TOO MANY STAIRS

Too many stairs so you cannot come to temple?

This is not so. Jodo Mission of Hawaii has a lot of

stairs HOWEVER, we do have an elevator to assist you.

The elevator is to help you get to the Nokotsudo or Colum-

barium or go to a service in the Hondo. Please contact the

office at 949-3995 before coming to the temple to say you

need to use the elevator and find out where the elevator is

located. The elevator is located on the seaside of the tem-

ple between the temple and the social hall building. Many

people are dropped off in the front of the temple only to find out after

they get to the office, there are two more flights of stairs to get to the

Hondo and the elevator is in the back. If someone is driving you to the

temple, please have them call the temple ahead of time so they are

familiar with the location of the elevator. Anyone can ride the elevator.

Barrier-Free Memorial Service: Memorial services can also be

held in Ikoi Hall which is on the first floor. There are restrooms at Ikoi Hall. Please

Heian Buddhism

In 784, the imperial capital was transferred from Nara to Nagaoka and in 794 from

there to Heian, the present-day Kyoto, where it was to remain nominally at least, until

1868. It is not entirely clear why the capital was removed to Heian. Possibly the grow-

ing influence of the Nara school and their hold on the court had something to do with

it. There is no doubt that as the power of Buddhism grew, its interest in secular matters

increased and it is probably true that Emperor Kanmu (782-805) decided to remove

from Nara at least partly in order not to be trouble with Buddhist bureaucracy.

Thus the transfer of the capital to Kyoto marked a turning point into only in govern-

ment affairs but also in the history of Buddhism. In the early in part of this period two

extraordinary men Saicho (767- 822, generally known by his posthumous title Dengyo

Daishi) and Kukai (774-853, commonly referred to as Kobo Daishi), separately estab-

lished in the vicinity of the capital two new schools, Ten-

dai and Shingon. The leaders of these schools were both

men who went to China (at this time under the T’ang

dynasty) to acquaint themselves directly with the latest

theoretical and practical developments in the world of Buddhism. A prominent

feature of both schools is their comprehensive and harmonizing character. In ac-

cordance with this orientation both sought to work out a system of thought in

which every point of view, Buddhist and non-Buddhist, could be assigned a

place in an all embracing synthesis. As these schools grew in strength and influ-

ence, the structures of thought they created served as the theoretical foundation

for the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism that later took place.

Tendai is the Japanese from of the Chinese T’ien-t’ai, at once the name of a moun-

tain in China, a temple situated on that mountain, and a school founded at that temple by Chi-I (538-597). It

was there that Saicho studied and from there that he returned to Japan to found the Tendai School. The Japa-

nese Tendai founded by him is quite different from its Chinese original, since it includes four branches of

Buddhism; Chinese proper T’ien-tai teachings, Zen practices, Buddhist disciplines of the Northern Tradition,

and Esoteric teachings. Japanese Tendai is not a purely esoteric type of Buddhism as is Shingon, which exclu-

sively taught esoteric teachings.

The most important achievement of Saicho was perhaps the establishment of Mahayana rules in order to

ordain novices in his own monastery at Mt. Hiei, independent of the clerical bureaucracy of the older schools

in Nara. Until his time, it had been compulsory for all Japanese priests to receive the rules of the Southern

Tradition of Buddhism. Since Saicho believed in the Northern type of Buddhism and followed Mahayana

teachings, it was quite natural for him to declare independence from the older tradition of obtaining precepts

at the ordination platform of the Nara schools. The priests of the old school strongly opposed his ideas, and it

was only after his death that his efforts to establish Mahanaya rules were officially recognized by the emperor.

Since that time, the Mount Hiei Tendai Center has grown to became one of the largest and most important

places in Japan for the study and practice of Buddhism. One indication of its influence is that all their power-

ful currents of the Kamakura period—Pure Land, Zen, and Nichiren—derive from Japanese Tendai Bud-

dhism. In this sense it can be said that Japanese Tendai is the fountain head of many Japanese Buddhist

schools and denominations. (To be continued)

Bits of Knowledge of Buddhism Vol. 22 St. Honen’s Exile from Kyoto (Part 1) (Nov. 2012)

By Rev. Yasushiro Watanabe

第22回 法然上人の配流【一】 (2012年11月)

およそ800年前,法然上人は仏さまの大いなる慈悲に気づかれて浄土宗を開きました。あらゆる人

に等しく救いの道を開く画期的な教えでした。お念仏の教えは,それまで救いの手が差し伸べられ

ていないと思われていた人々に多くの喜びと希望をもたらしました。

しかし,その念仏の流行を快く思わない人たちもいました。貴族社会に依存してきた守旧派です。

既成の体制にしがみついている人々にとって,すべての人に救いの道を開くお念仏の教えは,自ら

の存立基盤を揺るがす危険思想であり,まさに「不都合な真実」でした。その「真実」を覆い隠す

ために,彼らは当時の政府に念仏の禁止を求めました。さらに,念仏を勧める僧侶たちの悪口を盛

んに言いふらしました。残念なことに,彼らの思惑は功を奏し,些細な事件をきっかけに法然教団

への弾圧が始まりました。

あるとき,後鳥羽上皇が熊野の霊場へ行幸しました。その折,法然上人の弟子である安楽と住蓮

は,東山で六時礼讃という極楽浄土を讃える法要を催しました。美声で知られる安楽と住蓮の法要

に多くの人々が集まりました。中でも,宮廷に仕える女性二人は大いに感動して,菩提心を発して

出家しました。ところが,お念仏の流行を快く思わない官吏が,京都から戻った後鳥羽上皇に,法

然上人の弟子が宮廷の女官をたぶらかしたと讒言をしたのです。上皇はその報告を受け激怒して,

住蓮と安楽に死罪を命じました。さらに,法然上人は京都から遠く離れた四国へ流罪となり,親鸞

聖人もまた新潟へ配流されることになりました。こうして,浄土宗の教団とお念仏の教えは,最大

の試練を迎えることになります。(次回へ続く)

Vol. 22 St. Honen’s Exile from Kyoto <Part 1> (Nov. 2012)

About 800 years ago, St. Honen realized the great compassion of Amida Buddha and started Jodo Shu. Nembutsu is an epoch-making teaching to show everyone the

way to the Pure Land. And it has brought people much joy and hope.

However, some didn’t like the movement. They were “the old-guard” who deeply depended on the aristocracy. They thought that Honen’s movement threatened the ex-

istence of the old regime because Nembutsu was open to everyone—regardless of gen-

der, status, wealth, or education. In other words, Nembutsu was “an inconvenient truth”

for them. To cover up “the truth,” the adversaries tried to abolish Nembutsu. They spread damaging rumors about Honen’s group and pressured the government to ban

Honen’s teaching. Unfortunately, as they expected, a small incident caused a major sup-

pression of the Nembutsu movement.

The retired Emperor Go-Toba happened to make a trip to the Kumano shrine.

During his absence, his two maids joined a special Nembutsu service officiated by

Honen’s disciples, Juren and Anraku, who were famous for having beautiful voices.

These women were so impressed that they became nuns. On the emperor’s return, someone reported the story to him that Honen’s disciples had tempted his maids. The

emperor became so angry that he imposed the death penalty on Juren and Anraku.

Moreover, St. Honen was sentenced to exile in a distant province, or Shikoku. St.

Shinran, who was the founder of Hongwanji, was sentenced to exile in Niigata. Thus, the Jodo Shu faced the greatest challenge since its beginning. (To be continued)

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 ar-

ea. Since Japanese immigrants came to Hawaii from the various regions of Japan, cere-

monial 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.

you will need to know some day, we will be reprinting it from time to time as space permits.

Power of Sweet Potato Mark Nakamura, Hawaii Buddhist Council President, recently sent an article regarding the

power of the purple sweet potato, which we would like to share.

The purple sweet potato: The latest in a long line of poten-

tial Superfoods. The sweet potato coloring contains the chemical

anthocyanin, which is known to lower the risk of cancer and could

even possibly slow down certain types of diseases. The color is the

important part because the purple color is responsible for the amount

of anthocyanin in the potato. Scientists have already used two

strands of anthocyanin to treat colon cancel and found that the pig-

ment slowed down the growth of cancerous cells.

Anthocyanin, which produces, red, blue or purple colors in different types of food, can also be

found in blueberries, red grapes and red cabbage, however the specially grown purple sweet potato

has a higher concentration of the chemical than any other species of potato.

SWEET POTATO (Kamote) far exceeds the nutrition and health values of rice. Here are the

benefits of substituting rice with kamote:

1. Sweet potato is more filling and suppresses hunger pangs longer. It is also cheaper than

rice.

2. Unlike rice, it is easy to grow. It grows in backyards with or without fertilizers. Local

government executives can provide their poor communities with idle government land for planting

kamote which the entire community can share.

3. Unlike rice which needs to be eaten with a dish, Sweet Potato tastes good and can be eaten

by itself. Thus, substituting rice with sweet potato saves money for other needs.

4. Rice cannot match the nutritional values of potato. Because rice converts to sugar in the

body, many become diabetics. The poor tends to load up on rice and less on the main dish which are

more expensive. That makes them vulnerable to diabetes, an ailment known in developed countries

as a rich man’s disease.

5. The nutritional values of a 3 oz. baked sweet potato are: calories 90, fat 0 g, saturated fat

0 g, cholesterol 0 mg, carbohydrate 21 g, protein 2 g, dietary fiber 3 g, sodium 36 mg. Too much rice

consumption can make you sick, but sweet potato (kamote) can be healthy and keep away some

health problems. These have been proven medically.

Sweet Potato (Kamote) lowers hyptertension, bad cholesterol and even blood sugar when

eaten as a substitute to rice! The purple sweet potato (kamote) is particularly effective for low-

ering hypertension.

MAHALO and ARIGATO

THANK YOU to all who came out on Sun-

day, October 21, to assist with Bazaar prepara-

tion! Thank you also to everyone who came to help

take things out and all those who came during the

week of October 22 to October 27 to sort and price all the various items donated by temple members,

friends and relatives. It is hard work trying to dust,

sometimes wash or clean the item, price and present items so people could purchase them. Many people bring things in boxes, trash bags, etc. Then they

must be sorted. As you can see from the mountains of clothing below, there

are always a lot of clothing. We appreciate your help!

THANK YOU also to those who came out on Bazaar Day, October 28,

to help those who had questions, to help sell items, to help fold and fold again

the many tons and tons of clothing for sale, to help people finding a place to park the car, the cashiers who were most pressured when the lines got long and

someone had a lot of things to purchase. THANK YOU also to the many peo-

ple who made baked goods, tsukemono, pickled vegetables, spam rice, and

other treats. We appreciate you taking the time to make these items for sale.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME TO SHOP FOR BAR-

GAINS! What is one person’s trash is another person’s treasure! We

hope you had fun shopping and made friends.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

only women to do. Men are most welcome to help.

Presently, our only male helper is Gene Ikeda.

What is “Perpetual Memorial

Service?” (Eitaikyo)

This record of a perpetual memorial ser-vice and is called Eitaikyo in Japanese. When the date of death occurs for a person listed on this record, the ministers pray for that individual during the morning service. 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 8:30am.

How to apply

Stop by the office, and fill out the applica-tion form. Each name costs $200. After the application is accepted, the name will be listed on the record.

Watanabe Resident Minister

RELAX! Tips and ideas for

stress-management: Did you know

that 20 minutes of deep relaxation rests

the body more than four hours worth of

sleep? Simply taking a break from your

busy schedule to close your eyes and

breathe deeply can have a wonderful

effect on your ability to handle all your

responsibilities. Find a time that works

for you. Early in the morning, during a

coffee or lunch break at work, before

you begin your evening, or before going

to sleep, give yourself a few minutes.

Whether you call it a “power nap”,

“TPM” (Twenty-Five Peaceful

Minutes), or just a quick break, taking a

few minutes to relax every day gives

you the benefits of more energy and a

calmer frame of mind. [Peggy Miyamoto shared this from her Macy’s

Credit Union newsletter.]
