FROM HEAVEN TO HELL IN ONE DAY ~ By Annette K., Minister’s Assistant

bon 2015 – The Best Temperature Ever! I even had a hoody on when I first got to

Church; it was only in the low 70’s. Our high was about 84, how can you beat that!

The help all week long had been awesome as well; we got things finished early and

home before 10:00 pm each night. Honest, the best Obon Ever!

The day started with the prep for spam musubi, Mike had the rice cooking and completely under

control. I started cooling the cooked rice and by the time we were ready to start, we had lots of people

ready to get all 450 musubi prepared. We worked like a fine oiled machine and with the lower temperature our moods also seem so much better. At

3:00 I started helping Geoff with the parking lot, a spot often overlooked but we had things under control. It was

now getting a little hotter and the field had a lot of grass hoppers but all in all it was fun. Kris came out to

relieve me with her brother and informed me that the health department had just finished the inspection. A few

problems but nothing we couldn’t fix, again things are going so well.

I saw Ruth cutting chicken and Tonkatsu at the booth and I started to help. Working in the food booth gave me

a great respect for all the volunteers over the years that have worked before me! This is hard work, I though! It

was now getting close to 6:00 and Ruth had to leave to start dressing all the dancers. So I was on my own

cutting the meat, and for the first 20 or 30 minutes it was easy. Then the next batch of chicken came off the grill

and I was cutting as fast as I could to get it in the warmers before it cooled down, and at the same time, cut the

Tonkatsu as it was ordered. I had a blister on my right hand and my back was killing me. At about this time I

noticed Blaine working next to me. He was so happy, cool and seemed just grateful to be alive. I wanted to feel

that good; I had started that way but now my body was giving in to the long time on my feet. Then I also

notice a drink next to his area with an amber color and a lot of ice. . . . . Oh man did that look good. A

few hints later and I had my own drink, but mine was in the “Red Solo Cup” and everyone knows bad

things can happen after a few “Red Solo Cups”. As the night goes on I downed two drinks, but it was

within about two hours. The Tonkatsu sold out and the last of the chicken was off the grill, my cutting was

finished and I felt great!

Now for the best part of the day, Obon Dancing! I cleaned up, put on the Happi Coat Ruth loaned me and out I

went to dance the night away. I ran into my son, Scott and gave him a big hug and confessed I was feeling a

little drunk, he laughed. I started dancing and felt like I was doing such a great job, but for some reason could

not keep on the right foot. I seemed to lose my balance when I went in circles, don’t know why. Oh, I also had

two friends from my work with Wonder Bread Hostess Cake come this year. I’ve worked with them over 30

years and this was the first time they came to see what Obon was about. When I saw them I ran out into the

audience to give them a big hug. I did have the common sense to not tell them I was little drunk. Both are very

LDS, and I respect them very much and hope I didn’t make a fool of myself this first, and maybe the only time

they come to see me at church. They did excuse themselves shortly after the Taiko played at intermission and

I’ve not talked to either yet. This was the first regret for my actions that night.

As it goes the night came to an end and we closed the 2015 Obon with Gassho and thanks to all who attended,

and please help clean up and put away chairs. I started right in with the chairs and picking up stuff in the

parking lot, after a short time my feet felt like I had cement blocks for shoes. It was getting hard to even walk

around. Then it was moving up my legs and even my arms felt very heavy, it took everything I had to get home

that evening. The rest of the night was spent, as the saying goes, praying to the porcelain King. From the time I

got home until about 3:30 am I was in the bathroom.

Now you may start to think why I would write about this; well after talking with Fran on Sunday afternoon and

telling her about the night, all the people it affected, and the how my actions caused me such pain it was like the

best Dharma Talk. So here comes the lesson.

Interdependent

We are all connected to each other, and when someone is not able to fulfill his/her obligations it will affect

other people. When I woke up Sunday morning I knew I was in no condition to help the Toban Group cook. I

called Ruth and Betty to let them know I was not able to help out. Then I also remembered that I had to set up

the Altar, Chair the service, and help the Hatsubon family members with the candles. So I called Geoff to ask if

he would please take care of the Altar and help the Hatsubon families. I also had to call Mike, as in my

husband, to see if he would Chair the service. It was so hard to let so many people down.

Karma

Cause and effect, we are given the free agency to choice our actions and I will tell you now my actions that

night – I chose to take the “red solo cup” drink. I didn’t have to drink, and I could have sipped and only had

one, but no I was hot and thirsty and wanted to feel better. Oh I felt better for about four hours. With every

action you will have a reaction, and believe me, the four hours of feeling “happy” was not worth the next 14

hours of hell.

Four Nobel Truths

The Four Nobel Truths tell us that life is a bumpy road, we are all interdependent, everything is impermanent,

and life is basically good. Let’s see how I did:

Bumpy road, well if my arms around the bathroom toilet is not a bumpy road, I don’t know what is.

Interdependent: I covered that with all the people I let down, we work as a team and it makes a difference when

a team member is not there. Yes everything was taken care of, but I still let people down.

Impermanent, thank goodness. If I had to feel like that another day OMG!

Once the hangover was over, a visit from Ruth and Ralph, and a call from Fran, I will say it gave us all a good

laugh! I was feeling both grateful and happy to be alive. Life is really good.

I have some wonderful people in my life and it is awesome they are so forgiving and can laugh at my bad

choice that night. I will be very careful about my next drink, I could say that I will never drink again, but again

I’m only human.

I’m very sorry to everyone that I let down, and I know it was okay and things did go smoothly, but please

accept this as my apology, after all it is a good article.

In Gassho,

Annette

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

I hope you are all doing well as this summer comes to an end.

I need to make a huge CORRECTION from my last article. As of the first of June, BCA has collected

$96,000.00 NOT $960,000.00 for the Nepal Relief Fund. This is a huge difference and I sincerely apologize for

this mis-information. Please keep in mind that BCA will continue to take donations.

Thank you for your support of this year’s Obon Odori Festival. The event was very successful and I appreciate

all the help.

Please note that the church has a new web site http://ogdenbuddhistchurch.org/. I want to thank Kristina

Yamada for setting up and maintaining the new web site.

If you can believe this, Bazaar is around the corner, October 10th! We will are starting to organize the major

activities and if contacted by an activities Chairperson, please volunteer some of your time if you’re able. In the

event that you aren’t contacted and would like to help, please contact a board member or myself - your help will

be gratefully appreciated.

In Gassho,

Thomas F.

Greetings from the Ogden BWA …

Summer is over and that means Obon has come and gone. The BWA ladies made and sold

manju for Obon. Thank you ladies and all the extra help we had in making and selling the

manju. Everyone loves this special treat.

DHARMA SCHOOL NEWS

Superintendent Message:

It's August and here we are again wrapping up the 2014-2015 year and planning for the 2015-2016 year! I can't

tell you how much it means to me to have the support of the Dharma School families and members of the OBC.

We received several donations for the Dharma School booth at Obon. Thank you, Linda and Geoff R., Georgia

and Max Y., Tomiko S., Kunie O., Ralph and Ruth S., Sherrie K. and the SL Dharma School, and Stacie and

Todd H. Everyone was great to help staff the booth; we really needed the extra help with all of the great items

we had to sell.

"Reflecting on the necessity of change helps us see the perfection of life as it is instead of as it was

or as it should be."

~Richard Carlson, American author and speaker

This quote by Richard Carlson, makes me realize how far we have come and what we have accomplished. The

move to set-up Dharma School Committees has been in place for some time now. Each committee is

responsible for specific Dharma School activities during a two month period.

Month Committee Service/Activity

October/November Justine H. & Robyn H. Bazaar Game Area

December/January Suzan Y.& Stan H. Bodhi Day, Mochi Fund Raiser, Perch at

the Church, Ho’onko Service, and Omigaki

February/March Kris Y. & Betty Y. Ohigan and Keirokai Service

April/May Lorraine S., Ellen K., & Geniel S. Hanamatsuri and Gotan’E/Hatsumairi

Service

June/July Betty Y., Kris Y., & Tami H. Lagoon Day, Dharma School End of Year

Party, Parents Day, Obon

As you can see, we have several activities during the year. If you are ever interested in helping at one of these

events, please let us know.

Dharma School would also like to THANK Alice H. and Marisa A. for playing the piano during our

weekly services. We appreciate their time and talent that they are so willing to share with our

Sangha!

For the past two years we have changed from individual Dharma School classes to a group lesson. Our

Minister’s Assistant, Annette K. gives a 10 minute lesson to the students and parents followed by an activity.

As an observation, I feel we could improve the interactive discussion and activities following Annette's talk.

Last year we had some suggestions for service projects but were unable to work them into our schedule.

On September 20th, we will have our Back-to-School Party beginning at 11:30 am with an activity, 12:00 pm

lunch, followed by the Dharma School Planning Meeting at 12:30 pm. At the planning meeting, we hope to

bring in new innovative ideas and add to the interactive activities to enhance our students understanding of

Buddhism. We welcome your input and invite you to attend. If you are unable to attend and have any

suggestions, please contact me or a committee member.

Thanks for a great year. I'm looking forward to 2015-2016.

In Gassho,

Suzan Y.

Dharma School Donations

Dharma School would like to THANK everybody who donated to the success of our Obon Booth!

Some of you donated items that we could sell, some of you donated your time to work in our booth,

and some of you did both! We could not help our students learn the teachings of Buddhism without

your examples of kindness, generosity, and faith.

Did You Notice Our NEWLY Painted Multipurpose Room?

Thank you to ANDREW K. and his Boy Scout Troop 78! Andrew completed his EAGLE

SCOUT project by raising money and organizing volunteers to paint our Multipurpose Room!

What a difference a coat of paint makes! Our Multipurpose Room looks fantastic! We will let

everybody know when Andrew will receive his Eagle Scout award from the Boy Scouts of

America.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A note of THANKS from Andrew:

Thank you to everyone who came out to help me with my Eagle Scout project. I couldn't have done it without

your help.

We were able to finish the project within the time schedule. The multi-purpose

room looks better now, so we can all enjoy it.

Thanks,

OHIGAN SERVICE August / September Shotsuki Hoyo*

Sunday, September 27, 2015

1:30 p.m.

Guest Speaker: Rev. Mitsuya Dake

Rev. Dake is Professor of Jodo Shinshu at Ryukoku University in Kyoto,

Japan. His area of study is Intercultural Communications.

The word Higan comes from the Sanskrit word Paramita - "Other Shore." The words "other

shore" refer to the "world of Nirvana." As the name Higan denotes, this is the time to remind

within each and every one of us the Bodhisattva practice of the Six Paramitas of charity,

morality, patience, effort, meditation, and wisdom. It is the means by which one crosses over the

illusory ocean of birth and death to the other shore of Nirvana.
