It is difficult to save others as we wish BY REV. HARRY GYOKYO BRIDGE
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT topics for Ohigan is “dana.” It can be
translated as “generosity” or “giving.” It
is the first of the “Six Paramitas” or “Six
Perfections” that form the basis of bo-
dhisattva practice. As Buddhists we are
often encouraged to try and perform
dana ourselves.
Dana can take many forms – it
can be monetary, or acts beneficial to
others. At the Buddhist Church of
Oakland we even have a Dana Fund –
moneys that can be used to help people
in need. This financial assistance is giv-
en anonymously – in other words, you
may donate money to the fund and yet
never hear about who received it.
But this brings up an interesting as-
pect of Dana. As noted above, “parami-
ta” means “perfection” – in other words,
the perfect practice of giving. Here, it
often means that the generosity of a bo-
dhisattva is selfless, purely for the ben-
efit of the recipient with no thought of
oneself. So actually, giving to the Dana
Fund is an interesting way to try and ac-
complish this – you may receive thanks
from the Buddhist Church of Oakland,
but you can’t expect to hear from theCONTINUED ON PAGE 2

SEPTEMBER MEANS THAT Summer is ending & we transition to
Fall. We just had BCO’s Obon Festival
and I would like to thank the Sangha for
taking a deep breath from just finish-
ing our Bazaar Food Festival to put on
another beautiful event. I would like to
raise a glass to Steve Terusaki for chair-
ing the Obon event. It is always amaz-
ing how our members take an ordinary
street in Oakland & transform it to a
postcard worthy sight. Also, it’s always a
joy to see so many people honor fam-
ily members & friends w/lantern tags,
so that those who have passed could
be there with us watching from above.
As I looked at some of the names
on the lantern tags it brought up
memories of working side by side
with them here at church events
& the friendships made that
bring a smile…See you when we
have Family Dharma Service

President’s Message BY RON NOMURA
SEPTEMBER 20192
AFTER SEVERAL CANCELLATIONS the Momiji group finally came together
on Thursday, July 18. The day turned
out to be a luncheon meet with a birth-
day cake honoring two of our ladies.
Our Miss Patti also had returned from
her trip to Istanbul, so we all enthusi-
astically went into our Yoga exercises
under her able leadership per usual. It
was just so nice to see everyone back
together again.
After lunch a video titled, “And
They Came For Us”, was presented. This
video was loaned to the group by Ms.
Susan Tanisawa. The story depicted
the evacuation of Japanese Americans
during World War II. For many of us in-
volved in the movement, it was a sad
reminder of the treatment towards our
people. We thank Susan for her Dana.
At this time we have members to
thank for their Dana. Ms. Teru Shibata
for the tasty plums, Ms. Fuzy Yoshi-
da for handling the food, and to Ms.
Joanne Makishima for her donation
of a CD player to the our organiza-
tion. Thank you to the ladies for their
kindness and thoughtfulness to the
Momiji kai.
Our next meet will probably
be on Thursday, August 15, 2019.
You will be notified. n

It is difficult to save others as we wish CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE
actual beneficiary.
There is another important aspect
of Dana that Shinran Shonin brings to
our attention as well. In Chapter Four
of the Tannisho, Shinran is reported as
saying the following: “It is extremely
difficult… to accomplish the saving of
others exactly as one wishes.” Maybe I
don’t have sufficient resources, maybe
my ego gets in the way, maybe I mis-
understand the situation – the poten-
tial problems are almost endless.
And yet, we can still try. We may
find that we wish to perform a gener-
ous, compassionate act. It could be
something we have thought about
for a while, or it could occur sponta-
neously. If you feel so moved, I say go
for it! But also be prepared to engage
in self-reflection – you may find ego
operating, which is fine – it is actually
probably impossible to escape the ego
by our own effort. But realizing this
omnipresent ego, we may actu-
ally realize that the compassion is
actually coming to us from Amida
Buddha. Recognizing this embrace, we
may wish to “pay it back” – and Dana
could be the way to do it! n

A THROWING ERROR BY White Sox shortstop leads to a walk
off run by A’s pinch hitter Chad Pin-
der. Game over… the A’s sweep the
White Sox! This was the exciting finish
to a fun-filled outing to the Oakland
Coliseum on July 14. The day started
with a relaxing tailgate barbecue in
the Coliseum parking lot. About 70
members enjoyed brats and hot
dogs grilled by master griller, John
Minamoto. A variety of green salads,
potato salad, potato chips, fruit, and
desserts topped off the menu.
Thank you very much to those
that brought snacks to share. Thank
you also to Ron and June Nomura, Jon
and Linda Takagaki, John Minamo-
to, Don Kaneshige, Ruth Terada, and
Christine Kamita for helping setup the
tailgate and prepping the food. Thanks
to Jeff Hisaoka for taking photos.

Welcome Back to Dharma School A MESSAGE FROM DHARMA SCHOOL CO-SUPERINTENDENTS DELIA IKEDA AND MELYSSA MINAMOTO
Bazaar 2019
A NEW DHARMA SCHOOL YEAR and academic year is upon us and
summer has come to an end. Our
emotions are excited for what is
to come this year and perhaps
somewhat sad for all that has ended
last year. Our minds and bodies are
preparing to get into the routine of
attending church on Sundays and
school on the weekdays. So goes
the impermanence of life—one cycle
ends and another begins. Dharma
School is a great opportunity to slow
down each week, be present, and
become awakened to things as they
are and ourselves as we are. We do
this at the Dharma Family Service
at 10 a.m. through meditation, su-
tra chanting, and Sensei’s Dharma
Message. Then we continue after
service in our classrooms with fun,
thoughtful, hands-on learning about
living a Jodo-Shinshu Buddhist life.
Our first day of Dharma School is
September 8th.
Speaking of “ourselves as we
are,” Dharma School students wear
many hats (teammate, band mate,
volunteer, student of other schools,
human being who needs rest, etc.),
as do their parents. Throughout the
year, commitments place demands
on our time. We do the best we can.
Shinran taught us that there are dif-
ferent ways to practice awareness.
For us, that might look like attend-
ing church most Sundays, or it might
look like attending only Shotsuki me-
morial services. No matter how your
practice materializes, no matter how
often you make it to church, you are
always welcome at Dharma School.
This year, we’ll be hosting a period-
ic Kids’ Club on Saturday nights for
members and non-members alike to
socialize and share in the Dharma
with fun activities, games, music, din-
ner and movies. Stay tuned for more
information. If your children are pre-
school (age 3) to high school age and
you are interested in having them
attend Dharma School at any point
in the year, please complete the en-
closed registration form and mail it
to the church (c/o Dharma School),
or email a scanned copy/photo to
Let’s look forward to an
enjoyable Dharma School year of
meeting new people, learning
new lessons about things as they
are and ourselves as we are, and
experiencing Oneness in different
ways. And yet, let’s also look back
with gratitude for all that Maya
Lawrence, teachers, Sensei, and
current families have done to keep
our Dharma School operating at a
high level and to shine a bright light
on the Dharma in our lives. A spe-
cial thank you for donations to the
Dharma School from Maya
Lawrence for her gift quilt, Yasuhiko
and Margaret Aoki for Veterans
Shikisho, and Jensen and Lianne
Tsujimoto-Wong for Ryan’s
college graduation. Thank you also to
our Dharma School families for their
help at Bazaar. n

BUDDHIST CHURCH OF OAKLAND 32nd ANNUAL BENEFIT GOLF TOURNAMENT
Dear Members and Friends: The Buddhist Church of Oakland is proud to sponsor its 32nd Annual Benefit Golf Tournament to be held at the Berkeley Country Club (formerly Mira Vista Golf & Country Club), 7901 Cutting Boulevard, El Cerrito, CA 94530. This year’s tourney is slated for a later date than last year’s event. It will be on September 30, 2019, Monday. We are, once again, offering corporate sponsorships to invite local community organizations, companies or individuals to further participate in the church’s programs including community outreach. Three levels of corporate sponsorship are available. Each level provides corporate representatives to participate as well as opportunities to identify your company or business in our program and at the golf course. Other opportunities include providing a donation that could be used as a raffle or door prize. We also ask you to consider supporting this fundraiser by being a hole-sponsor for the tournament. In recognition of your monetary donation of $100 or more for the hole-sponsor, a sign advertising your business or your personal sponsorship will be displayed at one of the 18 tee areas and will be acknowledged in the printed program. The proceeds of this tourney will go towards addressing the maintenance challenges that are in many cases long overdue at the church. A list of the types of sponsorships and donations are on the second page. In order for your donation to be properly acknowledged in the program, please complete and return the form on Page 2 to the Buddhist Church of Oakland by September 16, Monday. It is with deepest gratitude and appreciation to the many participants and donors over the years that we are able to continue having this annual event. Your consideration of supporting this event is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Sincerely,
Keiju Terada, Committee Chair Committee Members: Michael Endo, Mary Hiromoto, Eric Ikeda, Linda Minamoto, Edward Mon, Peter Nakaso, John Neishi, Ron Nomura, Jeff Suda, Ted Tanisawa, Gary Tominaga, Janet Tsukahira
