7 Eitaikyo & November Shotsuki Hoyo Sunday, November 24, 2013 Service at 1:30 p.m. The Eitaikyo Service is a memorial service for people who have handed down the teaching of the Nembutsu to us. In the glossary in our temple s service book, "Eitaikyo" is defined as a "perpetual memorial service." This is a general memorial service for all departed members of the temple. The word Eitaikyo actually means "perpetual sutra." Eitai means "perpetual" and Kyo means "sutra," or "teaching of Buddha." Bodhi Day & December Shotsuki Hoyo Sunday, December 15, 2013 Service at 1:30 p.m. Otoki Lunch at 12:00 p.m. GUEST SPEAKER: Bhante Madawala Seelawimala After entering the monastery at the age of nine, he began his studies after graduating from University in Sri Lanka, his teacher who was a friend of Bishop Kenryu Tsuji suggested he come to the United States to live and teach Buddhism. He has been a professor of Buddhism at IBS for over 25 years. He has founded temples in Sacramento and other areas. At the age of 35, while meditating under the bodhi tree, Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment and became Sakyamuni Buddha. By his example, the Buddha showed us that it was possible for anyone to become a Buddha - a fully enlightened person. We commemorate this very special event on Bodhi Day. Joya-E (Last Night Gathering) New Year's Eve Service Tuesday, December 31, 2013 Service at 8:00 p.m. Potluck Dinner prior to service at 6:30 p.m. This year end service is held to express gratitude for all the causes and conditions which have allowed us to live this past year. It is a time to reflect upon the interdependence of all Sangha members and the lives we live. At the end of the service all those attending the service participate in the ringing of the Joya no Kane (Last Night Bell). The Temple Bell is rung 108 times signifying the 108 Bonno or Passions that make up our human existence. This bell is rung to recognize these traits in our own personalities and express appreciation for Amida Buddha's compassion, which embraces us, even though we are bound by these passions.
