Sangha
President’s
Message Allan Hoshida Our New Year’s Eve Service (Joya-e) was very well attended with almost 500 folks attending. This service was a good way to express gratitude for the countless blessings we have received throughout the year. At the end of service, each one was able to ring in the new year by hitting our temple bell. Our New Year’s Day Service (Shusho-e) was also well attended, followed by a fabulous otoki luncheon, organized by Patti Oshita, Michiko Nakata and our super heroes Reiko, Gladys & Crew. Special thanks to all of the Sangha members who brought numerous delicious foods and a certain special drink to share. This is a wonderful Betsuin tradition, to socialize and greet each other on this the first day of the new year. The following have been selected for the 2007 Legacy Endowment Fund Board (Please note: This is a separate, independent board created in 2005 that has its own set of bylaws and is supposed to develop and enable long-term financial capability for special needs for our temple, organizations and members): Ted Yoshimura, Ruth Seo, Ken Furukawa, Hank Nishikawa, Mark Umeda, Valerie Fong, Marcia Matsuda and Kelvin Mark. Rinban Bob and I will be ex-officio members. Thank you all for your participation, help/assistance and guidance for this coming year. This past December 17, 2006, as part of the Betsuin officer Installation, the Dharma School (under the leadership of Richard Kai) recognized Dr. Ken Furukawa, an officer in the Air Force Reserve. Ken has recently been called up to serve our country and has been deployed to Afghanistan. Ken will be missed since he has been so actively involved as Dharma School teacher, Board of Trustees member, Sakura Gakuen Board President and member of our Legacy Endowment Fund Board. Leilani and family, please feel free to call any of us in the Sangha if there is anything we can do for you in Ken’s absence. Our hearts go out to you and your family. Ken, thank you for your service, and we look forward to your safe return. On March 9-11, the BCA National Council Meeting will be held in Oakland, hosted by the Bay District. Temple representatives will be attending from all over the United States to discuss BCA’s budget, Campaign BCA —The 21st Century, and many other issues. On the agenda is a visit to the newly completed Jodo Shinshu Center in Berkeley. In addition to myself, the following persons will be attending from our temple:
I would like to acknowledge and thank the following for their generous donation:
The choir, under the long-time leadership of Machiko Kimura, is looking for interested members who like to get together and sing. No experience required. So if you want to join a wonderful group of temple members and share in the singing, please sign up at the office or give Machiko or any member of the choir a call. Also, the Kid’s Choir under the leadership of Nancy Hashimoto and Leilani Ito is inviting interested kids to join and participate in their singing group. Have fun, meet new folks and sing…what a great combination. A reminder to the Board of Trustees, Elders, Affiliated and Sponsored Organizations, Minister Assistants: On Tuesday, February 13 at 6:50 p.m., we will be having our board photos taken prior to our board meeting. Rinban Bob Oshita Hello… And welcome to the second month of 2007. Last month, Patti and I were fortunate to attend a Southern California Jr. YBA Seminar, hosted by the Orange County Buddhist Temple. The theme of the conference revolved around the Buddhist concept of “dana.” An act of “dana” is the act of “giving;” and “pure dana” is to “give unselfishly.” They are acts of unselfish loving kindness. Years ago I heard a story. It was about a young Nisei soldier who was stationed in post-war Japan during the Occupation. While on leave, he arranged to visit the village and home where his Issei parents grew up. Times were hard… and he brought with him a rare treat to share — bars of Hershey’s chocolates. He passed them out. There was just enough for everyone to have their own. As he enjoyed the smiles on all the happy faces eating the chocolate bars, he noticed one of his cousins, a young mother, just holding hers, while her young son devoured his. The soldier encouraged her to try it, saying it was delicious. The mother replied, “Yes, but it is even more delicious to me when my child is enjoying it.” Such is the nature of a parent’s love. Just as this young child enjoyed a second chocolate treat completely unaware of his mother’s loving kindness, all of us have been able to live each day, because of the countless acts of “pure dana” that have always nurtured and sustained us. When our dharma eyes open to this reality, we cannot help but begin to sense that profound level of gratitude beyond words… that we call o-nembutsu. Let us try to live each day with our dharma eyes open. RB Minister's AssistantTim Castle Although I know all of you will be reading this in February, as I write this in January I still feel the need to say…Happy 2007! Although this new year brings about a sense of excitement and hope, it is also a time of year when one of my favorite seasons is ending. The holiday season? Nope. Pro football season? Nope. The end of my New Year’s resolutions? Nope, because I didn’t make any until the end of this article! The end of January means the end of our yearly Metta-Padma class for our fourth grade scouts. Every year for the past 22 years, fourth grade scouts (and their parents and siblings too) have been fortunate to be able to take part in Reverend Bob’s Metta-Padma class. The Metta-Padma class is a joint Girl Scout and Boy Scout religious program that teaches the basic history and principles of Buddhism, and then goes into even more detail into our own Jodo-Shinshu history and teachings. For the last four years or so, Reverend Bob has asked the ministers’ assistants to sit in on these classes, help out with a couple of the classes when needed, and assist in conducting the final verbal exam. During each session, it is a true treat to listen to and see RB interact with the kids and be able to soak up some of the energy and excitement in the room. It is this energy and excitement that makes this class a memorable time for all who attend. When the class is being conducted, it is awesome to see the kids react to the Dharma and to glimpse Buddhism through the eyes of children. As children, they have no fear of seeing things as they truly are. They have little or no preconceived ideas of religion, are open to experience anything, and are willing to question everything. They see things with eyes not clouded by the inhibition of age. When something is funny, they laugh. When something is serious, they reflect and show compassion. When asked a question, hands are raised with little fear of making a mistake. When one of them misses a question, there are five hands in the air willing to help out their classmate…they always seem to have each others’ back. They truly have their Dharma-eyes wide open. So what happens to us as adults? When did we stop laughing at a good booger joke? When did we stop taking an extra minute or two to really talk and listen to each other, reflect and show compassion? When did we stop watching out for each other? For me, I think it simply comes down to being so preoccupied with trivial items that too often I take things too seriously. For 2007, I resolve to try my best and learn a lesson from our fourth grade teachers of the Dharma…a lesson so similar to words expressed by Socho Ogui: “Don’t be afraid to make mistakes” - Raise your hand when asked a question. “Don’t be too serious” - When something is funny, laugh. “Don’t lose your sincerity” - Listen, reflect, show compassion. As always, find your own Dharma groove in the new year!

Church MaintenanceEd Imai Over the past month, the following members performed maintenance on the Betsuin’s facilities. The Betsuin is sincerely appreciative to the following members for volunteering their time and hard efforts: - John Fujimoto for installing safety sleeves over 8-foot florescent light bulbs in Annex. - Gary Traganza for installing light switch and conduit in rear of main altar. For the purchase of a set of screwdrivers and a metal toolbox for the maintenance room and for organizing the room. Thank you to an anonymous donor to the Betsuin for the purchase and installation of a large screen HD TV or monitor for the Little Hondo. The Maintenance Committee and church is grateful for these contributions that defray the costs of our long list of equipment needs, such as AV screens, toilet sink faucets, kitchen appliances, etc. Lastly, as a note, please handle the church tables and chairs with care when using the facilities, especially in the kaikan and classrooms. If we handle them gently when taking them out or putting them away, they will last for hopefully another generation. Bazaar61st ANNUAL JAPANESE FOOD & CULTURAL BAZAAR!

(The SRI was invented by Mr. Steve Degusta, JFK Molecular Biology, Retired.) The SRI is your pop quiz for this month, and today’s subject is last month’s Sangha. Were you paying attention last month? In case you missed it, there were many shameless, transparent and obvious references to pop cultural icons of the past imbedded within the article. Your mission, if you decide to accept it, is to figure out just how many unabashed references there were. Ready, begin. While you are scrambling around, turning the house upside down trying to locate last month’s Sangha, we will continue with this month’s news. Now that it is February, there are only a few more league games left to play. As a reminder, the last weekend of February, February 24-25, has been reserved for make-up games. So if for some reason one of your games was postponed, it will be played during this “make-up” weekend. Don’t forget that league games normally scheduled to play on Super Bowl Sunday, February 4, will be played on Saturday, February 3 to make way for the Super Bowl festivities. And after all the league games are over and done, it will now be tournament time. March is chock full of tournaments starting off the very first weekend, March 3-4, with our very own 36th Annual Betsuin Basketball Tournament. Yes, way back in 1972, our very first tournament was played. In fact, many parents watching their kids play today, played in those early tournaments. Here are some excerpts from a 1972 newspaper article: The San Francisco Ardenettes defeated the Berkeley Sanghas 29-20 to win the girls’ championship in the first annual Sacramento Betsuin invitational basketball tournament….Third place went to the Sacramento Junior YBA Starlettes. Fresno B-Babes won the team sportsmanship award. Girls making the all-star team included: Themy-jo Adachi and Wendy Adachi, Berkeley Sanghas; Teri Fukushima and Jami Tanihana, Sacramento Starlettes; and Jeannie Kinoshita, San Francisco Ardenettes. The most valuable award was presented to Sylvia Lee of the Ardenettes….In the boys division, the San Francisco Associates fought a closely contested battle to edge the Sacramento Stars 74-70….The all-stars were made up of the following: Kenny Mizono and Reggie Regino, Associates; Tony Mendoza, San Mateo JYO; Paul Fukumae, Layman Saints; David Ino and Wayne Ogawa, S.F. YBA; Stan Ota and Lance Uyeda, Sacramento Stars. Robert Midzuno of the Associates was voted the most valuable player. Two years later, in 1974, an accounting of our tournament went like this: Bruce Kushida, Diane Furuya and Dean Matsuura were named Most Valuable Players of the Third Annual Betsuin Basketball tournament. In the boys gold division, the Sacramento Stars edged the San Jose Zebras. Kushida’s near perfect shooting and a persistent Star defense were the determining factor in the Sacramento win.
All stars in the gold division were Rodney Kunisaki, Stars; Richard Kanamaru and Dana Ueda, Stockton Shoguns; Tim Kawaguchi and Ward Shimizu, Zebras; Vick Kyotani and Dean Louie, Sacramento Nichiren; and Rick Takahashi of the Berkeley Sycamore Lords.
The Berkeley Sanghas came from behind in the final few minutes of their final game to win the girls’ division title. Girls’ all stars were Merry Yamamoto and Jami Tanihana, Sacramento Starlettes; Jayme Tanimoto and Eileen Furukawa, Florin; Lynette Yasuhara, San Jose CYS; Gloria Yamauchi and Patty Fukushima, Sacramento Jades.
A well-disciplined Sacramento Royals team led by Dean Matsuura defeated the Richmond Owls in the boy’s silver division. Silver all stars were Sherman Takata and Jeff Sano, Owls; Jeff Shinseki, Tri-City Mt. View; Mike Uejo, Berkeley Ohtani; Jeff Ota and Ryne Nishimi, Royals; Len Miyahara and Darren Okamoto, San Jose CYS. As you can see, there are many familiar names in these articles. A few names, to be honest, were a huge surprise, but he’ll retell his version over a beer anytime anyplace. Anyway, there is a lot of history with our tournament. Catch the 36th Annual if you can. Again, many thanks go out to Mrs. Ota for researching the origins of our little basketball tournament. Getting back to the SRI, if you got over 15, then you are on the right track. See you later.

Richard Kai Working on the dark side, or I should say in the private sector, after 36 years of civil service does have its rewards and provides me with an opportunity to see what a few governmental agencies are doing across the state to serve the people of California. Take for instance several voter-approved initiatives — Proposition 84 passed last November, along with the highly successful Propositions 13, 50, and 204 were all approved by the voters to increase water quality, storage, watershed and ecosystems throughout the Bay-Delta. More than $5 billion of bonds have been sold and spent over the last six years as a result of these initiatives. The majority of funds were targeted toward the four improvement objectives previously mentioned. Beneath all the rhetoric of these initiatives, however, is a Dharma message stemming from the Delta acting as a gateway to transfer water to the Central Valley for agricultural purposes and to Southern California for the growth of twinkle town. So, what does this have to do with the Dharma? Well, the change caused by increasing the water levels by raising levee heights to hold and store more water in the Bay-Delta resulted in an imbalance in the area’s ecosystem. Wonder why the striped bass runs aren’t the same as in the olden days? Why salmon are not in abundance as before? Why levee breaks are more prominent in recent years? It’s all because feeder fish such as the delta smelt were drowned out by the increase of water held in the Bay-Delta awaiting conveyance to Southern California. Was science ignored as the demand for water increased? Was there an under appreciation for the interdependence of all life forms that live in the Bay-Delta and how each contributes to sustain the life of other forms? Was this effect understood by our civic leaders? If so, did they tout the solution by convincing voters to spend billions of dollars to recreate nature’s balance under the brand name of “safe, quality, drinking water?” Who could argue with wanting safe drinking water? The moral of the story is: don’t mess with Mother Nature or you’ll pay the price. That we did in many ways.

December 15 was a tentative patrol meeting date. December 22 was the beginning of the SCUCD Winter Break, which also gave us a break from Scouts. On January 5, there was a Crab Feed meeting in the kaikan at 6:30. During the meeting, the Scouts attended a presentation made by Troop 250’s Mr. Don Honda, who discussed careers in pharmacy. Afterwards, the Scouts started their troop meeting, and parents attended their meeting at 7:30, which was cut short because there was an Eagle ceremony at 8 p.m., giving Scouts Collin Chew, Kenneth Oshiro and Scott Shironaka their Eagle rank. On January 12, there was a Greenbar at 6:30 and a troop meeting at 7:30. There was also a Crab Feed meeting for the adults. On January 13, there was patrol leader training at the Buddhist Church. On January 17, there was a Crab Feed meeting, and on January 19, the Scouts set up for the Crab Feed. On January 20, Scouts and their families were treated to dinner from 3:45-5 p.m. before the Boy Scout Crab Feed that occurred at 6 p.m. January 26 was another tentative patrol meeting date. On Friday, February 2, there will be a Scout Sunday rehearsal at 7 p.m. The actual Scout Sunday will be on February 4, at 8:15 in the morning. On February 9, there will be a Greenbar and a troop meeting. There will also be a parent meeting. On February 10, there will be snow training for the upcoming snow trips. With the holidays over, it looks like Scouting is getting warmed up for the year! Girl Scouts Troop 569Marcy Ching Cookies, Cookies, Cookies! The Girl Scouts have been taking cookie orders since January 12, but if you missed placing your order, the girls will be selling cookies in the courtyard on Sundays after service, sometime at the end of February. If you have already purchased your cookies, thank you very much for supporting Troop 569. Also, there have been sightings of Troop 569 photos at the Belle Cooledge library, so if you have a chance, take a peek! Brownies 5 geared up for cookie sales this past month with our cookie sale try-it. We taught the girls many ways to ask somebody to buy a box of cookies, we let them loose with their order forms in their cute little hands on January 12! The girls were very excited about the cookie sales, and we discussed with them the end-of-the-year goal that they would like to have after the sales are done. We would like to send a special thank you to Betty Wilson, who will teach the girls how to make Spam musubi and other types of sushi at our second meeting of the month. The girls are really looking forward to MAKING sushi and musubi, but really looking forward to EATING them! Juniors 3 participated in a community service project for Meals on Wheels, which provides cold and hot meals to over 1,600 senior citizens throughout Sacramento County. The girls were given a tour of the facilities and were educated on the importance of the existence of this program to ensure no senior or no senior’s pet goes hungry. In a 45-minute time period, the girls helped stuff over 5,000 envelopes with the Meals on Wheels monthly newsletter. Also, the girls are working toward earning their Sign of the Star award; and they just completed earning the Looking Your Best badge. They will also be completing their Padma or God and Family award by the end of this February. Sacramento Buddhist Women’s Association J. M.
