On Saturday evening, January 25th, Temple member Rocky Oishi was honoured with an Award of Recognition by the Consul General of Japan for his work on behalf of the Japanese Community, both locally, and even within the world (ask him about his trips to Kenya to assist in clean water projects).
The event took place as part of the Calgary Japanese Community Association New Year dinner event.
Our Temple has Gratitude for the many people who assist in allowing us to function, in large & small ways, once or for many years.
Rocky has been a long-time Temple supporter and it is appropriate that we also communicate our Gratitude to him at the time of this Recognition of his efforts. (although he prefers to mention the people that helped *him* in his efforts).
He truly personifies the Buddha’s teachings in action.
Congratulations Rocky!
