Living in Gratitude. The Story of Genza | Rev. Murakami | Eitaikyo Service | 2026-10-18

The Annual Eitaikyo Service was observed combined with the monthly Shotsuki Memorial Service in memory of those who dedicated their lives to preserve our precious temple for sharing the Buddha Dharma with the future generations. At this grateful opportunity, Rev. Murakami shared the message focusing on the Japanese concept of on (恩), the kindness and care we receive from others through the story of Genza. By recognizing the unseen wishes and compassion that sustain our lives, we learn to appreciate our connections with others and respond with gratitude to the boundless compassion of Amida Buddha, expressed through the Nembutsu.
