This past Sunday, May 24th, 2026 was the 5th year anniversary of the passing of our beloved founding abbot, Taihaku Nishiren Diaosho.
We honored her this year with a full day combination of meditation retreat (1/2 day Zazenkai), ceremony of chanting and offering incense, a procession up to the cemetery with flower offerings, followed by an abundant potluck.
The cool rainy day was black-fly-free(!) and was made brighter and warmer by our coming together with deep reverence and affection.
