Dharma Service for Sunday, January 8, 2023 with a Dharma Talk by Dennis Tashiro at Windward Buddhist Temple. The first service of the month is our Intergenerational Service, with a Dharma message for both kids and adults. The book Dennis reads is "Waiting is Not Easy," an Elephant and Piggie book by Mo Willems.
