The Hawaii District Minister’s Association presents its Nembutsu Seminar. Rev. Carmela Javellana-Hirano, the Director of BCA’s Center for Buddhist Education will be talking about the “Path of Resilience, Path of Nembutsu”. To quote her and give you an idea of what she will be speaking about:
In times of chaos, resilience is perhaps the one thing we can aspire for, if not faith/trust, so we can get through these enormous difficulties. We human beings as helpless and ignorant as we are, need to be able to turn to something greater than ourselves that provides refuge, safety, and unconditional kindness: Amida Buddha. Being firmly grounded in Namo Amida Butsu can settle our agitated minds, heal our broken hearts, and unequivocally carry us through countless traumatic events.
