Sharyn Sekine & Rev. Barbara Brennan
Dana Day & Pet Memorial Dharma Service for Sunday, February 12, 2023 with a Dharma Talk by Sharyn Sekine at Windward Buddhist Temple. Sharyn is a Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin board member and is active with the Buddhist Women’s Association (BWA) serving in multiple leadership roles. Sharyn gave a wonderful Dharma Talk sharing examples of dana, or "selfless giving."
Today was also our annual Pet Memorial Remembrance Service. Pets provide us with selfless giving with their unconditional love and companionship. A loss of a family pet is often our first encounter with mortality as children.
