Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii Online Dharma Message on November 1, 2020: “A Great Torch in the Dark Night of Ignorance”.

Grateful for the opportunity to give an Online Dharma Message today—because it means I woke up not dead!

In reflection, everything in my life has led me to this moment, every person I encountered taught me something important, every success was due to other people, and every failure because I was angry, greedy, or stupid.

In reflection, the absolute truth and infinite reality of Namo Amida Butsu has always been in my life; it just took my entire adult life for my Ego-Self to get out of the way.

Good thing Amida has Immeasurable Life!

May your day be filled with aloha!Namo Amida Butsu!
