Sensei’s Message
By
Rev.
Ronald
Kobata
April
2015
Come
ALIVE!
According
to
the
history
we
follow
in
the
BCA,
the
historical
Buddha
Sakyamuni
was
born
in
Lumbini
Garden
on
April
8,
almost
twenty‐six
centuries
ago.
The
legendary
accounts
of
his
birth
describe
that
at
the
moment
of
his
birth
he
stood
up
and
walked
seven
steps
to
the
North,
South,
East
and
West,
then
raised
his
Qny
fingers
up
to
the
sky
and
down
towards
the
earth,
and
proclaimed,
“In
the
heaven
above
and
on
earth
below,
I
am
the
most
honored
one.
I
shall
dispel
the
suffering
that
fills
the
world.”
This
proclamaQon
summarizes
the
meaning
of
our
religious
life
on
the
Buddhist
path.
This
year
we
will
celebrate
Sakyamuni
Buddha’s
birth
on
April
5,
with
a
10:00
a.m.
service
in
the
hondo
where
we
will
set
up
the
tradiQonal
Hana‐mido
(flower
shrine)
to
perform
the
tradiQonal
Kan‐Butsu
(bathing
Buddha)
ritual.
The
Dharma
message
for
the
Hana
Matsuri
(Flower
FesQval)
service
will
be
given
by
Rev.
Shousei
Hanayama
of
the
Watsonville
Buddhist
Temple.
Rev.
Hanayama
spent
four
years
of
his
childhood
in
Seabrook,
New
Jersey,
where
his
father
Rev.
Shoyu
Hanayama
served
the
Seabrook
Buddhist
Temple
from
1964
–
1968.
Shosei
Sensei’s
grandfather
Rev.
Shinsho
Hanayama
was
the
Bishop
of
the
BCA
from
1959
–
1968.
Special
musical
presentaQons
by
the
BCSF
choir
and
musicians,
along
with
a
performance
by
Dharma
School
students
will
be
included
in
the
service
program.
A
luncheon
will
be
served
following
the
service.
Let’s
join
together
to
commemorate
and
celebrate
the
person
who
came
ALIVE
to
the
Dharma.
Speaking
of
coming
alive,
during
this
month’s
San
Francisco
Interfaith
Council’s
meeQng
at
St.
Mark’s
Lutheran
Church
there
was
a
speaker,
Rev.
Floyd
Trammell,
who
related
his
faith
journey
to
his
present
posiQon
as
the
Spiritual
Care
Manager
with
the
Sojourn
Chaplaincy
at
San
Francisco
General
Hospital.
During
the
talk
he
shared
a
few
quotes
from
people
who
have
influenced
his
ministry.
I
was
especially
encouraged
to
hear
an
exhortaQon
afributed
to
Rev.
Howard
Thurman,
who
was
a
mentor
to
the
Rev.
Dr.
MarQn
Luther
King,
Jr.
The
quote
was,
“Don’t
ask
what
the
world
needs;
ask
what
makes
you
come
alive,
and
then
go
do
that.
Because
what
the
world
needs
is
people
who
have
come
alive.”
Following
Rev.
Trammell’s
talk,
I
went
to
thank
him
for
his
sharing
and
menQoned
to
him
that
I
had
been
using
the
phrase
“Come
ALIVE”
as
an
alternaQve
expression
for
the
Buddhist
term
enlightenment
and
explained
the
acronym
I’ve
created
for
ALIVE
as:
Aware
/
Loving
/
Inspired
/
Valued
/
Engaged.
He
appreciated
this
view
of
what
it
means
to
be
alive.
This
is
the
way
I
appreciate
the
meaning
of
the
infant’s
birth
and
proclamaQon
in
Lumbini
Garden
twenty‐six
hundred
years
ago
that
conQnues
to
inspire
us
to
come
alive,
One
with
Immeasurable
Life.

We
are
constantly
told
to
move
our
valuables
from
within
our
cars
and
secure
them
in
the
trunk.
However,
just
recently,
one
of
our
members
experienced
a
burglary
from
her
car
trunk.
This
member
had
parked
her
car
on
Austin
Alley
while
attending
the
Ohigan
service.
A
burglar
broke
into
her
car
trunk
and
made
off
with
some
valuables,
including
some
cash.
Fortunately,
her
car
was
not
damaged.
Please
be
mindful
of
what
you
put
in
your
car
trunk.
If
you
are
unfortunate
enough
to
be
a
victim
of
burglary,
please
consider
filing
a
police
report.
You
can
file
a
report
on‐line
by
going
to
www.sf‐police.org
and
clicking
File
a
Police
Report
under
Most
Requested.
You
may
not
get
your
stolen
items
back
but
filing
a
police
report
will
be
beneficial
during
SFPD
strategic
planning
time.
One
of
the
factors
that
is
considered
during
strategic
planning
is
the
number
of
police
reports
of
various
crimes.
The
districts
in
SF
that
report
more
crime
will
get
more
SFPD
attention.
Those
districts
that
do
not
have
much
theft
or
under‐report
thefts
are
less
likely
to
get
resources
during
resource
allocation.

Living Nembutsu
By
David
PaQng
Sensei
April
2015
Spring
Fever*
This
winter
has
been
extra‐ordinarily
dry.
We
are
in
fourth
year
of
no
rainfall—a
drought.
Looking
east,
the
Sierra
hills
are
topless
of
snow.
Their
nakedness
sounds
the
alarm
of
coming
summer:
no
snow,
no
water.
Without
water,
many
things
(including
us)
will
struggle,
as
will
fish,
trees
and
farmers.
Save
up
now
because
your
water
bill
is
go
up
up!
Yet,
as
we
are
nearing
the
corner
of
winter
and
spring,
not
quite
aware
of
the
coming
calamity
ahead,
I
see
glimmers
of
hope
as
young
sprouts
spring
in
my
yard
from
barren
soil.
From
dirt
arise
seeds;
from
seeds
come
tendrils
of
grass;
from
green
grass
grow
worms;
from
worms
comes
earthy
richness
teaming
with
life.
My
yard
is
a
glorious
explosion
of
acQvity,
colors,
sounds
and
smells.
I
get
spring
fever
whenever
I
see
pale
shades
of
lavender,
bright
petals
of
speckled
white,
spofed
ladybugs
flufering,
spiders
stalking,
earwigs
scafering—good
eaQng
for
the
slender
salamander
who
is
close
at
hand.
I
am
even
visited
by
a
red‐breasted
robin‐‐
where
are
you
migraQng?
To
what
do
I
owe
your
early
springQme
company?
Just
then,
I
feel
a
jolt
and
a
quake.
California
has
many
such
quakes.
“Not
unusual,”
I
think.
However
this
one
is
different,
larger
and
more
intense
in
acQvity
and
color.
It
opens
the
land
and
splits
the
earth
wide
open.
And
there,
in
my
yard,
“from
out
of
this
crevice
there
appear
incalculable
thousands
of
myriads
of
ko2s
of
bodhisafva
mahasafvas.
All
have
golden
bodies
endowed
with
the
thirty‐two
marks
and
radiaQng
immeasurable
rays
of
light.
They
had
all
previously
been
living
in
the
space
under
the
earth
of
the
saha
world.
Having
heard
the
sound
of
[nature’s]
calling,
all
of
these
bodhisafvas
emerge
from
below.
“*
Oh,
Bodhisafva’s,
where
have
you
come
from?
Why
are
you
in
my
yard
of
spring
flowers?
Thereupon
the
many
bodhisafvas
sat
cross‐legged
upon
lion
seats
made
from
mushrooms
shaded
by
cherry
blossoms,
each
afended
by
a
great
many
wonderful
marvelous
insect
creatures
said,
“The
Tathagata
now
wants
to
reveal
the
wisdom
of
the
buddhas.
Come
closer.
Do
not
have
any
doubts,
for
the
wisdom
of
buddhas
is
difficult
to
comprehend!
You
should
now
awaken
to
the
power
of
faith…you
will
be
able
to
hear
what
you
may
never
have
heard
before...have
no
doubts
or
fear!”
“Having
afained
highest,
complete
enlightenment
in
this
saha
world,
bodhisafvas
restrained
their
thoughts
and…abiding
in
this
world,
[they]
always
culQvate
[virtuous]
pracQces…
constantly
pracQcing
teaching
with
vigor,
day
and
night…
the
path
is
awakened
in
them
in
as
they
live
in
the
space
under
the
earth
of
this
saha
world…leading
and
inspiring
all
to
the
truth.”
Am
I
feverish?
Am
I
hearing
things?
Here
in
my
yard,
among
bugs
and
bushes—bodhisafvas
springing
forth
speaking
to
me?
And
yet
we
are
taught:
Daily,
myriads
of
buddhas
and
bodhisafvas
arise
from
the
earth
to
lead
us
to
the
truth.
We
just
need
to
hear,
see
and
realize
them!
Please
listen
carefully
as
we
celebrate
the
joyous
days
of
this
year’s
very
brief
Spring—Buddha
calls
to
us!

We
live
busy
stress‐filled
lives.
Taking
a
moment
or
two
here
and
there
and
recollec2ng
the
kindness
of
others,
moves
our
heart.
Feelings
of
gra2tude
more
easily
arise.
Gra2tude
buffers
us
against
cynicism
and
sarcasm.
It
opens
our
heart
and
brings
us
closer
to
others.
Friends
become
closer
and
more
numerous.
Feelings
of
worthiness,
wellness,
and
joy
start
filling
our
heart.
~
Barry
Kerzin
I
am
constantly
dependent
on
the
kindness
of
others.
Regardless
of
the
mood
I’m
in
or
whether
I
even
acknowledge
the
kindness
or
not,
I
am
constantly
the
recipient
of
others’
generosity
and
kindness.
And
I
receive
it
in
so
many
ways.
From
the
Qme
I
wake
up
to
the
Qme
I
fall
asleep,
I
have
benefited
from
others’
efforts.
I
ouen
need
to
take
a
moment
to
pay
afenQon
or
else
the
kindness
goes
unnoQced.
This
could
include
someone’s
kind
words,
or
afenQveness,
or
honesty
–
all
of
which
serves
to
open
my
heart
to
the
boundless
compassion
supporQng
me….
At
the
end
of
January,
our
Office
Manager,
Mary,
took
a
much
deserved
vacaQon.
During
the
two
weeks
of
her
absence,
the
BCSF
office
was
staffed
through
the
kindness
and
generosity
of
our
members.
Deep
graQtude
is
extended
to:
Yoshi,
Dean,
Harumi,
Suzanne,
Gregg,
Teresa,
Sandy,
Akemi,
Eiko,
Junko
and
Maf
P.
for
keeping
the
ship
afloat!
Yes,
our
BCSF
Girl
Scouts
rock!
Last
month
I
thanked
the
Cadefes
(and
their
families)
for
helping
BWA
in
pu€ng
up
the
annual
Hinamatsuri
Doll
display.
This
month,
our
Seniors,
Ambassadors,
and
1
Daisy
helped
take
it
all
down,
carefully
wrapping
each
figurine
for
storage.
Big
thanks
to
Glynis
Nakahara
(set
up)
and
Nanayo
Silver
(take
down)
for
coordinaQng
each
shiu!
In
addiQon
to
having
Rev.
Tetsuo
Unno
come
to
BCSF,
Ohigan
Sunday
began
with
homemade
ohagi!
Thank
you
to
Marcie,
Stephanie
and
the
gang
for
preparing
ohagi
for
the
enQre
sangha!
I
also
look
forward
to
Ohigan
because
of
the
film
and
lunch
that
follows!
This
year
was
no
excepQon.
Many
thanks
to
Sandy
Yamakishi
for
coordinaQng
the
delicious
lunch,
as
well
as,
the
BCSF
volunteers
that
served
as
Sandy’s
crew;
to
Rev.
Kobata
for
securing
the
movie,
A
LeRer
to
Momo;
and
to
Calvin
and
Doug
for
their
tech
support
with
the
film!
What
iniQally
brought
me
to
BCSF
many
years
ago
was
a
memorial.
What
drew
me
back
(the
very
next
day!)
was
the
Dharma.
And
I
am
so
very
grateful
that
we
have
teachers
here
at
BCSF
who
conQnue
to
offer
their
Qme
and
effort
to
share
their
appreciaQon
of
the
Dharma
with
us.
Leo
Joslin
has
diligently
led
the
weekly
Wednesday
Mindfulness
meditaQon
for
some
Qme
now.
His
commifed
and
gentle
kindness
has
not
gone
unnoQced
and
is
truly
appreciated
by
many.
Likewise,
David
PaQng
Sensei’s
monthly
Tannisho
Discussion
group
conQnues
to
deepen
our
understanding
of
Shinran’s
teachings.
Thank
you
David
and
Leo
for
filling
our
hearts
with
joy!
BCSF
is
a
great
place
to
open
our
hearts,
allowing
the
feelings
of
graQtude
to
arise…

reformist
movement

by
Honen
Shonin.

was
introducing
a
new
school
of
Buddhist
thought
based
on
Pure
Land
Sutras.
We
will
gather
on
Sunday
May
