- 1. (#1236-0716) JodoMissionofHawaii Bulletin-JULY2016 JodoMissionofHawaii 1429MakikiSt. HonoluluHI96814 AddressServiceRequested O-Toba Set Up & Temple General Cleaning Sunday, July 3, 2016 at 8:00 a.m. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! Below is the beginning of the O-Toba set up. The O-Toba foundation were being set up little by little so when the day for O-Toba set up comes, it will not be difficult to see where the O-Tobas should be placed. We must set up 500+ O-tobas on July 3rd. Please help! Thank you. O-Bon Service Schedule Friday, July 15 10:00 am (Hatsubon only) 2:00 pm & 7:00 pm Saturday, July 16 10:00 am (Hatsubon only) 2:00 pm & 7:00 pm Sunday, July 17 10:00 am It takes a lot of people to set up the O-Tobas. Please come to help. To bring the hundreds of O-Tobas out to the front lawn, it takes manpower. To set up each O-Toba, it takes at least 2 persons, one to hold the wooden memorial stick and one to pound the nails to secure the wooden tablet. Please come!
- 2. O-Bon Service Schedule O-Bon Services will be held as follows: Friday, July 15 - 10:00 am (Hatsubon Families Only) 2:00 pm & 7:00 pm Saturday, July 16 - 10:00 am (Hatsubon Families Only) 2:00 pm & 7:00 pm Sunday, July 17- 10:00 am Sign up for O-Bon Service will begin 1 hour before 2 pm and 7 pm services. This is on a first come first serve basis. NO phone orders will be taken. Closing Service will be on Sunday, July 17 at 10:00 a.m. Cleanup will begin shortly thereafter. Parking Attendants Needed: We are in need of at least 6 parking attendants for each 2 pm service on July 15 and July 16. Please call Jodo Mission at 949-3995 if you are able to help direct cars to parking spaces. We appreciate your help. O-Toba Service Appointments: If you wish to have prayers offered in front of your O-Toba, appointments will be accepted (no appointments during ser- vice hours): Tuesday, July 5 to Thursday July 14: 8:00 am to 9:15 am Fri/Sat July 15-16: 8:00 am to 9:15 am; 11:00 am to 1:15 pm 3:00 pm to 6:15 pm Sunday, July 17: 8:00 am to 9:15 am Offering of Rice: During O-Bon Services it is customary to offer a bag of rice. However, monetary donations in lieu of rice are acceptable. “Rice” envelopes are available in the office. Thank you for your understanding and support. Sr. YBA O-Bon Flower Sale: Please help the Sr. YBA by purchasing a beautiful potted chrysanthemum ($2.00 each). NO phone orders will be taken. Thank you for your support. Friday, July 15: 9:00 am to 7:30 pm Saturday, July 16: 9:00 am until sup- ply runs out Offerings at your O-Toba: The space allowed for each O-Toba is approxi- mately 6 inches width and 7 inches in depth. Space is so precious! See photo at right. In 2014 someone was quite creative! Many family members visit the O-Tobas and bring offerings. Some are very organized and stack their offer- ings neatly in layers. It takes coordination among the various family members. Most people will offer foods that the deceased liked, i.e. fruits, mochi, pastries, candies, somen for long generation life, juice, soda. Cucumber and eggplant: Some people will have a cucumber and eggplant on wooden sticks telling our ancestors to quickly back to this world and the eggplant (cow) to slowly return to the pure land and see you again next year. The most important thing about ordering an O-Toba is to make sure you visit your O-Toba. If you are ill and cannot visit your O-Toba, please make sure you let your relatives know so maybe they will make an effort to visit your O-Toba.Page 2

On Janu- ary 17 we saw a 15 minute film. There is also an hour DVD. Also in attendance was Jane Kuwahara, a pro- ducer of the film; Penny Acheson, another volunteer, Audrey Kuramoto and Nate Gyotoku, employees of the JCCH. One story Les mentioned was at an internment camp in December 1942, a Sgt. Lancelot Moran pur- chased Christmas cards and postage stamp for everyone at the internment camp so they could write to their loved ones for Christmas and every- one was so appreciative of Sgt. Moran’s kindness. It was their best Christmas! They brought with them copies of the DVD as well as books that were available at the JCCH. They encouraged everyone to visit the JCCH and see the display on the Internment as well as Okagesama de. Do you know of any students or adults who are willing to perform at our Sunday Services? If you know of a student or an adult who can play a musical instrument, i.e. piano, ukulele, guitar, flute, etc., sing, dance the hula, ballet, Japanese dance, etc. and would like to perform at one of our Sunday Service, please contact Rev. Narashiba at 949-3995. We would like to see students especially or any adult share their talents before Amida Buddha and our members. Sharing one’s talents can be enlightening to every- one! We can all learn what a bassoon looks like and how it sounds, we can learn about classical music, Hawaiian music, Japanese mu- sic, see and hear a shamisen, see and hear a koto, see and hear an ukulele, etc. We can also learn about Hawaiian music through the hula. Hawaii is really a unique place. When students go to college outside of Hawaii, other students want to learn the hula or sing some Hawaiian songs or have a luau or want to know what is a luau!
- 4. In preparation for Bon Dance: The Honolulu Jodo Shu Fujinkai is looking for manpower for Bon Dance. Most of the ladies of the Fujinkai are in their 70s, 80s and 90s and when the sun goes down, they go home. We could use your help on the day of the Bon Dance, Friday and Saturday August 19 and 20 in the mornings and early after- noon for cutting vegetables for yaki soba, stuffing sushi rice into inari cones and packaging them for sale, assist with maki sushi, they also could use your help in lifting rice pots or helping wash dishes. In the evenings, your help would be needed to sell the products made or to help serve turkey jook yaki soba. Also, we will make oshi- zushi and also make variety packs of different sushi. This year new member Chinatsu Maeda is thinking of making gyoza for sale. Whatever time you can spare, please call Sally Hayashi at the temple on weekends at 949-3995 or leave a message and she will call you back. In order to make all these inari sushi on this page, it takes a lot of peo- ple stuffing and packaging them as well as cooking and cooling the rice, adding vinegar and vegetables. Your help is needed! Thank you. YBA could use your help with screwing the delicious BQ meat! It takes a lot of people to screw BQ sticks. So if you have some time, please contact the Jodo Mis- sion office and leave your name that you are willing to help! They also can use some dish washers during the evenings. B o n D a n c e What do you think of Bon Dance - This is a time when family and friends get together to remember our ancestors, dance to the music of the Taiko drums and eat delicious foods!

- 5. HOLD MEMORIAL SERVICES for Your Loved Ones’ Date of Passing In Buddhism, memorial services are observed on the date of passing, which comes every year, and at the anniversaries, which come every 4-6 years (please refer to the chart of anniversaries as posted on the right). At the memorial services, the family offers flowers, food and incense to Amida Buddha and their loved ones. Of course these offer- ings are meritorious, but it is most required that the family willingly recite “Namu Amida Butsu (I take refuge in Amida Buddha)” bear- ing sincerity toward the deceased person. It is an opportunity for the family to honor the deceased person as well as to clarify the meaning of their lives, by learning the imper- manent nature of life and appreciating the link of lives of their ancestors. Services can be observed at Jodo Mission of Hawaii or at your home altar.

Kanjun Nakano. Rev. Nakano explained that the violin is made out of wood and it has a varnish on it and it is the varnish that helps make the sounds. It is an instrument that comes from Italy. Sara and Rev. Nakano practiced many times and their performance was excel- lent! Everyone enjoyed it. Above is a photo of Sara, her parents, Edward and Janet Toma, and Rev. Nakano. After the performance, there was a delicious lunch prepared by the Fujinkai ladies: Sekihan musubi, ume and daikon leaf musubi, nishime, tsukemono, namasu, miso fried chicken, cherries, watermelon, jello dessert, zenzai (azuki beans with mochi). What a special luncheon! And what a special Father’s Day!
