Parking Lot Has Been Repaved!
Please come and see our newly repaved parking lot! After 30 years, the parking lot is again like new! No more pot holes! There was a lot of time and effort and of course money involved in having the parking lot re-paved. Pacific International Paving, Ltd. did the paving. Special thank you to Elizabeth Karimoto of Blue Sky Realty who coordinated all the apartment renters with the special scheduling, i.e. where and when parking was available. Also, thank you to our neighbors, Shriners Hospital for Children and Hawai-ian Mission Academy for accommodating the apartment renters’ as well as our ministers’ vehicles when it was not possible to park on any part of the temple grounds. Thank
you also to Rev. Narashiba who was the contact person.
BON DANCE (August 16-17, 2013)
THANK YOU, THANK YOU to everyone who participated in our Bon Dance
held on August 16-17, 2013. There were so many, many people helping behind the scenes
and we really appreciate all your hard work. It is with everyone’s help that we can continue
to do this event. Without someone arranging with the bon dancers, getting the yagura up,
arranging for the stairway to get on top of the yagura, someone setting up chairs so people
could sit down, someone getting the omamoris, also someone selling omamoris, bon dance
towels, happi coats, kimonos, parking attendants, making and selling andagis (Okinawan do-
nuts), someone making and selling the Jodo Mission special shaved ice, someone making
and selling musubis, spam musubis, someone making and selling chichi dango, someone or-
dering and selling saimin, someone making and selling grilled BBQ sticks, someone making
and selling sushi, yaki soba, soba salad, pull pork sandwiches, someone making and selling
hot dogs, chili and rice, someone making and selling waffle dogs, hamburgers, someone
making sure that all the trash cans were not overflowing with trash, someone answering the
many questions people called about, including “how do I get to Jodo Mission?” or “where
can I park?”
Thank you also to the many, many dancers who came and had fun dancing. We could not
do it without you.
We hope everyone had time to catch up with old friends, made new friends, got together
with your relatives!!
Below, please find photos of some of those who participated in our Bon Dance.

Jizo Bon Prayer: Our Jizo-sama statue has
returned from Japan and is repaired. It is so
nice to see it at the entrance to Jodo Mission
of Hawaii. Above is Bishop Gensho Hara
and Rev. Kanjun Nakano conducting the Jizo Bon Prayer with our Goeka group of
Tomoko Hisamoto, Sophie Narashiba and
Yukari Narashiba performing prior to the
opening of our Bon Dance. Please note they
are just under the beautiful bodhi tree with
their beautiful leaves
Yagura Set Up: Ian, Jo Ann, Henry,
Glenn, Rev. Narashiba, Rev. Nakano
and Rev. Watanabe
Yagura set up also means
setting up the lighting
system. Above Ian,
Ryan and Jo Ann find
the hole for the light pole. The light pole is in
place!

Dulcie Yano and her husband Alvin Yano
came from Kauai to help the YBA group in mak-
ing spam musubi, musubi, etc. Alvin’s sister was
Carol Yano who passed away early this year.
Each Bon Dance, Dulcie would travel from Kauai and together with Carol’s cousin Amy Yano, they
would help Carol with the YBA. This year
Carol’s brother Alvin also made the trip and
helped out a lot with the chili—you could see him
traveling with pans of chili from the kitchen to
the social hall. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Come again next year!
Taiko Instructor Tsutomu Nakai and his stu-
dents performed before the dancing began. So
much talent!
Andagis (Okinawan donuts) are very deli-
cious! There are always long lines. Kay
Oshiro looks on as the Kawamura family
help fry andagis. Each year the Kawamura
family, Ono family, Masatsugu family and Yamauchi family come from Haleiwa to
help fry andagis. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH!
Faith Nekomoto comes each
year and helps Clifford at the
Choba table selling omamoris
and bon dance towels
Rocky Mishina came to help Clifford
at the Choba table. Jo Ann checked in with
Amy and Ralph getting
ready to sell saimin
Dancers going around the yagura.

better next year.

O-HIGAN SERVICE The word “Higan” literally means “the other shore” in Japanese. One shore represents the world we are in, and the oth-er shore “Higan” represents Amida Buddha’s Pure Land. The river represents the bad mind we all possess. The concept is that we practice the teaching to reach the other shore across the river.
We have two Higan seasons in a year. One in spring, the oth-er in autumn, as Higan is held during the week of the spring and autumn equinox. Shan Tao, one of the highest ranking priests of Jodo Buddhism in China said that the sun sets due west during the equinox thus it is a good opportunity to think about Bud-dha’s Pure Land which exists far away in the west, as well as appreciate our ances-tors who are also there.
Please join us for our Higan-e service and think about Amida Buddha’s Pure Land and our ancestors. Our Higan-e Service will be held:
Sunday, September 29 at 10:00 am
Chutoba prayers will be conducted during this service. If you would like a Chuto-ba prayer for your ancestors, please fill out the form on this page and send it or drop it
off at the Jodo Mission office by Sunday, September 15th. Thank you.
