Good morning! This is from our Obon and Hastubon Service. Our Hatsubon families have been invited to join us in observing the first Obon Service since losing their dear family member. With the Bon Odori festivities here last night and then the service today, the full spectrum of life and death becomes realized in a very poignant manner. We are invited to see the full picture rather than the preferred and abbreviated version. Truth has impact. Welcome to the temple.
