Each year, a special service is held in honor of Eshinni, the wife of our founder, Shinran Shonin, and their youngest daughter, Kakushinni. Eshinni was dedicated in her support of Shinran Shonin. She made it possible for him to pursue his life’s work of spreading the Nembutsu teaching. Kakushinni cared for her father during his final years. She built a small temple in Kyoto to enshrine his ashes and portrait. This temple grew and was named the “Hongwanji.” This year’s special service will be on Sunday, April 25, 2021 and we are pleased to host Carol Valentine, President of Lihue Hongwanji Mission, as the speaker. As in past years, the Dharma school is planning the service and a special collection will support youth organizations of our temple.
