Thank you, everyone, for contributing to another successful Rinzai Zen Mission Obon Festival. With a wonderful team of volunteers, some coming from as far away as the continental East Coast, we were able to put together a terrific Obon Festival for our Maui community.

We had a beautiful evening with food offerings from Maui Okinawa Kenjin Kai and first-time Thai food truck, Nui’s Garden Kitchen, and hope we satisfied everyone’s food cravings. Along with our Obon dancers, our other entertainers such as Maui Ryukyu Culture Group, Ukwanshin Kabudan, Young Okinawans of Hawaii, and Allison Arakawa kept our audience fascinated. We are grateful for continued guidance of Reverend Ryozo Yamaguchi and deeply appreciate the continued support of Reverend Seiya Chisaka, his daughter Tae, and everyone at the Myoshinji School of Japan. Also, great appreciation to the Maui Zendo Group for an excellent job with the parking.

We here at the Rinzai Zen Mission are forever grateful for your generosity and support. We continue to look forward to our good fortune. May all of you be in good health and spirits.
