Guest speaker: Rev. William Masuda, a long-time Dharma friend of the Hawaii Sangha whose most recent assignment was with the Palo Alto Buddhist Temple.

The word Higan means the “Other Shore” of enlightenment. (O is a Japanese prefix to indicate politeness). Traditionally, Ohigan is a week-long observance, held during the week of the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox.

Equinox means daytime and nighttime are equal length. It also can be connected to the teaching of “Middle Way” in Buddhism. At this Autumn Higan service, let us quietly reflect on our life and appreciate the teachings of Buddhism.

Please come and join our Autumn Higan service!
