Sermon by Rev. Kanjun Nakano Given on April 24, 2011

Japan, the Japanese people, and the whole world were transformed at one moment on March 11. The cry of the earth pushed us all into sorrow and despair. But, we must remember that the earth is alive. The inside of the earth is molten. It has tre-mendous energy. We are only tiny creatures living on the surface of the great earth. Human beings can never overcome the power of the earth. Natural disasters, caused by the great heat at the core of the earth, remind us that the earth is living. These disasters create terrible situations for all creatures in the disaster areas, but the earth continues to be alive. The alternative is that the earth dies and becomes cold. Then all of earth’s creatures will die. The earth must live so that we exist. However, the earth sometimes causes earthquakes, tsuna-mis, and volcanic activity as powerful evidence of being alive. So, what will we do? We cannot do anything to change the earth’s inner heat, movement, or power. We can only steadily recover from the disasters that these things cause. This is the history of human beings. However, we can change our hearts to make the world a better place. We can show mercy and kindness to others. We can help and support each other and hope for peace. Before anything else, we must love the earth. And we can crate strong families. I believe that Japan will be restored. But, it will take a long time. And from now, the next chapter in the history of Japan starts. Also, we must begin a new chapter of hope for all human be-ings.

Bits of Knowledge of Buddhism Vol.06 “Five Elements” (June. 2011)

By Rev. Yasuhiro Watanabe

Beginning last month, I’ve been busy writing O-Toba. It is derived from the traditional tomb stone, or Gorin-to. The Gorin-to means “a five rings tower.” Each ring represents a stage. As you look at the picture, you will see a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, a hemisphere, and a jewel-shape from the bottom. The shapes symbolize earth, water, fire, wind, and sky. Please note that “sky” actually means void or emptiness, which is one of the most im-portant concepts in Mahayana Buddhism. These five elements stand for all things under the sun, and the characters of each stage are carved on the surface in Sanskrit. That is why Gorin-to as a whole embodies the Enlightenment of Buddha and represents the Buddha’s world itself. The Japanese put urns inside their family’s tomb, and we pray that the deceased will rest in perfect peace in the bliss of Amida Buddha. O-Toba is a brief version of Gorin-to. You can find the same five charac-ters of Sanskrit above your ancestor’s names on the O-Toba. By mak-ing O-Toba, we show respect and thanks for the deceased, and we pray for their happy and peaceful life in the Pure Land.

I would like to thank my friend for sending this picture of a Gorin-to to share with you. It was taken at Kannouji Temple in Tokyo. Page 2

Vision for the Future (3) By Rev. Yubun Narashiba

Quiz: Do you know the title of the following story?

ONCE upon a time there was an old man and his old wife living in the country in Japan. One day the old woman went to the river to wash some clothes. No sooner had the old woman begun her washing when a big peach come floating down the river. She pulled the peach out of the river and took it home. The old woman brought a big knife from the kitchen and was getting ready to cut the peach in half in front of her husband. Then, suddenly the peach split open, and a beautiful baby boy jumped out of the peach. The old man and woman were very happy, and they took the baby to be their son.

Did you get the answer?

Yes! The title of the story is "Momotaro the Peach Boy!"

When Momotaro was about fifteen years old, he decided to go to the island named Ogre Island and defeat the ogres there who were doing bad things to the villagers. Momo-taro began his journey to the Ogre Island.

As he went along, he met a dog, a monkey and a pheasant. They all decided to come along with Momotaro to fight against the ogres.

When they came close to the island, they could see many, many ogres.

First, the pheasant flew over the walls of the fort and be-gan to peck at the ogres' heads. The monkey slipped up and opened the gate of the fort. Then Momotaro and the dog rushed into the fort and started fighting the ogres too.

It was a terrible battle! But at last, the ogres were com-pletely defeated. They all bowed down low before Momotaro and promised never to do wicked things again.

How happy the old man and woman were when they saw their son return safely from Ogre Island! They returned all the treasure to the villagers, and they all lived together very, very, happily.

****************************************************

I wanted you to remember this story because according to Mr. Akinori Kanda's article in the Diamond Weekly Business Magazine, this is the ideal business model. According to him, to make a project very successful, you need a strong leader like Momotaro. He is sometimes reckless but he has ideas, energy and courage. The dog is the symbol of person of positive mind. This type of person always helps and encourages the leader especially when a project is started. The Mon-key is the supervisor. This type of person is strict with numbers and details. Though this person sometimes cannot get along with the leader, this person has lots of knowledge and is good at sys-tematizing the work. The pheasant is a coordinator. This person is a good organizer for a semi-nar or workshop, or even a party.

There are many ways you can help your temple. Which one are you? Momotaro, dog, monkey or pheasant?

MOTHER’S DAY MESSAGES

Dear Mom, I love you Mom. I love her because she does things that children do not do like: cook food, wash clothes, wash dishes, and help me with my homework.

My Mom hugs me and tells me she loves me very, very much every morning in the bathroom and in the bed-room before I go to sleep. My Mom helps me clean up my toys, but my Mom scolds me if I don’t clean up and makes me cry. I enjoy making brownies with my Mom be-cause when my Mom puts it in the oven, there is a little bit leftover in the bowl and I get to lick it and it is so, so, so yummy. Happy Mother’s Day!

Takeru’s Mom’s message to her Mom in Japan: Mom, Do you remember that your grandson, Takeru is 6 years old now? When we went to Japan to see you, he was 5 years old. I wanted you to see him every year but I don’t think that we can go back be-fore he turns to 7. Every time he talks about you, I remember how much I miss you. It is difficult to pretend not to notice my feelings to you and Japan, even I should do it now. I hope everything is okay and we can see you in Oshogatsu, next year. Love, Makoh - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Carrie Say, a new member to the Temple wrote a poem dedicated to her Mom Yu Zhen Zhong:

The Peach Monkey Caring for Three Floating in constellation of three, Hanging from a single red thread,

Each is shining bright as cubic stones, Having anything but a single dream, Each is piercing with great ambition,

Aspiring to find a place, In a growing world,

All is lead by, Unity.

Everyone was a contest winner!

[Editor’s note: Due to space in Bulletin, cute drawings by children and photos were not included. Apologies. Thank you.]

Miso Helps Protect Body Against Atomic Radiation and Heavy Metal Poisoning (reprint from May 2011 Bulletin)

What is miso? Miso is a fermented soy food and is one of the world’s most delicious, versatile and medicinal foods. Miso for centuries has been known as a folk remedy for weak digestion, cancer, radiation sickness, tobacco poisoning, acidic conditions, low libidio, and several types of intestinal infections. Miso’s reputation as one of nature’s most healing foods is being confirmed by modern medical science. These studies show what folk healers have known for centuries. It is not any one particular component of miso that makes it such an effective healing food but rather a complex combination of ingredients and a unique double fermentation process that transforms soybeans and grains into a potent medicine.

Dr. Shinichiro Akizuki, director of St. Francis Hospital in Nagasaki during World War II who spent years treating atomic bomb victims just a few miles from ground zero did not suffer the usual effects of radiation. Dr. Akizuki hypothesized that he and his associates were protected from the deadly radiation because they drank miso soup every day.

It has been reported that European countries imported truckloads of miso from Japan af-ter the Chernobyl nuclear plant incident.

MESSAGES TO JAPAN

We would like to thank those who wrote messages for the East Japan Earth-quake, Tsunami and Nu-clear Disaster victims. Since some messages were personal ones to Rev. Oeda whose temple is in Sendai area, your messages were translated into Japanese and sent to Rev. Oeda’s temple to be shared with the victims of the damaged area.

With these notes, the people of Eastern Japan know that we too are think-ing of them. THANK YOU!

About Miso There are four major flavors of Miso. They are White Miso, Red Miso, Mixed Miso, and Hatcho Miso. Actually, the ingredients are almost the same for these four kinds of Miso, but the manufacturing processes differ. 1. White Miso is made from boiled soy beans. The taste is sweeter than other kinds of Miso. This is called “Shiro Miso” in Japanese. 2. Red Miso is made from steamed soy beans. The taste is stronger and saltier than White Miso. This is called “Aka Miso” in Japanese. 3. Mixed Miso is the mixture of White Miso and Red Miso. The proportion of blending is different according to Miso factories. This is called “Awase Miso” in Japanese. 4. Hatcho Miso is made from steamed soy beans, soy bean yeast, salt and water. Its color is darker than other kinds of miso and the taste is very concentrated.

Recipe with Miso (#2) Mochi Miso Soup Ingredients:

3 cups water 1 pkg dashi no moto 2 T miso 1 c daikon, shredded 1c carrots, shredded green onions, minced (for garnish) Procedure:

1. Bring water and dashi no moto to a boil. Lower the heat when it comes to a boil. 2. Peel the daikon and carrot. 3. Using a grater, shred carrot into long shreds and add it to the pot of dashi. Then

shred the daikon like the carrot and add it to the dashi too. 4. Bring it to a boil and cook for approximately 3 minutes. Skim the foam from the boiling broth. 5. Dissolve the miso into the pot of broth. 6. Prepare the mochi. If using frozen mochi, rinse them in water first then mi-

crowave them for 30 seconds on each side. (The time will vary according to your microwave oven.) They are ready when soft to the touch.

7. Add mochi pieces to the pot of soup. When the soup begins to bubble, turn off the heat.

8. Place one mochi in each serving of soup. Garnish with green onions. Enjoy!

ZEN BUDDHISM In the documentary A Zen Life, we learned how scholar D.T. Suzuki helped to introduce Zen to a west-ern audience. Zen intrigued philosophers and seekers yet perplexed laypeople to its true essence. Can Zen help us better understand ourselves or is it just an ar-chaic spiritually practice? What role does Zen have in the 21st Century? On Friday, June 24, 2011 you are invited to join us for a conversation about Zen Bud-dhism and to seek answers to these questions. Poranee Natadecha-Sponsel, professor of Religion and Philosophy at Chaminade University will moderate a conversation with lo-cal zen practitioners on the topic of what is zen and how can it be brought into our every-day lives? We will meet in Ikoi Hall at 6:00pm. Join us for refreshments and discussion im-mediately after following the panel discussion. This is part of our Buddhism 2.0 series where we explore Buddhism and its relevance to our modern times. EVENT: Panel Discussion about Zen Buddhism DATE: Friday, June 24, 2011 TIME; 6:00 pm PLACE; Jodo Mission of Hawaii (Ikoi Hall)
