Transitions

Many of us at one time, or another, go through some kind of transition or transitions. It may not be a spiritual

transition, but the end result is that these transitions lead us to who we are today. The Merrian-Webster Dictionary defines “transition” as “a passage from one state, stage, subject, or place to

another.” Another definition states “a movement, development, or evolution from one from, stage, or style to anoth-er.”

Growing up, I can remember music, or how we listen to music, has gone through many transitions. I remem-ber records, 8-track tapes, tapes, and now we have mp3 players. Who would ever thought a single electronic had the capabilities of storing 15,000 songs? I don’t even know that many songs! Or at least I don’t think so.

Often times in religion, we don’t talk too much about the transitions many founders went through or did in order to be who they are. We know that the historical Buddha, Shinran, and Jesus all walked this earth, and yet we often do not spend too much time on the transitions before enlightenment, before being exiled, or growing up.

It is very important to focus on these aspects. The aim or religion is to explain the meaning of life through nar-ratives. From this, beliefs are formed about who we are and human nature, and from there develops morals, ethics, and our lifestyle.

The end result is a natural byproduct called out faith. Recitation of the Nembutsu, hearing sermons, sūtra chanting, and art all have profound practical and psychological aspects in our lives that lead to a better understand-ing of ourselves and strengthen of our spiritual needs. For example, our recitation of “Namo Amida Butsu” leads us to a statement and declaration of appreciation for everything that goes on in our lives.

In order for us to understand WHY this brings meaning, we need to understand the historical points that lead us to say this powerful recitation. What is the intention? What is our intention as we try to understand their transi-tion? How does their transition play a role in my life and how to I apply that into my life?

For many of us, the answer is not as straightforward as it seems. It is in how we respond in answering these questions that are of most importance. The Teachings of Buddhism allow us to discover who we are and not who we have to be and helps us to triumph all of life’s difficulties and realize gratitude in our daily lives. With transitions as our foundation, we better understand and face first hand, the ability to experience life full on and help us to deal with our own transitions.

Aloha Everyone! Good news! Our Hongwanji future is in good hands! Congratulations to high school graduates Evan Babcock and Sean Hayase! We enjoyed their Baccalaureate Luncheon with family, friends, and joyful Sangha members! We’ve watched these young men grow from diapers to manhood, and how time flies! Much to my delight when I inter-viewed both men, their closing thoughts at the end of the program were: “to spread the dharma message through-out the world, and to give back to the community.” We look forward to supporting them on their journey of con-tinuing education, career, and community involvement. Hope to see them visit us once in a while and keep in touch. Big news! Our Gomonshu Otani will be visiting Hawaii in September, and we hope that you will sign up to partic-ipate in the State Lay Convention Conference at Aiea Hongwanji, for fun, fellowship, and on Saturday, Sept. 9th lunch time, meet our Gomonshu! Then on Sunday, Sept. 10th, at 2:00 PM, at Honpa Hongwanji, you can receive your Buddhist Name, homyo, at the Confirmation Ceremony performed by our Gomonshu. Please join us for a memorable conference. Call me at 291-6151 or email: renemansho@hawaii.rr.com to sign up! Humanitarian news! Our Hongwanji Ohana is stepping up interest and participation in helping Hawaii’s Home-less. Dean Sakamoto, Chair of the Social Concerns Committee and I attended the ALEA Bridge (helping Wahiawa, Mililani, and North Shore) meeting for the Wahiawa Homeless Alliance, and we will be asking our members to help. We learned that the homeless in Mililani are found: Waikalani by bridge & park, sometimes by transit, town center, library, Foodland. We learned that ALEA volunteers try to reach out to help homeless get services and housing. So nice how our values of compassion make us good partners in the community. Fun news! Thanks to the MRRL Team (Membership Recruitment Retention Leadership) for planning the re-cent Buddha Bowling Bash at Leeward Bowl! From gutter balls, to spares and strikes, we laughed so much and frowned so much! We made history! 34 Bowlers! 7 Oahu temples: Aiea, Mililani, Pearl City, Waialua, Waianae, Waipahu, Wahiawa!

Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii HEADQUARTERS UPDATE

(Go to Mililani Hongwanji’s website for complete update.)(

GREEN HONGWANJI INITIATIVE 65 Shades of Green: How much do we love our planet? At the 2016 Hongwanji Legislative Assembly, the temples voted to try and become more environ-mentally responsible and, as an expression of our Buddhist values, take actions to save our plan-et. At the recent 2017 Hongwanji Legislative Assembly, held in February, the first “Green Hongwanji Survey” was shared for all temples to assess how they are doing and get ideas on how to improve. Twenty-two temples (about 65%) have completed their surveys so far. Hopefully, 100% will join in this effort. Here are the results for the top 11 temples (plus Pacific Buddhist Academy & Hongwanji Mission School). The total possible points are 65, so even for the top scoring temples there are plenty of new ideas to implement in the coming year. The survey is a self-assessment to help temples de-termine “their shade of green”.

COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL CONCERNS The Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii presented donations in March and April to the various Food Banks throughout Hawaii. Reverend Kazunori Takahashi (President, Kauai Hongwanji Council) pre-sented donations to Mr. Kevin Moniz of the Kauai In-dependent Food Bank and to Ms. Michelle Panoke of the Hawaii Food Bank, Kauai Branch. Dean Sakamoto (Committee on Social Concerns) presented a donation to Mr. Gerald Shintaku of the Hawaii Food Bank (Oahu). Donations were also pre-sented to the Maui Food Bank and the Food Basket (Hawaii Island Food Bank). 2017 YBICSE PARTICIPANTS The following individuals are selected as delegates of this year’s YBICSE (Young Buddhist International Cultural Study Exchange) from Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii. They will travel to Japan to participate in the Honzan’s program in July where they will get to meet with other participants from US Mainland, Canada, and South America. Participants (9): 1. Chloe Oshiro (Mililani Hongwanji) Chaperones (2): 2. Alexander Babcock (Mililani Hongwanji) 1. Rev. Tomo Hojo (West Kauai Hongwanji Mission) Seven (7) others state-wide 2. Ms. Elaine Saiki (West Kauai Hongwanji Mission) An essay for participation in the YBICSE program is required. Here are excerpts from Chloe and Xander’s essays:

What I like about Buddhism is that it is an opportunity to con-

stantly improve yourself. It is a religion unlike any other. I myself

believe in science, and that science is always right. I think that Bud-

dhism somewhat has that in it. It is the most realistic religion. We

believe in impermanence, all things grow, and die. I think this value

helps me to live in the now. Like the saying ichigo ichie. One oppor-

tunity, one encounter, for this time, never again. I love this phrase,

because people these days can tend to get caught up in the past, or

future. I fall victim to this as well. But through Buddhism I have

been able to live more by ichigo ichie, to live more in the present. I

know that everything that happens now will only happen once. I also

love the concept that everything now, including myself is all because

of certain circumstances. I am here because of my parents. They are

here because of their parents, and theirs, and theirs, and so on. I am

here because of my great-great-great-great-grandpa and grandma. If

they had done one thing differently, perhaps everything would be

different. We are all interdependent. For these reasons I like Bud-

dhism.

(Xander Babcock)

In general, I like the values that Buddhism teaches such

as compassion, gratitude, interdependence, and imperma-

nence. These values are incorporated into my everyday life.

When I was younger, I did not understand Buddhism or any

of its values. But upon reflection, I realize even if I did not

know it, these values were a part of my personality since I

was young. Buddhism has been integrated so much into my

life that it is a big part of me. If I did not have Buddhism in

my life, I would be a completely different person.

Compassion and kindness are especially significant in

my life. Timber Hawkeye, the author of the book, Buddhist

Boot Camp, said, “All the happiness in the world stems from

wanting others to be happy.” My greatest take away from

Buddhism is that it keeps me happy. Happiness is a result of

having Buddhism in my life.

On May 2, BWA members and Reverend Fujimoto visit-

ed residents at Wahiawa Nursing and Rehab Center. After a short service, Rene asked the residents to say their name and their favorite food. Some of the answers were adobo, sushi, and everything! Then Rene played her guitar and the BWA ladies and residents played musical instruments while singing patriotic songs, and a Mother's Day and a Father's Day song.

It was really nice to see residents smile and sing along with us!

April 22nd was a beautiful day for a service and cleaning of the Ehimemaru Memorial at the Kakaako Waterfront Park. Twelve BWA members, Rev. Fujimoto and Warren scrubbed and cleaned the memorial followed by a short service. Then the group went to the Old Spa-ghetti Factory for lunch and enjoyed great food and camaraderie. The BWA collected a $362.00 offertory on April 16 at the Eshinni/Kakushinni Service. Thank you to all of you for your generous support. The offertory is designated for youth activities; this year the collection will be awarded to Chloe Oshiro and Xander Babcock to subsidize their travels with the YBICSE program this summer. At the last BWA meeting, the BWA ladies added an additional amount to bring the total to $500.00.

Our next visitation to the Wahiawa Nursing and Rehab Center is on July 4th. We welcome everyone to join us for a short ser-

vice and participate in a program with the residents.

Congratulations to Evan Babcock Recipient of the 2017 Kyodan Scholarship

Mililani High School senior Evan Babcock was awarded the 2017 Kyodan Scholarship of

$1,000. Evan is the son of Sangha members Roger Babcock and Jill Kyhos. The Scholarship Committee of Sha-ron Freitas, Rev. Jan Youth and Chair Clifford Togo were impressed with Evan’s community service, leadership roles and academic achievements. The award presentation was made on May 7th after service. The scholar-ship award is partially based on an essay. Below is an excerpt of Evan’s essay.

“My membership at Mililani Hongwanji started when I was an infant so I have been attending the temple for service and activities since before I can even remember. I cer-tainly have a strong connection with Buddhism and I always love to learn new things about the religion. I feel that Buddhism has had a huge impact on my life and my per-spectives on life. Although I have been to mass with my best friend multiple times and listened to Catholic sermons, nothing has touched or been able to relate to me as much as Buddhism. For example, Buddhism taught me acceptance, gratitude, and imperma-nence all throughout my life. I believe that this has had a positive impact on the way I live my life. The teachings are not the only thing that make Buddhism so great. The sense of community as a Sangha is also something I am very grateful for. The Sangha is full of amazing people who always love and support one another. I have made lots of new friends in the temple and the temple feels like a welcoming home to me. Attending Mililani Hongwanji has shaped me into the person that I am today and for that I am very grateful.”

The Dharma School year just flew by! Our last Dharma class is on Sunday, June 11th. We will be celebrating the year with ice cream sundaes! We will also recognize our students for all of their hard work and dedication attending Dharma School and our events, as well as announcing our DSTO Poster Contest Winners.

The month of May was filled with fun and crafts while learning about the Dharma. Gay Tanaka showed our students how to make pretty pa-per flowers for their mothers and grandmothers on Mother’s Day. Students also created works of art with beads to give as unique gifts. On May 21st, the students reviewed how the eight spokes on

their yummy Dharmachakra pizza represent the Eightfold Path. After our Gotan-e service on May 28th, the students reviewed the life of Shinran Shonin and tested their knowledge with a game of “Shinran Twister”.

Thank you to Dan and Danny Noia for serving as May emcees representing the Dharma School. And looking ahead to the next Dharma School year, we will again kick off the year with a fun day at the Wet 'n' Wild waterpark on Sunday, August 6, 2017. Be sure to mark your calendars! A sign-up sheet is posted on the tem-ple bulletin board. Thank you to our Kyodan for their support of the activity.

Baccalaureate 2017 By Susan Oshiro, Baccalaureate Committee Chair

On Sunday, April 30th, our Sangha, along with family and friends, gathered to honor 2017 Mililani High School graduates Evan Babcock, son of Roger Babcock and Jill Kyhos, and Sean Hayase, son of Neil and Melody Hayase at our annual Baccalaureate service. The service is traditionally held to honor our high school graduates and provide them spiritual guidance as they enter into adulthood. It was a wonderful celebration as we wished these two young men well as they embark on the next phase of their lives. We also acknowledged Marissa Uehara, daughter of Keith and Lea Uehara who will be graduating on June 11th from Seattle University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Admin-istration.

We started the day with our special Baccalaure-ate service conducted by Rev. David Fujimoto, who was joined by special guest, Xander Babcock (Evan’s younger brother) who led the Vandana and Ti-Sarana. Board member and current high school teacher Zakry Akagi-Bustin served as the emcee for the service. The high-light of the service was the Baccalaureate message giv-en by guest speaker Megumi Makino-Kanehiro, who is Jill Kyhos’ cousin. Megumi is director of the Manoa Ad-vising Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and

shared her inspiring talk that included stories from her work with university stu-dents along with a spiritual message to Evan and Sean but was also relevant for all in attendance. After being showered with lei and congratulations, Evan, Sean, along with family,

friends, and the Sangha moved the celebration to the Education Building for the Baccalaureate luncheon program. Ann Ishika-wa was the luncheon program emcee and kept everyone happy and entertained. A long stand-ing tradition of the Baccalaure-ate program, is the sharing of photos of the graduates in a col-lage and slideshow by their par-ents. Jill, Roger, Melody, and

Neil shared photos and stories of their sons. It was a great trip down memory lane as both Evan and Sean grew up attending temple. The attendees were also treated to a musical performance by Mililani’s Hongwanji’s own “Jammers” group. A big mahalo goes out to the hard working Baccalaureate Committee--Roger, Claire, Rev. David, Warren, Ann, Dennis, Dean, Gordon, and Rev. Jan. Thanks also to Raimi

and Rene for their assistance during the service, the crew who helped with set up, and the entire Sangha who helped make the cleanup speedy and efficient. And finally, our best wishes to Evan as he gets ready for college life at the University of New Mexico, majoring in Civil Engineering, and to Sean, who will be closer to home, as he plans to attend Leeward Commu-nity College and pursue a career involving computers, possibly cyber secu-rity. As Rene Mansho mentioned in her message to Evan and Sean, you are always welcome at temple and will always have a home at Mililani Hongwanji!
