MINISTER’S MESSAGE

2

Revealing Our True Self Stories from many diverse cultures often depict universal truths in a concrete way. They be-come food for thought and reflection beyond their immediate impact. A story I read about an Arab judge caught my attention, opening, for me, another dimension of Buddha-dharma in our everyday life. There was a wise and sagacious judge who was highly respected by the people he served. One day a shopkeeper came to him to complain that many of his goods were being stolen from his shop, but he was unable to catch the thief. The judge then commanded the door of the shop to be taken off its hinges, carried to the open market place, and given a hundred lashes because it had failed to do its duty of keeping the thief out of the store. A large crowd gathered to see this strange sentence being carried out. When the lashes had been administered, the judge stooped down and asked the door who the thief was. He then placed his ear to the door so he could better hear what the door had to say. When he stood up he announced, “The door declares that the burglaries were committed by a man who has a cobweb on the top of his turban”. Just then the hand of a man in the crowd shot up to his turban. His house was later searched and all the stolen goods were recovered. This short, amusing story struck me: All it takes is an incidental word of flattery or criticism to reveal our true self, which we often think is held in check. Of course, our true self, or ego, is a necessary burden we need in order to survive in this competitive world. At the same time, how-ever, it can be the source of our anger, greed, and ignorance. In this story, the wise judge as-sisted the robber in revealing his true, greedy, ignorant self. The needs of our ego-driven pride and delusion are often difficult to detect, but when we en-gage in a process of honest self-reflection and self-examination we may discover acts of self-deception and flattery, which have prevented us from seeing the reality of our true nature. For example, one morning I heard my wife laughing to herself as she was getting ready for work. ”What’s so funny?” I asked. “I feel like a Christmas tree that I have to decorate every day.” Such simple moments of self-awareness can become an occasion for further self-understanding and self-awareness and lower the delusory walls to our true self. Such insights open our mind to the true nature of our being and others, joyfully and even playfully. Revealing our true self is at the heart of the selfless workings of Buddha-Dharma expressed as Namu Amida Butsu, which calls us to live authentically and thankfully with greater insight and acceptance, sincerity and loving-kindness. Namu-Amida-Butsu. William Masuda May, 2016

According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, a “town hall meeting” is an informal public meeting, func-tion, or event derived from the traditional town meetings of New England. Typically open to everyone in a town community and held at the local municipal building, attendees generally present ideas, voice their opinions, ask questions of the public figures, elected officials, or political candidates at the town hall. Your temple Council Board meetings are held on the second Sunday of each month in the social hall. Temple members are welcomed and encouraged to participate in discussions. Our next meeting will be on Sunday, June 12th at 11:00 a.m. Our Long Range Ad Hoc Committee had its first meeting on May 25th. The committee was created to look into our temple’s future. Declining membership, increasing costs to operate our temple, and man-power shortages, are some of the major concerns that we now face. We need to plan ahead for the future. Thus, the committee will be scheduling several discussion sessions in the coming months. We encourage members to attend and help us plan your temple’s future. In Gassho,

PARENTS’ DAY SERVICE – MAY 8, 2016 At Makawao Hongwanji, we celebrate Parents’ Day on the second Sun-day in May. Yes, the flower shops and card stores announce in big letters, “Happy Mothers’ Day!” But remember there wouldn’t be any MOTHERS without FATHERS. So, Dharma School cooked up a Pancake Breakfast and invited everyone to celebrate PARENTS. Everybody has PAR-ENTS, right? Our guest speaker for this special day was Mrs. Kiyo Masuda. She shared a Cherokee tale of two wolves and a children’s story, A Big Guy Took My Ball by Mo Williams, about right view and right conduct. Practicing The Eightfold Path, provides us the way to reach Happiness and

Peace. But we have to keep on PRACTICING. If we think of a “Father” of Makawao Hongwanji, we think of Rev. Chikai Yosemori who helped the Paia Hongwanji Sangha get the finances and manpower to build a new temple in Makawao. In honor of Rev. Yosemori , who passed away on April 13, Edwin Yamamura sang, “Seiya (Splendor of an Evening Sky)” which in part says, “… hearing this, my lonely heart, fills with lasting peace.” Thank you to Kiyo and Edwin for making this a special Parents’ Day Service. Thank you to those who helped with the breakfast: Sharon N., Kiyo, Marilyn, Rie, Donald, Lillian, Iwa, Diane, Alison, Gail, Andy, Jean and Tamiko. Next time we’ll celebrate Grandparents’ Day.

FUND RAISING FOR MAKAWAO’S 110TH ANNIVERSARY Not long ago, in 2012, Makawao Hongwanji celebrated its 105th anniversary. Next year, in October, 2017, we will be celebrating our 110th Anniversary. How fortunate we are that the Buddha, Dharma and Sanga still thrive at Makawao Hongwanji. The Anniversary committee is already hard at work planning for this cele-bration. Bishop Matsumoto and Reverend Umitani are scheduled to be here for the celebration. We will also be honoring our Keirokai members as we have done in all past anniversaries. In addition, we will hold a spe-cial service for Kieshiki, or Affirmation Rites with the Bishop. Besides the cost of the celebration, the committee is planning to undertake several major, pressing mainte-nance projects that will entail more costs; therefore, we will need to raise considerable funds for our temple to continue spreading the Buddha’s message of peace and compassion. We will soon be asking all members and friends who are able, to help us with this campaign in 2016 and 2017. More details will be following soon. In gassho, Clyde Hamai, VP Finance

Participants came from Lahaina, Wailuku, Kahului, and Makawao to celebrate this annual event on Maui. There was mahjong, hanafuta, bon dance practice, and out-door soccer. Even the Kona Shaved Ice truck came! Best of all, we visited with friends we don’t often see. It was a very good day.

Preparation for July 2016 Plant Sale Some areas of Hawaii are supposed to be going through a period of drought, but Upcountry Maui had some rainy spells in April and May. This was very good for the plants which perk up with refreshing rain water. Hopefully some of you had time to make cuttings, repot or plant seeds in preparation for the July Plant Sale. Customers love the variety of plants and difficult to find plants which are sold at the MHM Plant Sale. This is possible only because of the volunteers who take care of their plants all year round and support MHM by donating them for the sale. We hope for another successful Plant Sale in 2016. Remember that even one plant is appreciated. Plants may be dropped off on Friday July 1 in front of the restroom area. Please leave your name at the office or put a label so we know who donated the plants. Or call Sharon or Calvin Higuchi at 572-9343 for pick-ups. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING MAUI GREEN AND BEAUTIFUL AND THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MHM!

DHARMA-CON 2016 "TOUCHED BY KINDESS" This piece on the first page of the conference booklet was the sentiments shared throughout the weekend.

“Touched by Kindness” by Rev. Bruce Nakamura (Adapted & Inspired by "Yasashisa ni Deattara")

If you are touched by kindness, share it with others. If you think you are fortunate, spread its joy to others. If you meet suffering, patiently endure and go forward.

If you are lonely, open your heart and let others in. If you see change, let your old self die to new opportunities.

Value these rare encounters to be truly human and a Dharma friend. Like flowers connecting in circles of Aloha,

We are one in the heart of Great Compassion To become Amida Buddha, touching all with Kindness.

Namo Amida Butsu

Sewing Class Going Strong The ladies in the sewing class have been very busy this year sewing projects such as quilts, pillow cases, trivets, coasters, shopping bags, money bags, or Kleenex holders, furushiki, and Obon Towel Bags. Most of the creations are sewn from fabric samples donated by Dwight Hamai, owner of Trendtex Fabrics Ltd, a tex-tile company on Oahu. Dwight’s parents were affiliated with Paia Hongwanji, and his kind donations have enabled the ladies, under the direction of Jean Nishida, to make these beautiful items. These will be sold at our bazaar this summer and at the Senior Fair in the Fall. Some lap quilts will be donated to patients at Kula Hospital. Many thanks to Jean Nishida and Dwight Hamai. How fortunate we are! Namu Amida Butsu.

Next Class to be held on Wednesday, June 22. Rest of summer is Natsu Yasumi (summer break) .
