October 11: New Monthly Memorial (Shotsuki) Service

New Monthly Memorial (Shotsuki) Service

First Combined Service, Sunday, October 11 • 9:30 a.m.

Family Service + Monthly Memorial (Shotsuki) Service

 

Why Are We Combining the Services?
For many years, our Family Service and Monthly Memorial (Shotsuki) Service were held separately. Beginning in October, they will be combined into one Sunday gathering so that our entire Sangha can remember our loved ones, listen to the Buddha Dharma together, and strengthen our temple community.

What is the Monthly Memorial (Shotsuki) Service?
The Monthly Memorial (Shotsuki) Service is held to remember those whose Meinichi (date of passing) falls during each month. During the service, we read the names of our loved ones, express gratitude, and listen to the Buddha Dharma.

Add Your Loved One
If you would like to include a loved one in our Monthly Memorial List, please contact the Temple Office.Please provide:

Individual Family Memorial Services (Hoji)
Individual family memorial services (Hoji) are available throughout the year.

Please note: Memorial services follow the traditional Japanese Buddhist calendar. The 49-Day, 100-Day, and 1st-Year Memorials are observed after each respective anniversary. Beginning with the 3rd-Year Memorial, services follow the traditional Japanese Buddhist memorial year count (for example, the 3rd-Year Memorial is held two years after the date of passing).
