Rev. DennisRev. Joshin Dennis Fujimoto The Sacramento Betsuin follows the Jodo Shinshu tradition of holding the Oasaji

Service at 7 a.m. on the 16th of each month. Oasaji is a memorial service held every month to honor our founder, Shinran Shonin. We chant the Shoshinge,

written by Master Shinran. We offer incense. We sit in quiet reflection.

In the Shoshinge, Shinran Shonin delineates the development of the Jodo Shinshu path. The wisdom awakened to is not individual accomplishment, but the unfolding of truth itself rooted in the reality that is Amida. Shinran looks back upon the evolution of the teachings that were provided to him by his teacher, Honen Shonin.

Shinran selects seven teachers whose thoughts, work and influence brought the Shin Buddhist teachings forward through history. These seven teachers are depicted on the far left scroll hanging in our temple altar, known as The Seven Patriarchs of Jodo Shinshu. They are: Nagarjuna and Vasubandhu of India, T’an Luan, Tao ch’o, and Shan tao of China, and Genshin and Honen of Japan. We are able to note the path taken by the teachings of these masters from India through China and then to Japan and finally reaching Shinran.

As we chant the Shoshinge, each of the masters is brought to our attention. The virtues of their teachings and their contributions to the development of the Nembutsu path

October 2016 Sacramento Betsuin SANGHA Vol. 53 No. 10 Page 3

are extolled through the verses written by Shinran Shonin. Our own voices become Shinran’s voice as he continues to announce the movement of the Nembutsu teachings through time, history, language, and cultures. It is much more than a glimpse into the past. It is the ever-unfolding movement of wisdom and compassion as it opens to become the reality that we live in here and now.

It is a journey of mythic proportions that we have the good fortune to stumble across and to participate in. His awakening becomes our awakening as we dare to look deeply into life and into our own lives. Oasaji — The Breakfast of Champions… and Bodhisattvas. Please join us for the morning service. Every month, Oasaji Service will be held on the 16th, 7 a.m. We’ll see you at the temple.

Not long ago, on a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, my niece Maddie and I passed by the penguin exhibit. That morning, the caretakers were cleaning the exhibit. Wearing their scuba gear — masks, diving suits, gloves, and oxygen

tanks — the divers were submerged in the water, scraping and vacuuming the floor and walls of the exhibit. It looked like slow and tedious work, and the divers were focused on doing a good job. Maddie was fascinated and found a spot on the floor by the window to watch. One of the divers noticed Maddie sitting there and the two exchanged a smile and a wave. The next thing I knew, the diver put his tools down and placed his fist in his palm. With no words exchanged and without hesitation, Maddie knew that it was GAME ON… Jan Ken Po!

Like so many, I grew up with Jan Ken Po. It was a fun game to play on long car rides or waiting in line for the movies. It was also the ultimate decision maker. Who’s going to empty the dishwasher? Who gets to ride in the front seat? Jan Ken Po… end of discussion. Like a ruling from the highest court in the land, there was no arguing with Jan Ken Po. It can be serious business!

In fact, I ran across an article in The New York Times from 2005. Takashi Hashiyama, the president of an electronics company based in Japan, could not decide whether Christie’s or Sotheby’s should sell the company’s art collection, which was worth more than $20 million. Rather than split the collection, he asked that the decision be made through Jan Ken Po. The two auction houses took the request seriously and even researched strategy. As it turned out, two of the experts who advised the president of Christie’s were the 11-year-old daughters of one of its directors. Their advice? “Everybody knows you always start with scissors. Rock is way too obvious, and scissors beats paper.” Sure enough… in the end, Christie’s was the winner: scissors beat paper.

Jan Ken Po is universal, with variations being played round the world. There are books, research studies, workshops, tournaments, and even international organizations dedicated to Jan Ken Po and the promotion of rock-paper-scissors as a fun and safe way to resolve disputes. Whatever you call it — Jan Ken Po, Rock-Paper-Scissors, or Rochambeau – it can be played by anyone, anywhere, and at any time. It requires no preparation or equipment, there is no time limitation, and there’s really only three things to remember: rock breaks scissors, scissors cuts paper, and paper covers rock. It is just one example of the many similarities we share in a world that sometimes seems overly focused on what sets us apart.

One of the core teachings in Buddhism is the teaching of interdependence — the teaching of oneness that reminds us that all things in the universe are interconnected. Although we are all very different, we are all very much the same. There is much that we share and much that we owe due to the kindness, effort, and sacrifice of others. Sometimes, however, it seems that we pay more attention to things that pull us apart rather than bring us together. What if, instead, we change our way of thinking so that we are more aware of the connections we have with others and appreciate more deeply all that we share? How different our view of the world would be.

That day at the aquarium, I was mesmerized watching Maddie and her new friend share their game of Jan Ken Po. Maddie giggled and laughed, and I could see the diver doing the same. Then, as quickly as it started, their game ended with a smile and a thumbs up. The two simultaneously reached toward one another and pressed their palms against the glass — Maddie on one side and the diver on the other. Although no words were exchanged… a connection was made. Who knows if Maddie and her new friend will ever meet again, but for that brief moment in time they were joined together through friendship, laughter, and Jan Ken Po. It was a wonderful moment and one that I’ll always remember with a smile.

Some Perspectives: There was a recent newspaper article about some Amazon tribespersons in Rio De Janeiro who were led out of the forest where they had lived their entire lives. They were taken to an area that was, of course, in the 21st century

with modernization of almost everything available: new foods, television, medicine, automobiles, etc. Yet a year-and-a-half later, they escaped back to the forest, basically saying they didn’t want our civilization and preferred their ancient way of life.

So, how does this relate to impermanence and interdependency, or do these tribespersons just want to go back to “living in the moment” to a much simpler lifestyle? I guess what was important to them was not television, but to be in their home, in the forest, with plenty of hunting, with rivers and animals.

Wall of Appreciation: We first provided information for the Wall of Appreciation at Reverend Bob and Reverend Patti’s retirement dinner this past summer. Since then, we have been getting donations and pledges. In addition, your family should have received our brochure and information by mail in September. If you would like to support the Sacramento Buddhist Church, please make a pledge to the Wall of Appreciation.

The wall will be located in the main hallway across from our garden and hopefully will provide a very serene and harmonious setting. One of the nicest ways to make a donation and pledge is to designate it in the name of or memory of a loved one(s).

Supporting Youth Advocacy Committee (YAC) Youth: As mentioned in previous Sangha articles, the Legacy Endowment Fund Board (LEFB) now has a Legacy Endowment Request for Funding Form. One of the requirements for funding is a follow-up written evaluation of the funded activity, which includes a personal reflection, impact of the experience and should be suitable for possible inclusion in a Sangha newsletter and/or Wheel of Dharma or other publication. The evaluations reflect the positive effect of the program and the participants’’ personal growth.

In last month’s LEFB Sangha article, Ruth Seo mentioned the YAC program and featured reflections of one of four participants, Allison Tanaka. For October, I would like to include Cody Kurahara’s reflection on his experiences.

Cody Kurahara

Being Reiko’s youngest grandson, I have wandered the halls of the Sacramento Buddhist Temple for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories include running into Rinban Bob’s arms and spending countless hours assisting “Reiko and Company” on their weekly task of feeding the Sangha every Sunday. My entire life I was proud to be a part of the Sacramento Betsuin until I was asked the question, “What does it mean to be a Buddhist?” I had spent hundreds of hours on the Betsuin grounds; however, I did not know anything about Jodo Shinshu characteristics or rituals. In an effort to gain more knowledge about my religion, I applied to YAC.

My journey to YAC was fairly simple; I wasn’t intimidated with traveling to a temple or the anxiety of a long flight — I was calm and comfortable at my home temple. When I first saw the other delegates, I was met with a feeling of respect and unrivaled compassion, a sensation that only a few friends had ever given me. As I bonded with my 20 new brothers and sisters, my ego disappeared; I recognized that it doesn’t matter where you come from, how cool you are, or how you look — being yourself is unique.

Throughout the course of the retreat, our three Tobans had to conduct 21 services. At first the ceremonies were long and boring, but as the days whizzed by, the 21 melted to 15 then 6, and in the blink of an eye the services were over. The days and time flew by with all the well thought out activities and great food! I knew that the time with my new family was coming to a close and I understood how we must cherish every moment with one another—as we never know when that moment will be our last.

In my time at YAC, I came to terms with how it is impossible to control our emotions. I realized that we cannot let emotions influence our actions, for our actions are the only thing we are in command of. In one week, I met the most compassionate and respectful people that I have ever met. Thank you YAC and Team Betsuin for all that you have done, for this was an experience where the words “thank you” do not express the gratitude I am trying to exemplify.

I wrote a quote that my fellow YAC’ers seemed to like:

“On the track of life, don’t crawl… walk; don’t walk… run; don’t run… glide; don’t glide… fly; don’t fly… take off; don’t take off… I will miss you. As I’m missing you; I will get a clue… of what in life I’m meant to do.”

In August, Troop 50 was occupied with Sacramento Buddhist Church’s annual Bazaar. The scouts were extremely eager and motivated at the pullout, shifts, and cleanup. The month ended on a high note with not one but two separate Eagle

projects for Cameron Dorais and Tyler Ito on August 27.

As the new school year started to unravel, the scouting year began anew with new patrols and leadership, all led by the Troop 50 Senior Patrol Leader Alvin Le. The year started off with a Court of Honor, featuring the awards that most scouts achieved at Camp Winton. More than 100 merit badges and over 10 rank advancements were awarded to the scouts who attended.

Two days after the Court of Honor, scouts rose up to participate in the 9/11 service project. With the help of a number of troops and Crew 50, they were able to post approximately 3,000 flags in Cal Expo’s front lawn, which was picked up at the end of the day. Later on, scouts were asked to guide visitors to the 9/11 Exhibit at the Expo Center.

September ended with the Bodega Dunes outing from September 23 to September 25.

Upcoming events for the month of October include: My Sister’s House Fun Run Service Project, Halloween Haunted House, and troop meetings.

Buddhist Studies for Young Scouts: Metta/Padma Class Dates Set

Hello everyone! The best season of the year is autumn and so begins our 2016–17 Dharma School term. We are fully staffed with teachers and TAs. Life is good!

Our opening day of the new term, Sunday, September 11, was a special and full day with registration, Grandparents’ Day fun activities, and registration for other programs. The day began with a meaningful Dharma talk by Rinban Joshin Dennis Fujimoto, our new resident minister. “Thank you!” to the Dharma School teachers who arrived early for carpetdeck duty and for taking care of the Grandparents’ Day activity booths, to registrar Carol Tamai for overseeing the registration area, and to John Fujimoto for taking photos of our sangha families.

To our amazing courtyard crew, thank you so much for preparing delicious snacks each Sunday! We appreciate everything you do to provide sangha members and guests with opportunities to enjoy each other’s company after Dharma Service.

Until next month....

Happy Fall Everyone! No... not happy to have you fall, but happy to welcome in the fall season of 2016. It seems that everything happens in the fall. Let’s see — School starts in the fall; well actually, it starts in early September, and there

are some that start in August, which is not fall; however, universally it is called the fall semester, so I suppose that counts. What else is there? There is the starting of new television shows, otherwise known as the fall TV lineup. Of course who could forget about fall being football season! Yes, football is back and now we all have something to look forward to on Sundays right after Dharma School.

Did someone say Dharma School? Well, no duh, Dharma School also has a fall semester and brings with it all kinds of activities to the church, one of which is the sport of basketball. We take basketball registration during the same time period as the Dharma School registration period to catch all those families and kids at the beginning of fall so that we can form teams, get practices going and prepare for the next installment of the NCCL Basketball League.

With all this commotion of the basketball activities, we also engage in another fall sport — the sport of bowling. We also take signups for bowling at the same time as basketball, but unlike basketball, the bowling league is much more sedate, not so much hustle, and very little bustle. We bowl on Sunday afternoons. We mix up kids with adults and we just have a good old time. So, even though registration has taken place, just come out to Land Park Bowl on Freeport, now called AMF — but it has always been next to Jack in the Box, next to Lai Wah and across from the airport.

And, if you want to take it down yet another notch in the ruckus category, join us for our hula class, where you will learn the fine art of telling stories with gentle hand and body motions and movements with a peaceful tranquility. Check with the church office for the sign-up sheet.

So, to add on top of all this kinetic energy, we will throw one more major event to put on your calendar and make plans for, which is our annual fundraiser, the Mochi Tsuki. This year, the Mochi Tsuki will be on December 17. Mark your calendar, and stay tuned for more details on the work assignments

And don’t forget to pre-order your mochi! Order enough to last you through the year. It freezes well and is a good quick snack. The order form is on the website and at the office.

If you would like more information on any of these topics, please contact the church office and they will be more than happy to get you the details.

Happy Fall Everyone!

The Sacramento Buddhist Church (SBC) Golf Tournament Committee extends its appreciation to the many tee box hole sponsors, cash and raffle prize donors that contributed to the success of the temple’s 7th annual fundraising event held at the

Teal Bend Golf Course on August 24. A field of 122 golfers and supporters of this event helped raise the funds needed to replenish the Capital Improvement Fund, and defray the cost of upcoming projects.

The tournament committee extends its appreciation to Marty Sakata, Koichi Mizushima, and Gordon and Matt Nitta for cooking their favorite entrees, and Diane Shimosaka and Sheryl Kajioka for rounding up the many volunteers to serve the players and their guests at the luncheon. More than 130 golfers and their invited guests enjoyed the delicious buffet lunch prepared by the temple’s “iron chefs” following completion of play.

The tournament was supported by 34 Gold, Silver, Bronze and individual hole sponsorships and five In-Memory-Of contributions, as well as numerous raffle prizes donations from participants, guests and friends of the Betsuin. The Grand Prize Raffle for five-night stay at the Marriott Lake Tahoe was donated by Robbie Midzuno for the fourth year of this event. Robbie also donated a two-night stay at the Marriott Lake Tahoe that was gifted to the Oshita’s in recognition of their many years of service to the Betsuin, Sangha members and the community at large. The 2016 SBC Golf Tournament Committee extends our sincere “thanks” to each of those listed below for your generous donations. We look forward to see you next year tournament at Teal Bend Golf Course scheduled for August 23, 2017.
