Online Eshinni/Kakushinni Day Dharma Service for Sunday, April 18, 2021 with guest speaker Charlene Kihara and officiated by Rev. Dr. Bert Sumikawa at Windward Buddhist Temple. We honor Eshinni, the wife of Shinran Shonin, and her dedication to Shinran. We rejoice in the memory of Shinran’s daughter Kakushinni because had it not been for her, his teaching might not be available for us.
