Mission of Hawaii
At Higashi Hongwanji, we remaintrue to our origins
as an open Sangha, welcoming
anyone who wishes to learn more
about the Jodo Shinshu
tradition of Buddhism.

ebruary 15 is recognized by Buddhists as “Nirvana Day.” Nirvana
Day is the day Shakyamuni Buddha reached complete Nirvana at
the age of 80.
Nirvana itself has a meaning of “to extinguish,” and it is a state
where Bonno, or suffering, is extinguished. This is the original
meaning of the word “Nirvana.” Shakyamuni Buddha reached thestate of Nirvana, but he realized that, as long as he had his own body,he couldn’t avoid the Bonno, the three poisons of greed, anger, andignorance. So, when he died, he reached complete Nirvana.
No ho ichi nen ki ai shin, fu dan bon no toku ne han. “When one
moment of thought with joy (and love) rises, one
attains Nirvana even without destroying the evil
passions.” This passage is from Shoshinge, or “Hymnon the Nenbutsu of the Right Faith,” which Shinran
Shonin wrote. Nirvana is a state where Bonno is
extinguished, but here it says that one attains
Nirvana without extinguishing Bonno. This seems
be to a contradiction. What does this mean?
The word “Nirvana” can be interpreted in several
Rev. Koen Kikuchi
ways. One is the state of all the blind passions
being extinguished, which is the state of peace and calm. Second is
the meaning of complete Nirvana and death. The third is awakening.
If we understand the sentence of Shoshinge as the first and second
meaning, it doesn’t make sense. But if we look at the sentence as the(cont’d on p. 2)

煩悩を断ぜずして涅槃を得るなり
菊地香円 師
２月１５日はお釈迦様が亡くなられた日として、寺院では「涅槃会」が勤まります。この日はお釈迦様がお亡くなりになられた、そして涅槃の境地に到達された日であります。
「涅槃」とは「吹き消す」「吹き消した状態」という意味から、「煩悩の火が吹き消された状態」を意味します。お釈迦様は厳しい修行、そして瞑想の末、涅槃の境地に到達されました。しかし同時に、肉体がある限り完全な涅槃ではない、どうしても肉体があるがゆえの煩悩からは逃れることはできないと悟られました。そして、お釈迦様はお亡くなりになられた際、完全なる涅槃の境地に至りました。
「能発一念喜愛心 不断煩悩得涅槃（よく一念喜愛の心を発すれば、煩悩を断ぜずして涅槃を得るなり。）」これは親鸞聖人がお書きになられた「正信偈」からのお言葉です。「涅槃」の元々の意味は「煩悩の火が吹き消された状態」を指しているのにも関わらず、煩悩を断つことなく煩悩のなくなった状態である涅槃を得ることができると述べられています。一見矛盾しているように見えますが、果たして何を意味しているのでしょうか。
古田和弘先生によると、「涅槃」という言葉は元々、「煩悩の火が吹き消された状態」という意味を持っていましたが、お釈迦様が亡くなられて完全なる
涅槃に至られたことから、「死」を意味する様にもなりました。そして、その理解が深められ、「悟り」という積極的な意味に理解されるようになりまし(次のページに続く)

Community Mochitsuki Event

S

ince mochi is a traditional osonae
offering for our Betsuin altar,
making mochi has been a regular
year-end activity at the temple forseveral years. Members and friends
would often join us to make enoughmochi for their New Year needs.
Wanting to share this fun family
activity with others in the community,
we went public with our mochitsuki
event this year, hoping we might beable to increase awareness of ourtemple at the same time.
Increase awareness it did! Some 200
people came to our event—many
first-timers at our temple and from ourown neighborhood—some staying
from beginning to end. With the powerof word-of-mouth, the buzz was on
and families galore dropped in tocheck out what we had to offer.
It was your proverbial three-ringcircus, with a delightful array ofthings to see and do. Visitors got toobserve the whole process ofsteaming the rice and transfering to

eating their fresh creations. Plus, there
was mochi to take home.
Meanwhile there were cooking sideshows for karaage chicken, Japanesestyle tamago yaki omelets andkaramen, a spicy “ramen” withkonnyaku-like noodles. Fortunately,
the demos weren’t only treats for theeyes, as samples were passed out tosatisfy taste buds and tummies, too.
What’s more, as if there wasn’t
enough to do, we had engaging“make ‘n’ take” activities for cultural
immersion, including imoban potato

to the educational fun.
We appreciate the many positive
comments received and will continue
to seek ways our temple can serve as acommunity gathering place.
“Thank you for the experience!”“Everyone was incredibly nice andwelcoming.”“Mahalo for inviting the community.
I’ve lived here all my life and have neverseen what it takes to make mochi.”“Enjoyed the family atmosphere andeveryone given the chance toparticipate.”
To all: Thank you very mochi! Seeyou at our next mochitsuki!

Let Us Discover
the Joy of Living“Challenging to Open Our Minds”
Rev. Marcos Jinen Sawada
Hilo Higashi Hongwanji

Happy New Year! It has been a long time since werepeated this phrase. For us, the starting point is an
opportunity to reset some things that weren’t well in ourlives last year and to try to improve them. It means that
I’m not wholly satisfied with my present way of life or myconduct, and I need to change something. But, as Buddha
says, “We have to awaken from thisdream called existence!” Then, thisis a good moment.
People, including me, associatehappiness in terms of physical,
mental, material and emotional
advantages. If I’m young, healthy
and beautiful, I feel happy basedon my present condition. If I
have money, cars, a big and goodRev. Marcos Jinen Sawada
house to live in, I’m happy for
those comforts. If I don’t have any problems, some goodfriends and relationships, I’m happy. The conditions for
those kinds of happiness come from external conditions.
They are only sensations; they change constantly. We
aren’t able to keep them. So, when those conditions leaveme, I will feel happy no more and I will try to search forsomething external to make me happy again. I associate
my happiness with an external condition; I have to pick
it up again in this impermanent world. What do I have todo?
Did you challenge yourself to start something new
in 2018? Did you have something embarrassing happen
to you or had a situation you struggled with last year?
I think we all did. Last year, I started judo among boys
and girls age 7-13. I am only a white belt in my fifties
trying to follow them. Every practice I feel a lot of newsensations. My body doesn’t move like theirs, but I feel somuch pleasant sensations mixed with physical pain. Whenthe young boy or girl succeeds in throwing me, I can see
satisfaction on their faces. “You cannot beat me; I’m yellow
belt and really stronger than you!” Being thrown by themmakes me happier and I appreciate learning together, notonly the waza (the technique or skill), but from their smilesor the sensation of doing well. I also learn from my whole

winter 2019

body, ankles, toes, lower back and neck. Going to judo isn’t
only a way to exercise; it is a way to encounter myself.
I have three reasons for starting this practice. First,
trying to make my son come back to judo (he quit lastyear). To me, doing some exercise is important so we donot become sedentary. I think if I keep doing it, one day hewould return to this important practice. The second reason
is, as minister of this temple, I am expected to connect the
temple activities and classes to Hilo Higashi Hongwanji.
Finally, I am challenged to learn something new and at thesame time, I can exercise. To my surprise, I encountered
more that I expected. It created the opportunity to look atmyself in a more sincere way which then transcended allof my old ideas and concepts.
At the dojo, all generations are represented and they
all practice together. There is respect, discipline andtradition. There are natural and artificial situations where
you become humble, aggressive, defensive or pretentious
depending on the situation and how you choose tosolve it. This multitude of sensations brings different
experiences and they enrich my meaning about living
now. Challenging yourself to do something opens yourmind. “But…sensei, I’m really too old to do something!”
OK! Just start something and you will find where you
stand. As Buddha teaches us, the situation is as it is; wecannot change it. We try to escape from age, illness anddeath instead of looking at them as a natural happening inthis impermanent life. But, we cannot! Then what can we
do? Simply accept reality as it is.
Although we cannot change the situations that cometo us, we can do a really deep self-examination on how
we are feeling and making judgments from the concepts
created in our mind. Doing a deep introspection about
reacting emotionally allows us to stop, breathe and see
reality (which cannot be changed) in a more meaningful
way. It helps us to reach a more convincing answer for thecomplexity called Living.
“Joy of Living” isn’t found in the ego but in the realityof the Dharma (everything you see and cannot see); in
Jinen Houni (nature of impermanence) or as it is. We don’t
receive any kind of personal advantages or benefits. The
meaning of reality becomes more neutral and equal for allof us. It breaks static concepts and ideas and points toward
the universal and infinite without our human-centeredview. It is neither positive nor negative; only as it is! This
world is only sensations and ideas. Awaken from the
dream called existence!
Namuamidabutsu!

Overseas District Abbot

To all of our fellow followers in the overseas districts, I
wish you a Happy New Year. It is with great pleasurethat I can share the joy of welcoming the new year
together with you as a member of the sangha.
It has already been seven years
since I was appointed as Overseas
District Abbot. I have been given
precious opportunities to listen to
the teaching together with you at the
Hōonkō services of the temples inyour districts. Recently, I also have
had the chances to welcome you
Chōyū Ōtani
at the Honzan during your visit to
Kyoto for Hōshidan tours or other activities. WhenI see those of you who came all the way from Brazil,
North America and Hawaii at our spiritual home,
the Shinshū Honbyō, and pay our respects in frontof Shinran Shōnin’s image together, I always findmyself embraced by the spirit of the Shōnin’s teachingthat “throughout the world, we are all brothers andsisters” with a renewed feeling of deep appreciation.
In the spring of 2020, the 13th World Dōbō Gathering
will be held in Kyoto. I sincerely look forward to
sharing the joy of listening to the teaching with as
many of you as possible at that event.
I wish to conclude my message by expressing mywish that each of us will be awakened to the vow of
the Tathāgata.
Thank you.

Chief Administrator

I wish to extend my warmest New Year’s greetings to
all of you in the overseas districts. I would also like tothank you from the bottom of my heart for the supportand understanding you continue to give to our Sangha.
As you may know, ourdenomination has alreadybegun preparations for the 850th
Celebration of Shinran Shōnin’s
Birth and the 800th Anniversary of
the Establishment of Jōdo Shinshū
in 2023. I have come to realize thatthe purpose of celebrating the birth
BishopHiroshi Tajima of the Shōnin and the establishmentof the teaching is that I, myself, must
become one who can truly appreciate the meaningof my life and share that appreciation with otherpeople. I believe this is the only way I can live up to
the wishes of the Shōnin who expressed his gratitude
for Amida Buddha’s Original Vow of liberating all
sentient beings through the words, “I am convincedthat it was for me, Shinran, alone!”

6

In other words, for us who have been so fortunate
to encounter the Shōnin’s teaching, the celebrationof those anniversaries is none other than the act of
repaying our debt of gratitude to him. I sincerely
wish that this auspicious occasion will become theopportunity for all of us to deepen our appreciation
for the Shōnin’s birth and his establishment of theteaching of Jōdo Shinshū as the broadest path to
Buddhahood, together with our sangha members.
It is no exaggeration to say that those events
will play a crucial role in shaping the future ofour denomination. Each of us, as one who has
encountered the teaching, needs to take on the
responsibility as a member of the denomination to
truly realize a sangha of the nenbutsu where everyone
can live together with mutual respect.
In closing, I wish to ask for your continued support
and cooperation.
Thank you.
