President’s
Message Allan Hoshida BCA National Council Meeting Summary On the weekend of March 9, 10 and 11, President-Elect Don Masuda, Reverend Bob, Reverend Kaz and myself represented the Sacramento Betsuin as delegates to the Buddhist Churches of America (BCA) Ministers Association and National Council Meeting held at the Marriott Hotel in Oakland (Mary Ann Miyao also attended as the BCA national board secretary). Temple delegate representatives and ministers from all over the United States, as well as two delegates from Hawaii, attended this annual gathering to discuss important BCA agenda items, review/approve 2007-08 budgets, etc. Delegates were offered the opportunity to visit and have a guided tour of the recently completed Jodo Shinshu Center (JSC) in Berkeley on Friday afternoon. The Friday evening Town Hall meeting was totally dedicated to review/assess, ask questions, hear different viewpoints of various motions and alternate proposals to resolve the tremendous debt ($11.9 million) that BCA has encumbered in its development and construction of the Jodo Shinshu Center project. A brief summary of the various motions/alternate proposals to help pay down the debt, some of which is due in April ($3.5 million) and December ($4.1 million) 2007: - Motion #1 - Mortgage Pool Loan concept: BCA temples and/or members may buy shares to be used to pay down existing debt. This is a loan by individual temples/members to BCA and must still be paid back with interest. Approval of this motion to further develop concept and implement, if appropriate. This motion was APPROVED. - Motion #2 - Use existing funds, such as Zaidan Fund, Ministers’ Income Protection Plan, Hongwanji and Ryukoku Balance in BCA Endowment, Ryukoku University Fund, Monshu Building Fund for a total of $2.57 million. This motion was APPROVED. - Motion #3: Special BCA dues assessment for the 2007-08 fiscal year of approximately $60/member. Most temple delegates did not favor a required per member dues/assessment concept. This motion was NOT APPROVED. - A proposal by Coast District Ministerial Association: A one-time assessment from all BCA temples of $700 per member to pay off the current $11.9 million debt associated with the construction and opening of the Buddhist Churches of America Jodo Shinshu Center in Berkeley. This proposal was discussed but WITHDRAWN, after the vote on motion #3 was not approved. - Alternative Plan for JSC Financing presented by the Northwest District Council: Sale/Leaseback Concept: Sell the JSC building to buyer and lease back property for long-term use by BCA. The current outstanding debt is $11.9 million with estimated value of JSC building of $20 million, or $8.1 million left over, after sale, for payment of lease. This proposal was discussed but was not formally presented after the Town Hall Meeting and was WITHDRAWN. - A proposal by Seattle Betsuin: Assess each temple $1,000 per member and send the bill with credit given to the amount already contributed by temple members to the 21st Century Campaign through January 31, 2007. This proposal was discussed but was not presented after the vote on motion #3 was not approved. Proposal WITHDRAWN. San Mateo Proposal: This proposal was not formally presented for vote. The main thrust of this proposal was to obtain additional information, prior to going back to the individual temples so everyone could intelligently discuss and answer any questions posed by members, such as: Who authorized the debt? Who was overseeing construction costs? What caused the skyrocketing costs? Why weren’t the Campaign BCA goals increased to match the increased costs? What is the timeline of cost and debt escalation? Revamp oversight committee. Unfortunately, most of these good questions/concerns were not adequately answered or addressed by the BCA National Board leadership. The BCA Endowment Foundation also approved a requested loan to BCA of $2.3 million with conditions. This loan plus the approval of motions #1 and 2 above should give BCA enough funds to pay for the April 2007 debt payments of $3.552 million. However, there was not an overall clear plan to pay off the remaining outstanding loans/debt other than the 21st Century Campaign and/or future assessments. As can be detected by the various motions and alternate means of financing the debt, there was much discussion, deep concerns raised regarding the review and oversight of JSC project, with very little checks and balance. Many delegates were very disappointed with how the JSC project had been handled and by majority vote most were against any kind of required member assessment to pay off the debt. The 21st Century Campaign to raise $30 million is ongoing and will need much more support if it is to realize that goal as well as to retire the current outstanding debt. The campaign committee is revising its marketing and promotional literature and is willing to visit any temple that wishes more updated information. Toward the end of the session, there were a number of appeals to delegates to go back to their temples and encourage everyone to continue supporting the campaign and help further the BCA programs and facilities. The above information/summary was presented to and discussed with our Betsuin Board of Trustees at our March monthly meeting. Very much like the national Council meeting, there were many diverse viewpoints — all very valid and thoughtful. Our board will continue this discussion and come to a resolution as to what the Betsuin should be doing within the next month or so. If there are any questions, thoughts, concerns you may have regarding any of the above information, please call me or leave a message at the church office. Some additional notes: - Congratulations to the Cub Scout Pack 50 on its 35th Anniversary Celebration on Friday, February 16. I especially want to acknowledge Cubmaster Bobby Tanaka, Assistant Cubmaster Dennis Ishisaka and Parent Chair Barbara Sasaki for organizing a wonderful evening with many of the original adult leaders/parents and Cubs in attendance. - Thanks to Kelvin Mark/Social Services Committee and volunteers for representing the Sacramento Betsuin at the Greenhaven Emergency Preparedness Event on Saturday, March 10. I understand this was a successful event with over 4,000 people in attendance. Thanks, Kelvin. - I would like to thank Cub Scout Pack 50 for the $500 donation to help pay for a new screen in the Kaikan. - Reminder from the Social Services Committee: Blood Drive on April 22. - Please come and attend the special Hanamatsuri service and Dharma School play on April 8. Rinban Bob Oshita Hello and welcome to the month of April. This month, we celebrate the birth of the historical Shakyamuni Buddha with our annual Hanamatsuri Service and Dharma School play. This year, our guest speaker will be Sensei Peter Inokoji-Kim from the Tri-State Denver Buddhist Temple. Sensei Peter has been on track with our Betsuin minister’s assistants since 2003. He has also been an integral part of the Betsuin planning and teaching team for the YAC Retreats that were hosted here at our Sacramento Betsuin in 2005 and 2006. It is always wonderful to welcome him back to Sacramento. Our Hanamatsuri play this year was written and will be produced and directed by Cliff Adams and Ann Amioka with the able assistance of student directors Tadao Koyama and Sydney Adams. It is entitled, “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Golden Chain.” I’d like to thank Cliff and Ann for always doing such a terrific job. We look forward to seeing everyone throughout the month of April and especially on Sunday, April 8, for our Hanamatsuri Service and play. Let’s all come out and welcome Sensei Peter back to Sacramento and enjoy together another great Hanamatsuri play. Grace Hatano What does springtime mean to you? Flowers blooming? April showers? Tax time? Let’s take a moment and reflect. Many of our Dharma students — from the very young to those in the upper division — experienced their own March Madness practicing for their basketball tournaments. They focused on playing well competitively and having fun — with emphasis on having fun. Peeking into the kaikan on Sundays, I witnessed players no taller than Shaq’s knees listening to instructions from their coaches then bursting out of their huddle and hustling down the court. They dribbled and passed the ball, dodged other players, and even made a basket or two. The ball looks to be almost as big as they are! I could see that they were doing their best and having lots of fun. Each endeavor was praised by the coaches, which encouraged the players to want to do better. In April, we are busy preparing the Hanamatsuri program, “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Golden Chain.” All lower division classes are working on unique presentations to make the play very special this year. Our kindergarten class has been working on the props that our “Dads in Training” made for our special segment of the play. Each child took special pride sketching, coloring, drawing flowers, hearts and rainbows, and signing their names so they can proudly say, “I did this!” They will be “traveling” from Korea to Japan during their exciting few minutes of fame in the play. It’s wonderful to see how this comes together on Hanamatsuri Sunday, April 8. Leading up to the big day, Dharma students are practicing in their classrooms, and the directors, producers and actors work as a team to make this another successful play for Dharma School. Don’t miss this year’s Hanamatsuri program. It’s going to be great! The following week, we minister’s assistants — Patti, Tim, Carol and I — will be in Berkeley to attend our semi-annual Minister’s Assistants Program session. We look forward to continuing our studies, hearing lectures from the learned teachers, and seeing our friends. We are grateful, and appreciate the support and guidance from our ministers, Reverend Bob and Reverend Kaz, and our Sangha, for allowing us to attend these study sessions. The encouragement and support extended to us, and being able to participate and assist wherever and whenever we’re needed, makes us mindful and proud of our purpose, which is to serve our Betsuin. I appreciate the many suggestions and guidance given to me that helps me do my best. We are so fortunate that we can enjoy so many wonderful events and competitive activities at our church. Whether we are enjoying competitive sports or learning the teachings of everyday life, we should remember to be grateful for all we have and continue to give our best effort always. And remember to do your taxes, not get too wet, and stop and smell the flowers this month.

There seems to be a trend this past March: Let’s see — we had our usual home-spun March Madness with our annual tournament, the SJUMC annual tournament and the SASF annual tournament, and the NCAA-held games at our very own ARCO Arena. Can you answer the question as to why the NCAA Eastern Regional games were held in Northern California, just about as far west as one can go without a boat? I guess it’s the same as trying to figure out which college football team is the national champion when there are over 20 different “bowl games.” Which bowl game is the real championship game? Is it the Rose Bowl? The Orange Bowl? Or the Rice Bowl? In addition to our usual madness this past March, we enjoyed other basketball phenomena, yes, more than one phenomenon, when the 8th Grade Sutter Middle School Boys Basketball team won the NorCal Tournament to cap off their undefeated season and likewise the 7th and 8th Grade Sutter Girls Basketball teams both won the Metro City Tournament to also go undefeated for their seasons. Congratulations to all those Sutter players who also play for our Betsuin! This basketball feat was followed by our local Kennedy and McClatchy girls basketball teams advancing into the post-season playoff tournaments. McClatchy went deeper into post-season play than Kennedy, a place where the school hasn’t seen for quite some time, and their madness was evident when they literally packed 1,000 — yes, one thousand — people into the McClatchy gym, and out of that 1,000 only about 30 seemed to be Oakland Tech fans. You can say that place was jumpin’ that night. In fact, the noise and sound waves were so loud and strong that 70-year-old dust bunnies could be seen floating down from the rafters, not to mention the sauna-like conditions produced by those 1,000 people. So, getting back to our little tournament, this year there were 123 teams participating and playing on 18 different courts. By all accounts it was another successful tournament with nary a hitch in our getalong. This was all made possible due to our tireless and dedicated Tournament Chairperson Austin Nodohara. Congratulations and thank you for a job well done! Thanks also go out to the Division Coordinators, Gym Coordinators, Concession Coordinators, Social Coordinator, Dance Coordinator, the Sports Committee and everyone else who laid a helping hand in our tournament. Well, 36 down, and the 37th to come! A full recap of the March tournaments will be forthcoming. Even though the tournaments are practically behind us now, please remember the 60 percent attendance requirement. Any player falling below the 60 percent will be suspended from play until the attendance percentage gets above 60 percent. It is very important to continue to attend both Dharma Service and Dharma Class to get attendance credit during the months of April, May and June because these months are used to calculate the attendance percentage in the fall for the next season of the NCCL League and poor attendance during these months could make a player ineligible. Attendance is calculated on a rolling calendar. The rolling calendar is the immediate prior 12 months that rolls as each month passes. To be eligible to play in the March tournaments this year, the attendance records from March 2006 through February 2007 must be over 60 percent; and next October, the attendance records from October 2006 through September 2007. So, attendance throughout the entire Dharma School year is critical. Please, continue to attend Dharma Service and class until the picnic, and your attendance will be in good standing. Until then. Important dates to remember: April 8: Hanamatsuri June 16-17: Central Cal Tournament in Fresno Bobby Tanaka Open registration for Cub Scout Pack 50 is just around the corner! All interested boys ages 6-9, will have an opportunity to join this fine organization. The Pack is tons of fun, and the boys learn so much! An orientation/registration meeting will take place on Sunday, April 22, right after Dharma School.

Richard Kai The journey came to an end for the senior high school players from a basketball perspective as representatives of the Sacramento Betsuin’s Sports Committee in league and tournament play. These kids were special from the very first time they assembled as a wide-eyed, eager and apprehensive group of 8-year-olds nearly 10 years ago. Some of them just needed the coaches to open the gym doors to a lifetime of enjoyment and memories, while others had to be pushed just a little to get them to participate each and every year. The first group of volunteer workers set the stage with a coach’s circle time before the kids were allowed to take the court. They would talk to the 8-year-olds about the game, showed them techniques to do a lay-up, to skillfully pass the ball to a teammate, and taught them the difference between dribbling and bouncing a basketball. New skills were added each practice — how to pivot, rebound, shoot and most of all have fun while playing the game. On the surface the kids were being taught the game, but more importantly they were building concepts of sportsmanship, leadership, dignity and to be gracious winners and losers, regardless of what side of the ledger their team was on. These founding principles stayed with them as they moved up the ladder to junior high, high school and club basketball teams. The social skills of these young adults blossomed during these years as well as enabling them to fit right in with kids outside the Betsuin’s league of play. They moved together gracefully from early grade school though high school with many forming club ball teams to continue their love of the game and lifelong friendships. The parents of these graduating seniors appreciate the unselfish leadership of the Sports Committee, its members and the many coaches and volunteers who made all this happen. Upcoming Events April 8: Hanamatsuri Service — No Class April 27, 28, 29: Dharma School Teachers Conference — No Class May 13: Gotan-e Service Dharma School “Courtyard” gratefully acknowledges donations from the following: 2nd Grade Class 8th Grade Class & Parents Gladys Adachi Girl Scouts Troop 569 Ruth Hayashi Junior YBA Toshiko Kawasaki Utako Kimura Mary Orite Mollie Oto Sachi Sawada Shirley Sekeres Hiroko Takamoto Sueko Yamashita Fuzzy Yokoyama Boy ScoutsBenjamin Fong From February 12 to March 12, the troop has had numerous events happening. On the week of February 16, there were patrol meetings, and that Saturday, February 17, were two events: Snow Training led by Assistant Scoutmaster Doug Lowe, and a recognition dinner for Assistant Scoutmaster Warren Yasuhara for achieving a Silver Bear award. On February 23, there was a troop meeting and again the following Saturday there was another Snow Training. There was going to be Snow Camping, but the trip was cancelled due to snow problems. The troop meeting included a guest speaker who was a drill sergeant for the Air Force. For the whole troop meeting, the Scouts did exercises such as running, pushups, etc. They were able to get a taste of what the armed forces are like. During the month of March the theme of the troop was camping. On March 2, there was a guest speaker, Doctor Hamman, who came to speak about being a doctor and how Boy Scouts has helped him and affected his life. On that same Friday, there was a troop meeting where “The 10 Essentials” were reviewed. The Scouts learned about the most essential items one would need in a time of emergency or survival. The following Friday, March 7, there was another troop meeting where some potential new members to the troop were guests. The troop was able to show off how fun it is and spark interest in the Webelos Scouts. On Sunday, March 11, the troop volunteered, as they do every year, for the Spring Food Festival. The Scouts helped the church to raise money, giving back to the organization that sponsors them. Girl Scouts Troop 569Tricia Wu Borges Once again, Troop 569 had an outstanding cookie sale. We sold 22,193 boxes of cookies! A big THANK YOU goes to Ray and Donna Valdovino for all of their time and effort in organizing and coordinating this fundraiser. Another big thanks goes to Tim Castle, Ron Okino, Roger Ikemoto, Ken Okuhara, John Koyama, Larry Wong, Mark and Keri Umeda, and Judy Tanaka for their help with a smooth and easy delivery and pickup at the church. This would not have happened without family and friends supporting Girl Scouts. Thank you, everyone! The Girl Scouts held their annual Thinking Day Ceremony on March 16. They had an “Amazing Race” and everyone was entertained by songs, dances or skits from France, Germany, Spain, Austria, Ireland and Antarctica with Disneyland as the final destination. Thank you to Lindsay Nozuka and Seniors 2 for coordinating the presentation. One final thank you to everyone who donated baked goods for the Spring Food Festival. There was such a large variety of treats to choose from, it was hard to decide what to get! Brownies 5 had a great cookie site sale. Thank you to all of the church members and others at the Spring Food Festival who supported our troop by buying cookies from us! In April, we are starting our numbers and shapes try-it. For our try-it, we played with origami, learned many ways to put together tangrams, and made pictures composed of shapes. We will continue to finish this try-it in May, also. Brownies 2 had their very first site sale at Bel Air on Florin Road. They learned the basics of customer service, product knowledge, cash handling, and the importance of location, location, location. They are looking forward to next year! Seniors 2 attended trainings for the Gold Award, First Aid and CPR. Now they are certified for two years! In addition, the girls planned, coordinated and ran the Thinking Day ceremony with the BIG Event — The Amazing Race. The girls are also scheduled to work with Brownies 3 to do a try-it and will do some fun activities to celebrate Mother’s Day. Sacramento Buddhist Women’s Association J. M.
