Rev. Sol Kalu

Remembrance Dharma Service for Sunday, January 26, 2025 with a Dharma Talk by Rev. Sol Kalu. This Jodo Shinshu Buddhist service was officiated by Rev. Kalu. Rev. Kalu's Dharma Talk is about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who we honor and remember in January.

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