I went there with a friend and left with so much more than I went in with. Pure Land Buddhism was explained to me over the course of several weeks and the more I heard, the more sense it all made. I need only get out of my own way and accept the Wisdom and Compassion of Other Power and know that my place in the Pure Land Is assured by the Primal Vow.

A wonderful way to experience this unique Japanese school of Buddhism. Friendly people very willing to share their knowledge of Shin Buddhism.

I received the book written by Patricia Masters regarding Mary Foster's Life, a native Hawaiian who advocated for the spread of Buddhism and restoring Buddhist historic sacred site of Maha Bodhi temple of India, Bodh Gaya with the Sri Lankan national hero advocate, Sri Angarika Dharmapala from the Buddhist Study Centre. Hoshina Seki is the lady president who is sincere and kind and I am so happy to have met her. With her compassionate words and encouragement I am so inspired to be a good person. I enjoyed reading the book about Mary Fosters and is nice to hear about the Hawaiian cultures and early history. Leaves of My Heart by Lady Kujo and I am going to get one of it when published and I am amazed by her wisdom and compassion including her contribution to her dedicated social work. I have read some extract of her essays and can't wait to read all of those essays. It is such a lovely way to learn Buddhism.
