Lectures on the Otsutome Book

at Jodo Mission of Hawaii

November 1 and 22, 2015 10:00 a.m. Sunday Service

Please come to our Sunday Services on November 1 and 22, 2015

at 10 a.m. to hear lectures on the New Otsutome Book. As stated in the

“Foreword” to the New Otsutome Book, the Hawaii Council of Jodo Missions

(HCJM) in commemoration of the 800th Grand Memorial of

our founder Honen Shonin, decided to publish a revised ver-

sion of the Otsutome book which contained English translations of the

sutras by the late Bishop Dwight Ryokan Nakamura. The HCJM min-

isters organized a committee to revise the Otsutome book with Rev.

Shinri Hara as the editor-in-chief.

Unlike the previous Otsutome book, which separated the English

and Japanese sections, the two languages have been brought together

to make it easier for both those who are familiar with Japanese and

those who are not to read aloud and understand the passages of the

sutra. The new format consists of Japanese reading, Chinese charac-

ters, English pronunciation and English transla-

tion line by line in the hopes that everyone who

reads it will come to have a greater appreciation and deeper understand-

ing for Honen Shonin’s teachings as well as Buddhism in general.

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CAME TO THE BAZAAR on Sunday, October

18, 2015. The Bazaar doors opened at 8:00 a.m. but for some reason, some people like coming

early and the earliest person stood in line at 5:15 a.m. The weather was great on the day of the

bazaar as it rained the night before.

THANK YOU for coming and hope you found some wonderful things! For all those who

came to help, we cannot thank you enough. Also THANK YOU to all who came to help on

Sunday, October 11, 2015 for Bazaar preparation and taking all the stored things out. THANK

YOU TO the members, family and friends who came all week from October 11 to October 17

to sort and price items. THANK YOU so much for your time! There were people who left

things to be sold just outside the closed social hall doors for the Bazaar.!

H i r o s h i m a K e n j i n k a i

On October 3, 2015, the Hiroshima Kenjinkai came to Jodo Mission of Hawaii to

practice their Hiroshima yaki which is like an okonomiyaki (a savory delicious pancake

dish containing a variety of ingredients). The Hiroshima Kenjinkai will be making their

delicious Hiroshima yaki at the Ohana Festival at the Japanese Cultural Center in January

2016. Their group come to the Betsuin each year to practice. Years ago, this group

donated the sink in our garage area as well as the metal table in the garage area which we

use for our large gas pots for sushi making and during our Bon Dance. Below see photos

of the okonomiyaki:

val shortly after the New

Year 2016 begins and go to

the Ohana Festival and try

What is “Perpetual Memorial

Service?” (Eitaikyo)

This record of a perpetual memorial service and is called Eitaikyo in Japanese. When the date of death occurs for a person listed on this record, the minis-ters pray for that individual during the morning ser-vice. The prayers will continue each year for as long as Jodo Mission exists. Anyone can be included in it. You may put your own name on the list, too. This also helps when it is difficult to have memorial services. We also welcome you to attend the morning service at 8:30 am.

How to apply: Stop by the office, and fill out the

application form. Each name costs $200. After the application is accepted, the name will be listed on the

record.
