Feral Chickens, Roosters and Poultry Fact SheetRyan Ozawa
From the City & County of Honolulu Department of Customer Service, addressing nuisance issues created by feral chickens in our community by helping to bring new attention, needed resources and a strong policy voice to the persistent concern.
Ryan Ozawa, a former student journalist, writes in support of HB1529 which relates to student journalists. Ozawa expresses that student journalists need experience with the rights and responsibilities of a free press without prior restraint. While freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences, professional advisors are important to help students understand the impact of their publications. Ozawa recounts his own experience launching an alternative student newspaper that faced challenges from the university administration but where the students ultimately prevailed in their First Amendment fight.
Implementation of the Uniform Information Practices ActRyan Ozawa
Hawaii Governor David Ige: "Effective citizen participation in state government requires timely access to information and appropriate opportunities for the public to provide its government with feedback and ideas. As part of this effort, I have already asked executive branch departments and agencies (“executive agencies”) to be accessible, hold community meetings throughout Hawaii, and work toward increasing community involvement in government affairs, including considering input from the public in decision-making."
Jodo Mission Newsletter - September 2017Ryan Ozawa
The Jodo Mission of Hawaii bulletin for September 2017 announces that its annual bazaar, normally held in October, has been postponed until March 2018 due to renovation work beginning on the temple's stairways.

Classes normally held in the temple hall will be cancelled or moved. The bulletin provides photos and explains that repairs are needed to the temple's concrete walls, stairways and ceilings since the building is 85 years old. It also announces upcoming observances and services in September.
The document summarizes a bulletin from the Jodo Mission of Hawaii. It discusses visits from bishops from Jodo Shu Headquarters in Japan who met with members.

Finally, it announces upcoming events at the mission and provides standard procedures for funeral services.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Chandra Dev: Unveiling the Mystery of the Moon GodExotic India
Shining brightly in the sky, some days more than others, the Moon in popular culture is a symbol of love, romance, and beauty. The ancient Hindu texts, however, mention the Moon as an intriguing and powerful being, worshiped by sages as Chandra.

VISION FOR THE FUTURE (5)
By Rev. Yubun Narashiba
Japanese Buddhism in Hawaii has a very unique cultural background.
In Japan, Buddhist customs differ from village to village, town to town,
prefecture to prefecture. This is because Buddhism has been localized to fit to the custom
in each area. Since Japanese immigrants came to Hawaii from the various regions of
Japan, ceremonial customs are different according to the area where the family came from.
However, as time passes, those customs are becoming unclear and more confusing for the
younger generations. Because of this confusion, younger generations seem to be going
away from Buddhism by saying that Buddhism is hard to understand. Therefore, in this
article, I would like to explain the standard procedure of doing a service. As the first, let me
show you the two common procedures of having funerals among the members of Jodo
Mission of Hawaii.
Note: Above two service procedures are purely for informational purpose. We shall honor your family customs and
decisions to arrange a funeral service.

4. Thank You to All Who Participated with O-Bon Activities
Thank you to all who attended our O-Bon Services. It is so nice to see so many fami-
lies come to pay respects to their deceased ancestors. For some of you, this may have been your
first experience. Hope you enjoyed our services, including the private services. Thank you also
for the many monetary and rice donations.
Thank you to all our ministers who performed the many O-Bon services (2 services
for Hatsubon families and 5 other O-Bon services). Thank you Bishop Gensho Hara and Rev.
Yubun Narashiba for conducting services on July 12 and 13 and Rev. Narashiba for the special
O-Bon Service on July 14. Thank you also to Rev. Nakano, Rev. Watanabe for your help with
O-Bon services. A special thank you to Rev. Koji Ezaki of Haleiwa Jodo Mission for his help
with the Friday services. So many families requested private services in front of their O-Tobas.
Thank you to Rev. Narashiba, Rev. Nakano and Rev. Watanabe who conducted these private
O-Toba services. Thank you again to all our ministers for your many hours of chanting
during our ancestors’ visit at O-Bon!
Thank you to all who came to help with the O-Toba set up and general cleaning on
June 30th. As you can see from the photos on this page, it is hard work to put the O-Tobas up.
We could not do it without your help! Hope you enjoyed yourselves and that while you worked
hard, you enjoyed the fellowship, which is very important.
Thank you to the Fujinkai ladies who prepared meals for the ministers and workers
during O-Bon. Thank you to the Sr. YBA for providing beautiful chrysanthemum potted
plants for sale.

O-Toba Set Up Photos
[Most photos were taken in 2012; but the same amount of
work and manpower is involved with the O-Toba set up]
It takes 2 men for each O-Toba - one to position and
holdthe O-Toba while the other pounds 2 nails to secure
the O-Toba. Above is Richard Murashige and friend work-
ing together. Left photo is Rev. Nakano and Clifford Miya-
moto working together
Both men and women volunteers carry O-Tobas. Above is Dean
Soma, Catherine Fujihana and Lianne Kitajima carrying
O-Tobas to be placed in their positions.
Many O-Tobas
are in the truck
waiting to be set
up. It was a
beautiful, sunny
day. When all
the O-Tobas are
set up—how
beautiful they
look on the Tem-
ple grounds!

Right is Doris Soma and Aki
Nishiyama at the sign-in desk. Diane
Okubo was at the Choba desk, how-
ever we did not have a photo of Diane.
Many families attend O-Bon service
Right photo is in front of the Segaki-dan. Seated are Debbie
Nakata, Tomoko Hisamoto, Sophie Narashiba, Yukari
Narashiba and Yoshiko Kitagawa. Goeka offerings are
done at the 2:00 p.m. services on Friday and Saturday.
[This photo was from 2012.]
After each O-Bon Service, ministers go through
each row of O-Tobas and give a prayer to each O
-Toba. Members also follow the ministers
through each row of O-Tobas.
Rainbow Pigeons Ceremony: This was our second
year in ending our O-Bon Services with the releasing
of Rainbow Pigeons to lead our ancestors back to the
Pure Land. [Again this year we do not have photos of
the Rainbow Pigeons flying. Perhaps by the next
month’s Bulletin, someone will share the photos they
took of the Rainbow Pigeons. Last year like this year-
Sophie Narashiba opened the cage to release the
pigeons: white ones, green ones, pink ones, orange
ones, purple ones—so beautiful!
Fujinkai Craft Fair
Honolulu Jodo Shu Fujinkai recently held its first out-
side vendor craft fair on Sunday, June 23, 2013. With the help
of Diane Okubo (who volunteers at the Betsuin office) approx-
imately 14 different outside vendors—selling Tupperware, baby futons, Nerium skin products,
hand designed earrings & bracelets, Thirty-One Bags and Accessories, Asian table lamps, ori-
gami pictures, money leis, pet products, Hawaiian salt seasonings, kettle corn, sterling silver
earrings, necklaces, polymer clay products, hair ornaments for Bon Dance, etc. THANK YOU

kimpira, tsukemono, pull pork sandwiches, vegetable salad, pasta salad, jams and jelly, brown-
ies, cereal mixes for sale. Everything was delicious! THANK YOU FUJINKAI LADIES
