Please join us and guest minister, Rev. Anne Spencer from Oregon-Idaho Buddhist Temple, February 9, for a service dedicated to two famous women Buddhist leaders. Lady Takeko Kujo, an educator and a poet, and her sister-in-law, Lady Yoshiko Otani, are considered two of the most important female leaders in the Nishi Hongwanji branch of Jodo Shinshu. Together, they founded BWA in 1904. In addition, Lady Takeko Kujo wrote the lyrics to the gatha, “Seiya.” Service starts at 10:00am and promises to be a meaningful event.
