Remembrance Day Service

Rev. Bert Sumikawa

Remembrance Dharma Service for Sunday, May 26, 2024 with a Dharma Talk by Rev. Dr. Bert Sumikawa. Are the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha and Shinran Shonin the same? Or are they different? That's the question Rev. Sumikawa asks and answers in his Dharma Talk. This Jodo Shinshu Buddhist service was officiated by Rev. Sumikawa.

Remembrance Day is a time to honor family, friends, and even pets who passed away during the month of May, regardless of the year. This Jodo Shinshu Buddhist church service was recorded at Windward Buddhist Temple, a Shin Buddhist Temple in Kailua, Hawaii.
