Women’s Federation donation to the Calgary Temple Capital building fund
Susan Huntley, President of the JSBTC Women’s Federation and Chair of the World Buddhist Women’s Convention, presents James Sensei with a cheque for $10,000 for the Temple’s building fund. Susan thank the Temple Sangha for all its support in making the WBWC a huge success. She said that she is still getting positive responses from around the world about the May convention and that many people think the convention should be held in Calgary again.
Peace for Sensei Michael Hayashi
Sensei Michael entered the Pure Land at 2:50 pm CST today.
His family was by his side and he passed away peacefully
while listening to one of his favorite songs “Dust to Dust” by The Civil Wars.
Please join me in reciting the Nembustu.
