Baking Bread
By G Sakamoto
I hope you enjoyed last month’s article. You may have already recognized that the style of writing was
different from usual. The article was written by Kathy but attributed to me.
I’m on my second sourdough starter. The first attempt, after seven days, showed signs of furriness. Not a good
indication of a healthy yeast colony. It’s been eight days since I started this new batch. So far, so good. I’ve
started daily feedings. The house is colder than optimum for yeast so I have to be patient and diligent in caring
for this starter. I haven’t named it yet. I’m thinking maybe Primrose or The Hammer. Hopefully it will establish
itself and become a member of our family. Once established it will reside in our refrigerator waiting to be
awakened and put into service as the leavening agent for a loaf of bread. If you have also taken up baking, as
apparently millions of others have in this pandemic, I wish you well in your endeavors.
With so much going on in the world sourdough starter feels somehow trivial. However, we still need to be
engaged with our every day lives as we engage the headlines around us. There is so much to consider to
analyze, to draw implications from. The insurrection at our Capitol incited by the President. The celebration
and hope with the inauguration of the 46th President of the United States. The gaping, fractured, seemingly
unresolvable, divisiveness of how we see, and not see, each other in our country. A pandemic the likes of
which very few people in the world have lived through before. A degraded global environment that left
unchecked will make all our concerns moot.
There is much work to be done. That work begins with a willingness to recognize the other as ourselves. We all
have the ability to sympathize, to recognize when someone is experiencing difficulties. And sometimes we can
empathize with another because we share a common experience. That ability can allow us the opportunity to
identify, to connect with another human being whose characteristics may be different from our own but who
may be experiencing something I experience.
In Buddhism we are reminded that hate, foolishness and greed are characteristics that bind us to the world of
samsara, the world of birth and death. Often empathy nor sympathy resolves conflict. But, any act of kindness
may not be adequate. Sometimes the point of anger is all we experience and no amount of effort can change
the flow of the world. We need to look elsewhere to begin to diminish the heat that drives the anger. What is
its cause? Where does it come from? We may need to look at possibilities that require me to look elsewhere.
Rethink my understanding of how we arrived at this point in time.
The times we are in are perfect for the Dharma which asks us to reconsider how I see the world. Buddhism is
not about Buddhism. Buddhism is the resolution of difficulties we all experience. In order to resolve those
difficulties I must see outside my comfortable view of the world. The social unrest we see is not just about the
events that are unfolding now. They are rooted in a history that benefit some and not others. As Jodo Shinshu
THE DHARMA | Volume 68 No.2
we can look for the prejudices with which we engage the world. Acknowledging that prejudice we can
fundamentally change how history unfolds.
This is my second attempt at starting a starter. If you count my previous attempt years ago then this is at least
my third attempt. If something aside from time has not changed my third attempt is doomed. I am
unexpectedly using Korean flour. The flour is poured and stored in a container. The flour was purchased when
there was a run on flour early in the pandemic. It was an opportunistic purchase. I suspect this is an
unbleached all purpose flour. It shouldn’t matter what flour is used. Unless some odd chemical was added.
Sourdough is one of the oldest forms of bread. Maybe our house is too cold. I’m using water that has been left
out overnight to dechlorinate. There is something that I am doing that is not conducive to yeast cultivation. If I
don’t change that I am doomed.
By Etsuko Mikame
“Oni wa uchi! Fuku mo uchi!”-Blind passions are always filled with our minds! But Nembutsu is always here in
our life!”
When I was waiting in the line in Nijiya supermarket, I saw a small poster on the wall. It said something about
Setsubun. Setsubn is the day before the beginning of spring in the old calendar in Japan. It goes like this; this
year’s Setsubun or the close of winter is on February 2nd.You many think Setsubun should be celebrated on
February 3rd because we normally celebrate on that day these days. But the date of Setsubun originally comes
on the day before the first day of spring in the old calendar. Since the first day of spring in the old calendar is
on February 2nd, Setsubun comes on the day before, February 2nd. It has been for 124 years since the last time
they celebrated Setsubun on February 2nd.” We can learn something new everywhere and anytime!
When it comes to the tradition of Setsubun in Japan, there is an even called Mamemaki” bean scattering.”
They scatter roasted beans out of the front door, or at a member of the family wearing and Oni(demon, ogre)
mask while shouting “Devils out! Fortune in!( Fuku wa Uchi! Oni wa soto!)” Here, Oni (ogre) is regarded as the
symbol of something evil which bothers us from our happiness and hated by everyone. The beans are thought
to symbolically purify the home by driving away the evil sprits that bring misfortune and bad health with them.
In my early memories of Setsubun, I still remember that I scattered the beans roasted by my grandmother to
my father and my older brother wearing Oni mask in the house. It was so fun but always hard to clean up the
room after the bean scattering.
Just like the perspectives seen in the tradition of bean scattering, I noticed that we, human beings are so
selfish that we tend to try to push away the cause of bad things to outside of ourselves and think the bad
events away from us. In other words, we tend to hate something inconvenient for us and beckon to something
benefits us. In Buddhism, it tells us to see limitations and blind passions in inside of our minds and how to
accept and front our afflictions.
THE DHARMA | Volume 68 No.2
I would like to share an episode of Saichi Asahara, a famous Myokonin in Shimane prefecture, Japan. I grew
up in the same area. In the history of Japanese Buddhism are famous Nembutsu followers called Myokonin,
people who really rejoice in the Nembutsu teaching.
When Saichi was still at the age of sixty-nine, a painter living in the community drew a picture of Saichi
placing his hands at his heart center or Gassho. People said that it looked exact the same with actual Saichi
and praised the painter very much. However, Saichi didn’t agree with it and said “ I am not the person who has
the calm face like Buddha. I have the fierce heart that may attack others depending on the conditions just like
ogre.” And Saichi asked the painter to add horns on his picture’s head just like Ogre has and he finally
admitted it was the right figure of true himself.
When we hear that our true nature is outrageous just like Oni (Ogre), it is hard to accept it in our life because
we are always like that. However, Saichi admitted his own true nature and lived his life to the utmost while
reciting Namo Amida Butsu. I, myself, sometimes get upset to something inconvenient, hate it and maybe hurt
someone, on the other hand, when we come across something or someone convenient, I may change my
attitude and treat someone benefits me well. Our minds always one after another until the end of this life as
long as In Jodo Shinshu, we see “Oni” in our mind as the blind passions which the blind passions wind our way
of seeing the world. It is not outside of oneself. However, we are always included and embraced by Amida
who never abandons us. Although we sometimes hurt others and get angry at the situations which don’t go as
we desired just like Oni(ogre) do bad things to human beings, Amida knows our true nature and always guide
us to the right path to the liberation without leaving behind anyone. In Jodo Shinshu way of Setsubun, we can
admit our weakness we have in our life and at the same time appreciate Amida’s assurance with Gassho.
Oni wa uchi! Fuku mo Uchi!-Blind passions are here inside of our minds! But Nembutsu is always here in our
life !”

President Message
by Steve Onishi
If you thought 2020 was a crazy year, January 2021 was even crazier from a historical perspective! I could
never have imagined a situation where thousands of Americans stormed our Nation’s Capitol and threatened
members of Congress while in session. Thankfully, our Sangha is a bit less extreme and the ministers, office
staff and I can feel safe at the church!
Our transition here has been peaceful, thankfully. We are in the middle of transitioning to a new Board
structure. It is a minor tweak that will eventually allow us to work more efficiently and hopefully be more
responsive to the needs of the Sangha. As part of the new structure, I am hopeful that we can elicit the help
of everyone else. Do you have special skills that could help us out? We are always looking for expertise in
wide ranging areas from facility maintenance, financial planning, event planning, video producing to expansion
of our social media exposure. Please let us know if you can assist in areas such as these.
Obviously, the pandemic has changed all of our lives. But one silver lining for me personally, is that I am able
to work from home. It has provided new experiences for me such as watching the inauguration for the first
time in my life. I’ve also watched the changing of the seasons through my back window. It is these simple
things I now realize that I have always taken for granted. So don’t take things for granted…get your
vaccination when you can and we will eventually be able to listen to Rinban Sakamoto’s and Reverend
Mikame’s messages, in person, once again.

Editor's Message
by Sally Idemoto
A New Hope
With the new administration taking over at the nation's capital, there is renewed hope that things will be
better.
The last few years have been anything but worthwhile or meaningful in terms of our nation's leadership. What
ultimately happened with the attack on the capitol building was outrageous. Watching it all taking place
seemed unbelievable and yet it happened for the entire world to see.
During all of this was the pandemic. As the numbers were going up on new cases and those who didn't make it
increased,
it all added to the anxiety and fears of the people throughout our nation and the entire world.
Now, with more people getting the vaccine and with help with the economy from the new leadership,
things look a little more hopeful.
Let us continue to be smart, wearing our masks and doing all of the necessary smart and safe things.
In gassho.

Pack 611, Dens 4 & 5 Update
By: Dens 4&5 Leaders
Dens 4&5 continue to busily work their way up through the Webelos requirements, albeit in virtual
format. In December, to earn the First Responder pin, the boys learned how to treat a number of serious
medical conditions ranging from burns to venomous snakebites. Sunnyvale Public Safety Captain David
Sakurai, one of the den leaders, and Kaiser manager, Chris Jung, another leader, both had significant
experiences to share in these areas.
Then, the boys proceeded to Stronger, Faster, Higher, making fitness part of their lives. This unit was
timely with the shelter-in-place situation, to help pull the boys away from their electronics and get them
active. Ultimately, it culminated with the boys logging their workouts for an entire month to make exercise a
habit.
Most recently, the pack meeting hosted a guest speaker, marine biologist Ellie Slick, who kept the
entire pack meeting captivated as she shared impressive information about sea life and the work she did.
Thanks to Cubmaster Wes Tao for identifying this great learning opportunity for the boys through Skype a
Scientist.
The boys, leaders, and parents of Dens 4&5 continue to wish everyone the best of health and a Happy
New Year!

Jr. YBA
by Kaylee Okamoto
On Sunday, January 17th, we had a General meeting virtually. During the meeting, we held a
community service panel led by Mr. Matt Ogawa that asked questions to our guest speaker, Ellen Kamei, a
former Jr. YBA member and currently the mayor of Mountain View. Four student leaders, Simone Fong, Sean
Sakae, Rina Mok and Ryan Sung also spoke about the clubs they are currently in. It was very interesting to
hear about each of the member’s experiences and the advice they had to give to the younger members about
joining clubs and trying new activities in school.
On Monday, February 8th, there will be a fundraiser for lunch and dinner at Pasta Market, 579 Coleman
Ave, from 11am to 9pm. 20% of all purchases will go towards SJ Jr. YBA if you mention our group when you
order. Do you know it must be take out only and will not work for delivery services like DoorDash, GrubHub,
etc. We hope to see you there and thank you for supporting Jr. YBA! We also plan to hold a raffle, so stay
tuned for details to come.
Sangha Crafters
By Betty Kinoshita/Tomi Imokawa
Crafters again met in the parking lot and exchange completed blankets and those to be done. There were 50
blankets collected to be taken to Project Linus. Also scarves and caps that were taken to the Family
Shelter. Thanks to the Crafters who are sharing their talent by completing blankets that are distributed to the
young people in our community. Project Linus distributes to hospitals and programs in the community that
serve children from birth to 18 years of age. This include neonatal intensive care centers. With much
gratitude!!
Our next parking lots gathering is Feb 5 at 11AM. It has been fun to see and chat with those attending. Mask
and social distancing!

EcoSangha: EcoTip
It is Ecofriendly to save on food waste. To prevent food waste plan meals ahead for one week, shop with a
list, don’t shop hungry to avoid impulse buying. Wasted food ends up in landfills, eventually turning into
methane gas, a destructive greenhouse gas.

THE DHARMA | Volume 68 No.2Aloha Club
‘A ‘ohe lana nui ke alu ‘ia
“No task is too big when done together by all.”
(ʻOlelo no ʻeau-Hawaiian Proverbs)
Howzit?!
In da world now, everything is just crazy hammajang, yah? Or “still yet”, sorta crazy, I should say. We, da
people, should share da kine aloha so dat everyone knows what dis really means, I tink.
Are all of you doing okay?
While Hālau Nā Wai Ola on 6th Street closed in May 2020 because of the scary thought of paying so many
months of rent and not wanting to ask students for tuition if it oculd only be Zoom lessons, she made the
difficult decision to close and give up the space. (yeah, our Kumu really is not the type to think about asking
others for money to learn from her)
However, that didnʻt mean that we hāumana should not continue to do what weʻd learned or to stop caring or
practicing the way of hulā and the Spirit of Aloha that drives the Hawaiian lifestyle and way of being.
And so, when I helped with the Junior Chamber International (JCI) of USA and the Junior Chamber
International (JCI) of Japan in the “US-Japan Subnational Global Young Professionals Forum” hosted by JCI,
Koyamada International/KIFJapan/KIFUSA, between Honolulu and Hiroshima, it was almost, shall I say,
gratifying, to hear those panelists talk about sharing the Aloha with the world in order to make it a better
place.
Being Jodoshinshu Buddhist, the aloha is something that is easily incorporated in our daily lives. While in
Hawaiʻi, it may be more prevalent and more understood, we Aloha Club people can definitely show in our
actions, our communication, our daily lives, how we can live with understanding, compassion, gratitude,
honestly, in harmony, with perserverance.
Aloha! Stay Safe and Healthy!

THE DHARMA | Volume 68 No.2Films of Remembrance
“Farewell to Manzanar” Drive-in Screening
Films of Remembrance 2021 at the Capitol Drive-In
This is a one-time-only opportunity to see the landmark film, “Farewell to Manzanar.” It was shown only once
on television and later given one screening in Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Marin, but never in
San Jose. It is also a film deemed appropriate for school curriculums and so, this drive-in format is ideal for
families to attend and view. Partial proceeds will benefit Yu-Ai Kai.
Please check the website, www.filmsofremembrance.org/2021, for possible Japantown businesses where
Drive-in Bentos may be ordered and picked up. This will support local J-Town businesses. Each order will
include an Opportunity Drawing ticket to be deposited when you attend. Please see the flyer in this issue
for more information on the entire Films of Remembrance 2021 schedule.
