Obon & Hatsubon Service (July 7, 2024) - Rev. Jeffrey Soga - Windward Buddhist Temple
Our annual Obon & Hastubon Service held on Sunday, July 7, 2024 with a Dharma Talk by guest speaker Rev. Jeffrey Soga, resident minister of Waipahu Hongwanji. Obon is a time when Buddhists remember those who have left this world before us, with gratitude for enabling us to exist and to encounter the dharma. This was also our Hatsubon Service, for families of those who passed away since the last Obon.
The service was officiated by Rev. Sumikawa at Windward Buddhist Temple in Kailua, Hawaii.
Join us at our Bon Dance in Kailua on Saturday, July 13, 2024. One night only! Visit tinyurl.com/bo... or windwardbuddhi... for details.
