The Buddhist Education Committee presents a "Fourth Sunday" program to
introduce Buddhism and the Temple to interested members of the community.
The program runs on the Fourth Sunday of each month (except May and December)
from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., and meets in the Sangha Hall.

The program consists of a simple opening service, a brief overview of the teachings of
Buddha, the Pure Land School, and the everyday Buddhism of the Jodo Shinshu
tradition. The one-hour session also covers the etiquette used at our Temple and
concludes with a Q&A.
Following the class, participants are invited to attend the Family Service at 10 a.m. to
hear Rev. Mukojima's Dharma message. After the service, a tour of the Temple will be
given to those interested, with special attention paid to the symbolic meanings of the
altar and to answering any questions.
In addition to interested students and visitors from the community, we also invite new
and prospective members to attend the introductory class.
Members of the Buddhist Education Committee include Kaytee Sumida, Bill Teague,
and Paul Yasuhara.
We invite anyone with an interest in Buddhism or the Temple to attend one of the
Fourth Sunday introductions.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Visitors are welcome to attend our regular family services. Most services are held
upstairs in the Hondo. We are building an elevator this year but for now, the Hondo is
only accessible by stairs. Visitors should dress comfortably and just a little
conservatively. No headcoverings are required,
