Last Sunday during Dharma Exchange, Rev. Kusunoki showed a short video on the history of the Buddhist Churches of America. Many sangha members enjoyed the video and requested to watch it from home and share it with friends. Please click on the YouTube thumbnail above to watch and share the video.
Thank you to Mas Tahara and The Tengu Club for hosting a showing of “The Tengu Club” during Dharma Exchange on 9/21. The documentary is an exploration of Japanese American identity and experience from the early 1900s, through Japanese Internment, and into the present day. The film highlights the Tengu fishing club and the story of professional fly-fisher Hilary Hutcheson as she learns more about her family’s past.
The documentary is about 30 minutes long and is available to watch using the link above and on YouTube.
