Happy New Year to all!

It is with the utmost gratitude to all of ourgenerous supporters that the Rinzai ZenMission has had another successful year.Thank you! We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Reverend Seiya Chisaka and everyone at the Myoshinji Temple of Japan for their generous support. We have been very fortunate to have had their continued help all these years. Thankyou also to Reverend Hoshi for his generous donation of Omamori for our temple.

And thank you to Reverend Ryozo Yamaguchi for all of his efforts and guidance with our success at the Rinzai Zen Mission.

Best wishes to Janet Miyahira as she takes a temporary leave of absence to help out her daughter and son-in-law, Lynne and Eric,with their new baby that will be arriving in February. We have been very lucky to have had Janet as our Temple’s treasurer for over 30 years. Wishing much happiness to Janet and her family!
