lay leaders, what is
it that we have to do in order for
people to realize and be able to
say, “Yes, Shin Buddhism makes
sense! It is my religion, and it is
my family’s religion.” This is the
challenge that we face.
It is very easy and comfortable
to go back to things as they were,
or to stay on the same track. Yet,
it is almost always a challenge to
move forward, changing or trying
out new things out. It is also easy
to criticize or react negatively towards those who seek to change
or who are bold enough to try
something new.
But like Shinran Shonin and
Rennyo Shonin have vividly
shown us through their life’s
work, I also believe that there is
no progress without change. The
challenges that we face today are a
result of what we’ve done or not
done in the past. And what we
Socho Koshin Ogui
will have to face in the future will
depend on what it is we do now.
My dream, or “THE BIG
PICTURE” that I envision for
our future is to make Jodo Shinshu Shin Buddhism a major religious tradition here in America.
As you well know, my motto is,
“Anchu mosaku suru koto wo ikigai
to shi, shiko sakugo wo osorezu,”
or, “….to challenge oneself to
search amidst the uncertainties of
work and life, and not be afraid to
try new things out or make mistakes along the way.”
As the ministers and leaders of

What is BCA?
By Billy H. Saeki
BCA President
he Buddhist Churches of
America (BCA) is a California
nonprofit religious corporation, a
legal definition. As described in the BCA
Bylaws the National Organization is
composed of member temples and
churches, assigned ministers, affiliated
organizations, individual members, and
employees of the Buddhist Churches of
America. Individual members are defined
as all members of the member temples
and churches. So I am a member of BCA
by virtue of my membership with the
Venice Hongwanji Buddhist Temple in
Southern California. And you as a
member of one of the 60 temples/
churches in BCA are automatically an individual member of BCA. Therefore, as
stated succinctly by Dr. Gordon Bermant, past BCA president, “I am BCA!”
But why do we need BCA, the
national organization? What is the
purpose of BCA?
As stated in the BCA Bylaws, the
creed that governs the operation of BCA
is “…that each member shall honor and
hold the Three Treasures: Buddha,
Dharma, and Sangha as the foundation
of their lives, and follow faithfully the
teaching of Shinran Shonin according to
Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha.” Furthermore, BCA “…shall instill in its members the spiritual principles and teach-
ings of the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Faith
as practiced by the Jodo Shinshu
Hongwanji-ha, and shall foster and guide
the development of the religion in the
United States of America.”
In 2000 the BCA National Council
(the BCA legislative body) approved the
following mission statement that sets
forth the purpose of the Buddhist
Churches of America:
To Promote The Buddha, Dharma,
And Sangha
as well as
To Propagate The Jodo Shinshu
Teachings.
And in 2001 the BCA National
Council approved the following goals to
help us fulfill the intent of our mission
statement:
Shin Buddhism as a major religious
tradition in the United States
A thriving Jodo Shinshu ministry
Self Reliance
Service to the greater community
The mission statement, goals, and the
strategies that were adopted by the 2002
National Council form the BCA’s master
plan. BCA has moved forward on several
fronts since 2002. Accomplishments
include but are not limited to the
following:
• Campaign BCA – 21st Century has
received gifts totaling over $15 million
in cash and pledges
• Opened the Jodo Shinshu Center in
Berkeley, California in August 2006
• Minister’s Assistant Program
established and ongoing
• Center for Buddhist Education
established and ongoing
• Institute of Buddhist Studies
located in Jodo Shinshu Center with
increasing enrollments
These accomplishments have been
achieved because of the hard work of our
BCA staff, ministers, and you, the
members.
What is BCA? I am BCA!
PAGE WHEEL OF DHARMA
The Secret Difficulty – or the
Difficult Secret? – of Buddhism
Rev. Harry Gyokyo Bridge, Buddhist Church of Oakland
I
’m going to let you in on a secret – Buddhism can be
very difficult and confusing. This makes sense when
you realize that there are so many things to learn! Not
only do we learn about the life of Shakyamuni Buddha, but
there are other Buddhas as well! The history of Buddhism
begins in the Indian subcontinent and spreading throughout Asia and now the world, making it that much more difficult. I could go on and on, but I will restrict myself by just
mentioning the famous Buddhist lists: Three Poisons,
Three Treasures, Four Noble Truths, Six Paramitas, Eightfold Path, Twelvefold Chain of Causation, not to mention
the Thirty Seven Conditions that Contribute to Awakening! Oh, and can’t forget all the technical terms in various
languages such as Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese and Japanese.
Some might say that I shouldn’t dwell on the negative
aspects of the study of Buddhism, and to a certain extent I
agree. But I also think that it is important to recognize this
difficulty. I have often heard people tell me they feel guilty
that they don’t know enough about Buddhism. One of the
most common statements is: “I went to Dharma School and
have been going to temple for years but I feel like I don’t
know anything about Buddhism!” Similarly, I remember
when I was at the Institute of Buddhist Studies studying to
become a minister, there were often times that I felt intimidated and overwhelmed by the amount of information I
had to learn. Would I ever be able to learn everything I
need to know? How would I know whether or not I had
reached that goal? What if I couldn’t?!!!
At some point, however, I realized that even my teachers didn’t know everything. For example, one teacher might
be an expert in one specific area, but not as knowledgeable
about the finer points of Shinshu doctrine. Another could
be incredibly knowledgeable about Japanese Buddhism but
not so much about Indian Buddhism. Basically, it is proba-
bly impossible to know
EVERYTHING
about
Buddhism. It may seem
obvious, but it was a big
step for me to realize
this.
Instead, I think that it
is more important to live
and experience the teachings of Buddhism. An intellectual knowledge of history or doctrine won’t necessarily help us in our lives. It is putting the teachings into
practice in our daily life that allows us to truly learn about
Buddhism – this is how the teachings become a part of us.
In fact, in the collection of letters entitled Lamp for the Latter Ages, Shinran Shonin relates an incident that he witnessed involving his teacher Honen:
“I recall hearing the late Master Honen say, ‘Persons of
the Pure Land tradition attain birth in the Pure Land by becoming their foolish selves.’ Moreover, I remember [seeing]
him smile and say, as he watched humble people of no intellectual pretensions coming to visit him, ‘Without doubt
their birth is settled.’ And I heard him say after a visit by a
man brilliant in letters and debating, ‘I really wonder about
his birth.’ To this day these things come to mind.” (Collected Works of Shinran, 531)
Of course, this does not mean that we give up and stop
studying Buddhism. On the contrary, it makes us listen
that much harder and reflect on our own lives, returning
again and again to listen to the Dharma and try and put the
teachings into practice in our own lives. Perhaps this is the
secret – listen to the Dharma, try and live what you have
learned, and if you fail, it’s OK, go back and listen and try
again. The best part is that it isn’t a secret at all – Jodo
Shinshu is open to anyone and everyone.

Gomonshu Koshin Ohtani’s Essays in English
The Buddha’s Wish for the World
A
mong the singular events that
mark the worldwide celebration of Shinran Shonin’s 750th
memorial, few are as joyful for us in
America as the publication in English
of Monshu Koshin Ohtani’s book The
Buddha’s Wish for the World. How
fortunate we are to have the Monshu’s wisdom available to us at this
time.
The book appears as a result of cooperation among numerous individu-
als and groups, including of course
Monshu Ohtani himself, the Hongwanji International Center headquarters in Kyoto, the Buddhist Study
Center in Honolulu, the Orange
County Buddhist Church Buddhist
Education Center, and the American
Buddhist Study Center in New York
City. Moreover, all BCA members
have the opportunity to participate by
making a contribution to ensure the
wide dissemination of this important
expression of Monshu’s wisdom.
The Buddha’s Wish for the World
was originally published in Japan in
2003 with the title Ashita ni wa kogan
arite. There are thirty-six chapters addressed to specific questions and concerns. The book begins with a question: Tell me friend, why do you suppose
we are alive? Monshu Ohtani acknowledges that there is no easy answer to this profound question of exContinued on Page 6

PAGE 2nd Annual TechnoBuddha Conference at JSC
Reconnecting Gen Y Buddhists (click by click)
On April 4 and 5 at the Jodo
Shinshu Center in Berkeley, 45
participants attended the TechnoBuddha Conference, sponsored by
the Center for Buddhist Education.
It was the second annual conference targeting 21 to 39 year olds —
people who are “grown but not
necessarily grown-up” and are interested in Buddhism.
This year’s theme, TechnoBuddha, focused on our generation’s
experience with technology and
how it might affect our experience
with Jodo Shinshu Buddhism. Reverend Harry Bridge, a young minister well-versed in the advantages
and disadvantages of techonologybased life, was our keynote speaker.
He even used his iPhone for notes!”
– Christine Chin and Lorin Kagehiro (Read more online at www.
cbe-bca.org)
While the conference had a
strong base in Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, it also offered other elements important for our age demographic. In addition to an Intro to
Photo credit: Kevin Kobayashi
Jodo Shinshu workshop and a
workshop on talking to friends
about Jodo Shinshu, participants
were able to attend workshops in
Self Defense, Personal Communication, and Financial Planning.
Workshops were led by Reverend
Seigen Yamaoka, Reverend Ken
Yamada, Artie Yamashita, Cindi
Rivera and Derek Seo. Each speaker generously donated their time
and prepared workshops that were
relevant for us. We met many new
friends and were able to spend time
with old ones, connecting over
meals we prepared in small groups
and other social activities.
TechnoBuddha was a wonderful experience. We are so grateful
for the chance to learn, share ideas,
and eat together. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s
conference happen. And hope to
see you all next year!

PAGE WHEEL OF DHARMA
From Three Characteristics
to Nirvana in the Buddha-dharma
“Although the Final Separation is Certain…”
Rev. Dr. Hoshu Matsubayashi,
Rimban Seattle Betsuin
A
famous Japanese novelist
Soseki Natsume stated in
the beginning of his
book, Kusa-makura (A Grass
Pillow), that:
“If you are too intellectual,
you will antagonize with others.
If you are too emotional, you
will lose yourself. If you push
too much your own way, you
will feel uncomfortable. How
difficult it is to live in this
world of people. Yet, there is no
place where we can escape. If
there is a place where we can
escape from this world, we can
go only to the world without
people. To live in the world
without any people is much
harder than the world of
people…
If you eliminate your blind
attachments from the difficulties in the world of people, you
will realize the peaceful world in
gratitude. Such spiritual
enlightenment will be reflected
in your poem.”
When I was young, I used to
enjoy reading the many writings
of Soseki Natsume, who had
studied English literature in
England. The writing above
almost became my philosophy
of youth. His inspiration also
guided me to understand the
three characteristics of Buddhism:
1) Everything is constantly
changing.
2) Everything exists
interdependently (selflessly).
3) Everything does not go
along with one’s wishes.
These characteristics of
Buddhism are described
beautifully in the beginning of
Tale of Heike that
“The sound of the bell of
the Gion Temple echoes the
impermanence of everything.
The color of the flowers of the
Sala Tree teaches the principle
of changes…”
New Tanka poems of the
Seattle Tanka Poem Society
were published in The North
American Post on February 4,
2009. In the beginning, I found
the Tanka poem of our Dharma
friend, Mrs. Fusako Kusumi.
Two years ago, Mrs. Kusumi
won the honorable mention in
the All Japan Mannyo Tanka
Poem Contest. I always enjoy
reading her Tanka poems in the
local Japanese and English
Newspapers. Her poem was:
Although the final separation
from loved one is certain,
your warmth will remain in
my heart forever.
I thought that her poem
reflects Soseki Natsume’s
philosophy of life. Her poem
reflects the spiritual awakening
of a peaceful world. Separation
from a loved one is the truth
and reality of our changing
world. With such a realization,
she was awakened to the eternal
compassion in her heart and I
felt her peace and happiness in
her poem.
Dr. Kitaro Nishida, a
famous philosopher in Japan,
stated in his philosophical book,
A Study of Good, that:
“The religious demand is the
demand with regard to the self;
it is the demand concerning the
life of the self. It is the demand
wherein at the same time that

In 1999, Wendie shared a

Family Choir of the Orange
County Buddhist Church. A few
years went by and the OCBC

our self perceives intellectually
its relativity and finiteness, it
joins with the absolute and
infinite power, and desires, by
means of this, to acquire the
true life of eternity.”
Dr. Nishida reminds us that
the essence of religion is the
realization of the relative and
finite self and we become one
with the absolute, infinite, and
eternal power.
Shinran Shonin taught in
his Jodo Shinshu Buddhism
that people, who have a finite
earthly life, should be awakened
to the primal vow (power) of
Amida (Infinite) Buddha. We
become one with the compassion and wisdom of Amida Buddha. This unity with Amida
Buddha’s compassion is a life of
the Nembutsu, Namo Amida
Butsu.
Shakyamuni Buddha, the
founder of Buddhism, taught us
how we can be enlightened in
this world. In the world of
enlightenment, we are able to
find true peace and happiness in
the life of the Nembutsu. Namo

Awaken in Amida’s Light
One of Honpa Hongwanji
Hawaii Betsuin’s newest choir
members, Wendie Yumori, had
the honor of having her composition, “Awaken in Amida’s
Light” performed by the Betsuin
choir at the recent Dharmachakra Festival at the Jodo Mission
in October and that the HHHB’s Thanksgiving service at the
end of November.
Wendie wrote the gatha in
1996 for a close friend at the
Vista Buddhist Temple near San
Diego, California. This friend
had recently been diagnosed
with cancer and was suffering
from the severe side-effects of
his chemotherapy treatments.
His wife said that his only respite from the pain was only
when he was able to sleep. Wendie kept thinking about this
friend, and, although she had
never tried to compose a song
before, she began to write a gatha
for him. When “Awaken in Amida’s Light” was completed,
Wendie taught it to a group of
temple members and they were
able to sing it, full of feeling, for

Wendie and her husband,
Roy, moved to Hawaii in October of 2006 right after they retired from their jobs on the
mainland. They had previously
lived in Hawaii from 1972-1992.
They settled back into their
house in Kaneohe that they had
been renting out while living in
San Diego. Roy and Wendie began attending HHH Betsuin services at the end of 2006. Inspired by the presentations of
the Betsuin choir during special
services, following the Hana
Matsuri service in 2007, Wendie
approached Mrs. Saito asking to
join the choir. She continues to
enjoy her involvement with the

he sangha members from
the Palo Alto Buddhist
Temple, the Buddhist
Church of San Francisco, and the
San Mateo Buddhist Temple gathered as one in the Nembutsu on
March 29 to commemorate the
750th Anniversary Memorial of
Shinran Shonin.
This Bay District event was
hosted at the Palo Alto Buddhist
Temple and the service included
participation from all three temples: the three resident Ministers,
four Minister’s Assistants and five
Youth Minister’s Assistants.
Insightful and inspiring dharma talks were given by Rev. William Masuda (PABT), Rev. Ron
Kobata (BCSF), Rev. Ryuta Furumoto (SMBT) and Youth M.A.
Sydney Shiroyana (PABT).
Immediately following the service, a tri-temple panel discussion
in English was conducted in the
hondo with the theme, “How has
Shinran’s teaching affected my
life?” We were graced by guest pan-
elists: Jack Dairiki (BCSF), Joyce
Miyamoto (PABT) and Tosh Saiki
(SMBT), each explaining how Jodo
Shinshu has personally and uniquely shaped their lives. The breadth
of experience shared by these generous temple members was deeply
moving. Rev. Ryuta Furumoto led
a discussion for the Japanese speaking members in PABT mini-chapel.
Following the panel discussions, everyone gathered in the social hall for a wonderful (and delicious) celebratory meal which was
prepared in collaboration between
the three temples.
A special note of appreciation is
extended to Susan Bottari (event
planning), Rev. Matsuda (service
planning), the Palo Alto Sangha
(for making us all feel so welcome),
and to all who participated through
their attendance, collectively making this a day of remembrance and
gratitude.

PAGE The 24th Conference of the World Fellowship of
Buddhists: Focus on Socially Engaged Buddhism
By Kenneth Tanaka
Musashino Univ., Tokyo
A
sakusa is usually
known as the town
that symbolizes traditional Japan, but for four
days, November 14-17,
2008, it became the site of
the 24th Conference of the
World Fellowship of Buddhists (WFB).
Although I served on
the planning committee of
the symposium segment of
the conference, I was not
quite prepared mentally for
such a large gathering of
Buddhists from around the
world. A total of 312 delegates from 23 countries and
another 450 Japanese delegates participated at the
height of its program. All in
all, a total of 1,500 people
participated. Virtually every major schools and
branches of Buddhism was
represented by their respective monks, nuns, priests
and/or laypeople.
This conference was
hosted by the Japan Buddhist Federation (JBF),
which is comprised of 58
major traditional denominations or their 75,000
temples and monasteries in
Japan. Among them is our
Nishi-Hongwanji Branch
of Jodo Shinshu School. In
fact, the current Chairman
of the Board of JBF is Rev.
Taisei Toyohara of the
Hongwanji Branch. This
conference was the first
time in 30 years and the
third time (previously in
1952 and 1978) that Japan
had hosted this biennial
conference.
The Japan Buddhist
Federation (JBF) is a member of World Fellowship of
Buddhists (WFB). The first
WFB conference took place
in 1950 when the WFB was
founded. Today the WFB is
headquartered in Bangkok,
Thailand with 146 regional
centers. As its parallel organization, there is the World
Fellowship of Buddhist
Youth (WFBY), which also
held its conference in conjunction with its parent organization.
Since this was my first
such conference, I had no
way of evaluating this conference, but some “veterans” of these conferences
pointed out that this one
distinguished itself from
past conferences in its clear
focus on the socially engaged
issues. Their assessment was
supported by the fact that
the theme of the conference
was “Buddhist Contributions to Resolving Social
Problems.”
On the 15th (the main
day of the conference) a
film entitled “The Economics of Happiness” was
shown in place of the usual
keynote speaker. This film
was inspired by Ms. Helena
Norberg-Hodge, the Director of the International Society for Ecology and Culture. Her film critiqued the
negative consequences of
globalization in favor of localization, which she ar-
gued was more in keeping
with the Buddhist values
and worldview.
Following the film, I
moderated a panel of distinguished members who
responded to the film. Besides Helena NorbergHodge, the panelists included Joanna Macy, an
American Buddhist teacher
from Berkeley, California,
writer and activist engaged
in issues of environmental
and social justice. Another
panelist was A.T. Ariyaratne, the founder and
president of the well-known
Sarvodaya
Shramadana
Movement in SriLanka, the
world’s largest spirituallybased people’s development
movement. The fourth panelist was Reiko Yukawa, a
noted music commentator
and lyricist in Japan; in recent years, she has become
more outspoken on such
social problems as war and
environment.
In the afternoon, the
people were able to attend

two of the seven symposia
on the following social issues: Youth, Suicide, Gender Equality, Spiritual Care
for the Dying, Peace, Environment, and Social Development. With 4 panelists
and a moderator for each
symposium, a total of 35
specialists from throughout
the world took part. What
made the symposia distinct
was the panelists were practitioners with extensive
hands-on experience in
their respective fields. They
brought passion and commitment to their message.
The website of the Japan Federation Buddhists
summarized their evaluation as follows:
“We believe the success
of the symposium resulted
in a rare opportunity to
look for new ways to make
a difference as Buddhists
inspired the participants to
take action that would
change the world beyond
spiritual boundaries.”
As a side note, I could
not help but take note of
the fact that about 30% of
the panelists and moderators came from the U.S.,
Europe and other nonAsian countries. It symbolized for me the extent to
which Buddhism is no longer just “a religion of Asia.”
In serving as the moderator of the Environment
symposium, I tried to steer
the panelists away from theContinued on Page 6

ood morning everyone. My name
is Brandon Yanari,
and I would like to briefly
talk about the past experiences as a Buddhist youth
that have brought me to
where I am now. Since I was
a young boy, my parents
and grandparents instilled
Buddhist lessons in me.
They would teach me to be
appreciative by telling me
to say please and thank you.
They would teach me to be

And they would teach me to
be kind and gentle by telling me to stop picking on
my brother. They also made
me go to Palo Alto Buddhist
THE
Temple every Sunday, even
though I often times did
not want to. In fact, as a
child, I was quite the troublemaker…I remember at
one service, instead of listening to Rev. Abiko’s
Dharma Talk, I drew on the
walls with crayon…but
that’s another story…
It was not until the end
of middle school that I really began to get involved
with Buddhism. My 8th
grade summer, I went to a
Jr. YBA Retreat in San Luis
Obispo and was amazed at
how friendly the members
were. This event got me
hooked to YBA, and Buddhist activities with YBA
became my life during my
high school years. In addition to participating in
Dharma School taiko, choir,
and the temple band named
“Bad Karma,” I attended
many Buddhist conferences, retreats, and workshops

the BCA, let us become a people that
take action and are not afraid to be criticized. This only means that we are trying to do something. The person who
does not take action and is criticized is
another matter. Do not become a person who is always crying about decreasing membership or the shortage of ministers.
We now have 64 certified Minister’s Assistants, over 40 youth Minister’s Assistants, and 16 individuals who
are eligible to take part in a Tokudo ordination workshop. This is certainly
one step towards helping us to solve the
issue of the shortage of ministers. Let’s
continue to create programs that help
us progress forward and meet our challenges.

during that time. At first, it
was mostly for the social aspect: to meet people and see
friends. But at every Buddhist event, there was always
some Buddhist teaching that
stuck with me. For example,
I remember at a conference
in Southern California, I
heard Rev. Marvin Harada
say that life is like toilet paper, in that you are not really
aware of it until you are at
the end of the roll, and ever
since then I have not only
cherished having a full roll of
toilet paper in the bathroom,
but also realized that I should
enjoy the present life, as time
is passing by quickly. I also
distinctly remember at a Bay
District Family Conference,
Bishop Socho Ogui gave a
talk using only five different
words, which I later ended
up using as my senior quote
in the high school yearbook.
The talk went: “Today is not
yesterday. Today is not tomorrow. Today is today.”
This also stressed the importance of living in the present
moment, and I was surprised
that such a meaningful message could be said in such a
short quote.
Because of meaningful
messages like these at Jr. YBA
activities, I started getting
more and more into the Buddhist aspect. In fact, looking
back at the last Fresno conference I went to, my favorite
parts would have to be the
guest speaker and workshops,
whereas when I was a freshman, I enjoyed the icebreak-

Shinran Shonin?
“Nyorai daihi no ondoku wa, mi wo

We all continue to enjoy the legacy
of the hard work of our Issei pioneers,our
Kaikyoshi ministers, and our many lay
ers and dances a lot more,
showing that my attitude towards YBA events did change
in favor of Buddhism rather
than just the social side. In
my senior year of high school,
I was then presented the opportunity to go to the 3rd
Annual Youth Advocacy
Committee (YAC) Retreat.
When I heard that it was going to involve intensive Buddhist and Youth Minister Assistant training, I was a little
apprehensive, but I decided
to give it a try. After a week
of Buddhist education, onaijin etiquette, and living with
11 other Buddhist youth at
the Jodo Shinshu Center, it
turns out that the YAC
Threetreat (as we called it)
was one of the greatest, if not
the greatest, Buddhist experience that I have had. I learned
so much about Jodo Shinshu
Buddhism and am glad that I
am able to assist my home
temple minister, Rev. Masuda, when called upon to ring
the kansho or accompany
him on the onaijin. The YAC
has really helped in providing
a way of Buddhist youth involvement that is different
than YBA. Having participated in the retreat, summits,
reunions, and an educational
trip to Hawaii my knowledge
has expanded about Buddhism as well as leadership in
the Buddhist community.
For instance, on the trip to
Hawaii, I witnessed differences and similarities of Jodo
Shinshu Buddhist life between Hawaii and the mainland. I made friends with Hawaii YBA-ers, and learned
some interesting (and some-
members who lived with this spirit and
built the temples that we have today
despite the difficulties they faced and
the poverty amidst which they lived.
It is difficult for us to make progress when we are faced with a BCA
Campaign where only 37% of our
membership has pledged, even the recommended minimum amount of
$1,500 over 5 years (which comes out
to $300 per year). It is also difficult to
make progress when opposition is
voiced over a $1 or $2 increase in the
annual BCA assessment.
Let me conclude my talk with a few
questions: “What kind of followers of
Shinran Shonin and Rennyo Shonin
are we?” “What kind of Sangha members of the BCA are we?” “Can we
awaken the spirit of Shinran Shonin
and Rennyo Shonin in the 21st Century?”
Yes we can.

Dr. Alfred Bloom and Dr.
George Tanabe. It was an experience I’ll never forget, and
I really thank everyone that
made it possible.
Taking a look back at my
transformation from being
an uninterested “temple-defacing” child to a “Buddhist
Youth Leader of Today,” it is
quite amazing how the different activities and experiences
have shaped my life. This
brings me to the question of
“where am I now?” As I have
alluded to before, I am a
Youth Minister Assistant,
and am more involved in services at Palo Alto Buddhist
Temple. I would like to further pursue Buddhism in the
future, and am maybe even
thinking about becoming a
Minister’s Assistant. I also
like to consider myself a Jodo
Shinshu Buddhist college
student because I keep the
Dharma in my life even when
I am away from my home
temple. I live close by to the
Jodo Shinshu Center and
Berkeley Buddhist Temple
and go to service when I am
able to and not busy with
school. Also, Buddhist practice is present in my college
life. For example, I always
wear my ojuzu and say Itadakimasu even when I am eating lunch in the dining commons at UC Berkeley…by
now my friends are used to it.
I have a mini-obutsudan in
my apartment room as well
as Buddha posters on my
wall. I also keep in touch

BCSF Chicken Bento Oil Fuels

The next time you cross the Golden Gate
Bridge and see a scooter motoring along one
of the walkways, think - BCSF Chicken Bento. The oil used to fry the latest batch of
chicken was donated to the Golden Gate
Bridge District to fuel their fleet of bio-fuel
vehicles. Our oil will be used in the experimental scooter, pictured above with Craig
“Greaseman” Dodson, the facilities and equipment superintendant at the bridge district.
Recycling the approximately 40 gallons of oil

ples. But most importantly, I
try and keep the Dharma in
my head as a college student.
The concepts of being
aware of the moment and
gratitude were mentioned a
lot in our workshops with
Rev. Nori Ito and Rev. Tetsuo Unno during the conference we were a part of over
the weekend. Such ideas are
constantly present in my everyday college life. There are
many instances where I am
swamped with schoolwork
and club or taiko jobs…but
instead of monku-monkuing, I try to tell myself to live
in the present moment, for
there is no other like it, and
that I am lucky to even be
able to do all of these things
in my life. The interconnectedness of YAC, YBA, my
family, the BCA ministers,
Bishop Socho Ogui, and
what I consider the Buddhist
community has really motivated me to become the Jodo
Shinshu Buddhist youth that
I am today. I am so grateful
for all of the experiences, as
well as all those who made
those experiences possible
that have led me to where I
am at this moment. For Jodo
Shinshu Buddhism is my way
of life, and it would not be as
happy or fulfilling a life as it
is now had it not been for
these enlightening Buddhist
experiences,
interdependence, and change.

oretical discussions on the Buddhist philosophy
such as “interdependence.” I wanted them to speak
more concretely, which is why the topic of the symposium was, “A Buddhist Approach to Practical Solutions to the Environmental Crisis.” We agreed in advance that we did not want to
get caught up in the often-heard self-congratulatory
talk about how Buddhism is more environmentally
friendly than Christianity. As its result, I feel that
we Buddhists often fall into the trap of doing very
little. I pointed out that the industrialized countries
that have done the most environmentally in recent
years are the North European countries, represented
by Sweden. And in those countries Christianity is
the dominant religion!
For our panel on the environment, we had two
of the people previously mentioned, Helena Norberg-Hodge and Joanna Macy. The third member
was Rev. Hidehito Ōkōchi; as a resident priest of a
Jōdo-shu temple in Tokyo, he shared his activities
that included the installation of sun panels at his
temple and other environmentally beneficial activities in the neighborhood. His passion and enthusiasm was infectious.
The fourth panelist was Sorrayut Ratanapojnard, a professor of Biology at a university in Thailand. He expressed the urgency of our need to take
steps to deal with the impending environmental
devastation. What was impressive about him was his
decision to forsake his professorship to become a
monk (later in 2009) in order to direct his full attention to the environmental solutions from a Buddhist perspective.
Finally, Joanna Macy, whose vast experience in
running workshops to empower people worldwide
to action, left us with the message of hope and empowerment. She encouraged every human being to
feel that he or she can do some good rooted in the
spirit of “Buddha nature,” even though at times we
feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of the crisis before us.
So, as Shin Buddhists, let us all find that hope
and empowerment in awakening to our interconnectedness with nature and all living beings, which
represents immeasurable life. And it is this immeasurable life that makes us part of what we call, Amida!

istence. Indeed, the struggle for an answer is part of
the answer: “the beauty of the human enterprise is
the very fact that we struggle with the question of
how to live a meaningful life.” Monshu advises us to
take our time in contemplating our answer to the
question he poses. To aid our contemplation, he
proposes a subtle answer: Our life is a gift wished
into existence.
Through the remaining chapters Monshu guides
and challenges us with powerful questions and provocative answers, including for example Parents do
not choose their kids anymore than kids choose their
parents and Other power does not mean counting on
others. And the 36th chapter, preceding an epilogue,
announces a truth basic to all Buddhism without exception: All things are interconnected with one another—this truth is called Pratitya samutpadda. In this
way, the first and last chapters form a circle: to begin, we are alive through countless causes and conditions fairly expressed as a gift of the universe. At
the end, we see that dependent causality is the source
of life, consciousness, suffering, and, when comprehended, release from suffering.
No doubt many readers of the Wheel of Dharma
will want to contribute to the successful dissemination of Monshu’s book in its English edition. Individual contributions of any amount are gratefully
accepted. Contributions of $1,000 or more will be
acknowledged specifically in the book itself. Contributors at this level will also receive a copy of the
book with a special seal from the Nishi Hongwanji.
