Fathers’ Day - Sheera Tamura She/Her/Hers Seattle University, Class of 2022 “My grandfather Sadao Tamura has always reminded me to “give more than I take”. As a “nissei” or second generation Japanese American, he has faced more adversities than I could ever imagine. My grandpa and his seven brothers immigrated to the Island of Kaua’i within the state of Hawaii from Okayama, Japan when he was only a little boy. Shortly after their move, he received news that his mother died while trying to reunite with them. From that point on, my grandfather had to learn the English language while simultaneously working full time in order to support our family. As many residents from the Kaua’i community united together in collectively supporting my Grandfather’s boating business, my grandpa always made sure to thank each customer as they were the main line of support towards our family. Therefore, as I grew up, my grandpa always reminded me to show gratitude as he would often reflect upon the many struggles he encountered in making sure that he could provide for our family. He is the type [of] person that I aspire to become like, and it is because of him that I decided to pursue the profession of social work so I can always “give more than I take” throughout my daily life.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1593231599160-4LN58IF03ZJ1RRWZI5WG/Nicholas.jpg Our Columns - Fathers’ Day - Nicholas Hamakami He/Him/His Kentridge Senior High School, Class of 2020 “Back in elementary school, Dad and I used to go fishing every summer on my grandparent’s farm. But since the grass grew back every year, it was always an ordeal getting to the stream. I remember teaming up to take the challenge, with Dad cutting through the tall grass with his machete, and me following not far behind with the fishing gear. Our most difficult trip was during our very first year. Nobody had made a trail in years, and the grass was overgrown to the point of being almost impossible to cut through. However, we endured, and we eventually made our way to the stream. After a long, tiresome journey, I picked up my rod, put on some bait... and hooked my thumb on the very first cast. Ouch! Dad took me to the hospital immediately afterward. I might have ruined the fishing trip, but he was right there by my side. Looking back on it, I guess that’s just what dad’s do. They always put their kids before themselves.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1593231643654-Z8D235DQB269KGI1KMJ8/Taryn.jpg Our Columns - Fathers’ Day - Taryn Chisolm She/Her/Hers Santa Clara University, Class of 2023 “Impermanence is a difficult concept to grasp, especially as a small child. But my father inadvertently taught me its importance throughout my whole life. I have watched him take on any circumstance, whether it is work stress or a family situation, with determination and bravery. Without needing to even tell me that everything would pass and change with time, he showed me the value of impermanence. Even when he would need to travel for weeks at a time throughout my childhood, I would know that soon he would be back. Everything is temporary. Although some of the most obvious examples of impermanence have a negative connotation, like flowers dying, my dad helped me realize that this change is good because it means we are able to move on and continue through our life knowing it will never be exactly the same as the moment before. Good things might fade, but at the same time bad things will too and new opportunities will arise.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1593231679843-3S652RAI8OJTH953MJ3X/image-asset.jpeg Our Columns - Fathers’ Day - Hallie Ewig She/Her/Hers University of Washington, Class of 2022 “For as long as I can remember, my dad has exclusively listened to hip-hop music. When I was little, instead of listening to pop artists on the car radio, he would play artists like Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., and Wu-Tang Clan from his iPod. I never really understood why he listened to music most parents would find “profane.” One time I asked him, “Dad, why do you listen to songs with bad words in them?” He responded by turning up the volume and saying, “Just listen to the lyrics, Mika.” If you really listen to the lyrics, you can see that all of these Black artists are sharing a common theme intertwined with the swear words: systemic racism. My dad has been exposing me to Black oppression before I was even old enough to understand it. He taught me that it is important to not only listen to others but to do so with compassion, and music is a great place to start.

Bob, Rev. Patti, or any of the other incredible staff from YAC 11, but I think one of the most impactful people on my perception of Buddhism has been Rev. Haruo Yamaoka, the former minister at Oakland Buddhist Temple. I didn’t like going to temple as a kid, but one of Rev. Yamaoka’s Dharma talks about Ohigan has stuck with me, even though I heard it almost a decade ago. The holiday, which translates to the other shore, is normally interpreted as a day to remember passed loved ones and ancestors. However, Rev. Yamaoka said Ohigan offered another purpose. It’s a chance to cross over and see the world in someone else’s perspective. He preached that empathy was how Ohigan’s proverbial crossing manifested in the real world, and it taught me how to understand people from different religious, ethnic, socioeconomic, or cultural backgrounds. Those skills continue to serve me today. As a journalist, my ability to empathize with people, especially those in underreported communities, is a key part of me being able to accurately tell their stories, and I have Rev. Yamaoka to thank for that.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1594008143728-9D02JWXVFKRG6ABHNGN5/yac%2B11%2Bphoto%2B2.jpg Our Columns - YAC 11 Edition https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1594007502113-A3ZJE4NGLORLBILOIUSD/YBEPreviewIColor.jpg Our Columns - YAC 11 Edition - Alex Shinkawa He/Him/His University of California, Santa Barbara Asian American studies and Political Science “The group of people that impacted my perspective on Buddhism the most was probably my YAC 11 cohort. YAC 11 was the “Shaka”muni Buddha’s and we became close friends almost instantly. We developed our own hand sign, which in hindsight was basically the Shaka, and made great memories. I loved the energy that we all shared and everyone was excited to be a part of the program. Being a part of YAC helped me develop a stronger personal understanding of the role that Buddhism played in my life. It also helped me get over my fear of public speaking, and being around supportive and encouraging friends really helped to build my self-confidence. Overall, YAC helped me meet some of my best friends within the Buddhist community, and hanging out with them helped me develop my own understanding of the impact of the teachings of the Buddha.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1594008322272-ANI8XS11D5FQX5VM4ND2/JulietBost.jpg Our Columns - YAC 11 Edition - Juliet Bost They/Them/Theirs University of California, Davis Political Science - Public Service “It was surprising to see the spirit of Pride blend seamlessly with a teaching I’d heard at the Buddhist temple — sono mama de, just as you are. One year, when my family joined the [Buddhist Church of San Francisco] BCSF contingent at [San Francisco] Pride, Rev. Keisuke showed up in a pink tutu and tastefully cropped t-shirt, very visually embracing the Pride spirit. What stood out to me was his humility, how he welcomed that moment, and everyone in it with open arms. We were dancing to Obon songs, like Tanko Bushi and Shiawase Samba, and he learned the dances and made mistakes right there, in public, no sense of ego to hold him back from. We danced our way down Market Street, smiling and laughing, not worrying about missing a beat or forgetting a move. It was a feeling of freedom I can’t quite put into words, and I think that was the essence of sono mama de — the feeling, the doing, the being, just as we are.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1594008652442-R2IJK805YL0WUCEUDKZX/NickKaren.jpg Our Columns - YAC 11 Edition - Nick Karen He/Him/His Virginia Tech, Class of 2022 Finance and Business Information Technology “In my middle to early high school years my mother took our family to visit my grandparents every weekend. We had recently moved from California back to Virginia where she had grown up and her parents resided. I became frustrated that I could not go out on the weekends with my friends or that I could not participate in other extracurricular activities. My mother told me my grandparents were getting older and one day we might [not] be able to see them. Further into my high school years, I received news that my grandfather passed away from cancer and my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Soon after, my grandmother, having complications with living on her own, moved in with my family. I wished times had been like before where my grandmother could live on her own. It was then I began to understand what it meant to be grateful with the present moment.

Reverend Bob attended a convention with representatives of many different religions, who had gathered to share their religion and learn about others’ religions. Each representative had a chance to describe their religion and gave long-winded answers. Reverend Bob sensed that the audience was becoming restless, so on his turn, he went to the podium, said one sentence about Buddhism, and sat back down. I don’t remember exactly what Reverend Bob said, but the part that impacted me the most was that while all the other representatives were trying to explain their religion in great detail with technical terms, Reverend Bob kept his message short. He took the audience’s feelings into consideration and still managed to convey the essence of Buddhism. I think this story emphasizes how Buddhism, while categorized as a religion, is more a way of life, or self conduct. This story helped me realize and understand that this aspect is what makes Buddhism stand out in comparison to other religions.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1594007648398-3S9RZJJTR0I8PXPS90OT/Lee%2C+Kellie+-+Photo.jpg Our Columns - YAC 11 Edition - Kellie K. Lee She/Her/Hers University of California, Los Angeles D1 School of Dentistry Growing up I attended the Sacramento Buddhist Church with my mom, but never felt like I fully understood the teachings of the Dharma. In all honesty, I attended Dharma School so that I could play basketball, and sat through Sunday services because my mom brought me along. I would always sing the words: we live most days routinely, without much thought that we will never live this day again in all eternity, but it wasn’t until I had a talk with Reverend Bob and Reverend Patti Oshita, that I truly felt like I understood what these words meant. Through their many sermons and lectures, the Oshita’s truly taught me what it means to live a life of gratitude, by cherishing each moment and living life to the fullest each day. They awakened me to the Buddhist teachings, and have changed the way I view everyday suchness. I am forever grateful to have learned the teachings of Buddhism from them, and aspire to live a life of fulfillment and great happiness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1594007502113-A3ZJE4NGLORLBILOIUSD/YBEPreviewIColor.jpg Our Columns - YAC 11 Edition - Breven Honda He/Him/His San Diego State University, Class of 2021 Journalism “From 2005-2013, Rev. Mukojima was the Resident Minister for the Buddhist Temple of San Diego before moving to the Mountain View Buddhist Temple. During his eight years in San Diego, he found a way to attract and talk to the entire sangha from the youngest child to the oldest member. When I was 11 and 12 years old, he taught dharma school students and myself in our class how to chant. He taught us how to correctly chant by having the right posture, chanting from the stomach. That was a small basis for what I did a few years later in 2015 when I participated in the Youth Advocacy Retreat learning how to chant from other ministers, such as Rev. Bob and Rev. Patti Oshita. With the help of Mukojima-Sensei, he helped children, including myself, learn the Dharma at a level they could understand in Dharma messages.

Went to Buddhist church ever since I was little. When you are in healthcare, you want to help people. People want to give back. When they smile and when they are happy, it makes you happy. It’s like “wow! It’s a big change in their life!” Interdependence in dentistry. You gotta be flexible. You have to be open-minded and flexible with changing. You have the hardest job. There’s a lot of unknown. I salute you for coming to work everyday and putting yourself in harms way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1597020519097-YU70WV1F1SGKFC35S251/TinaZumotoKo.jpg Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part II - Tina Zumoto Ko She/Her/Hers Retired Registered Nurse and School District Nurse in Washington Seattle Buddhist Church I realized I really enjoy working with people, so I decided I wanted to become a nurse. I didn’t realize I was that Buddhist when I first started nursing. But when I was doing hospice nursing and dealing with a lot of end-of-life issues, having the goal to be a good death, it was a comfortable situation. I wasn’t afraid of it. My coworkers commented how nursing came so naturally with me. They struggled with their religious beliefs by letting someone die. They wanted to do everything they could to prevent it. They had a harder time with that. It was hard to see them die. We saw a lot of people die. A few times in the hospital, people had beliefs of people being less than, being abnormal, or less worthy of treatment. Because healthcare is expensive, and not everyone has access to that. So one time we had someone from the prison system who was able to get treatment, using federal money, that regular people without insurance would not have been able to afford. A few of my fellow nurses thought it was so unfair, and so they treated that patient pretty coldly - putting their feelings on him. We never knew what he was in for. He was just handcuffed while he was getting treated. Just kind of spreading Compassion. Doing what was comfortable for me, and hopefully, that helped influence my friends who I worked with. Trying to stay equal. Spreading Compassion. There’s a lot that goes on in people’s lives. Be yourself. Stay yourself. Take time to take care of yourself. Take a break if you need it. You know what you are doing, it’s the right thing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1597020792267-85JA0TU4JPZ783IGVSRC/LindseyYamane.jpg Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part II Lindsey Yamane She/Her/Hers School of Optometry at University of California, Berkeley Seattle Buddhist Church I didn't really think about Buddhism influencing me as much until I self-reflected on it because since I've always been raised Buddhist, and most of my family is Buddhist, that sort of practice of Buddhist teachings has really influenced me. The whole aspect of having compassion and giving back, I think, has been one of the main reasons why I wanted to do optometry because you know a little while in undergrad, I considered majoring in business or something. But I didn't know as much as I could give back in that kind of way, compared to things like optometry and health care. Seeing how my family practices Buddhism and how my grandparents were so selfless, always wanting to go back volunteering, has really influenced me into also wanting to be like them. I don’t think I realized that until later, how that influenced how I came to be. Being able to volunteer within my own community and then also wanting to then take that compassion into my professional career. Looking at my undergrad studies, Buddhism teaches that “life is suffering.” Not in the meaning that it always has to be bad, but a reminder that it always is not going to be easy. If I am going through a hard time, or mentally exhausted or something, it’s part of the process. “Life is suffering” may not always apply to every situation, but realizing that everything is not going to go the way it needs to. Working through those challenges is important. They have a lot on their plate. I really respect that they are able to do their job well, and be on the front line, even if people aren’t really social distancing or making their job any easier. They are still going and doing their job. So to that: “Thanks” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1597020663428-VVXW9XE5PH1K5QZLBNCR/AmandaHamakami.jpg Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part II - Amanda Hamasaki She/Her/Hers School of Nursing at University of Portland Seattle Buddhist Church For as long as I can remember, I have always had a passion to go into healthcare. I even found a scrapbook of my kindergarten self, stating that “when I grow up, I want to be a nurse for babies”. With this, Buddhism has been one of the most prominent contributors in my identity as a nursing student. Nursing has shown to be a career in which I can truly put my Buddhist values to action. I have learned to care for all individuals, communities, and our society with loving kindness and Dana, otherwise known as selfless giving. This specific career in healthcare is so much more than treating illnesses with medicine. It is the true compassion, empathy, and open-mindedness that drew me to this field. On another note, speaking to the current pandemic I would like to share one Buddhist value that I believe to be incredibly relevant during this time, which is impermanence. A concept so simple that we tend to glaze over the ideal without much thought. This horrendous virus will one day be a part of our history and to every healthcare worker on the front lines, your hard work does not go unnoticed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1597020754345-9QPWTAJNY9SP9HU4D0WI/SeijuTerada.jpg Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part II - Seiju Terada He/Him/His Optometrist at Harvard Eye Associates Orange County Buddhist Church The opportunity to participate as a healthcare worker from the perspective of a Buddhist provides experiences that may be unique. I’m sure all healthcare workers have many altruistic reasons to choose their occupation to serve their community, to provide care and support to patients in need and to make a difference in a person’s life. Seeing patients routinely gives me a sense of family. It’s wonderful to see the “family” and to share our life stories. I begin to appreciate their stories of success and failure, happiness and sadness and we share each other’s stories, and enjoy the wonderful feeling of belonging to something beyond just our immediate family and circle of friends. Though I serve a purpose in providing healthcare, it is returned many times over in their appreciation, trust and friendship all adding to a feeling of interconnectedness. We wish our population of patients to be full of health and vitality. But unfortunately, we know about the impermanent nature of life. And what we can provide as caregivers is professional and compassionate care. Patients will become ill, loved ones will be lost, jobs and family issues may overcome them, but we can always show our compassion for their misfortunes and sadness. And finally, the one thing that Buddhism has taught me is to live a life of thankfulness. I am grateful for the opportunity provided me, and to reap the emotional rewards and satisfaction of knowing that I have improved the quality of a person’s life. Hopefully, I can share these Buddhist principles with the people I encounter. https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/stories-from-healthcare-workers monthly 0.5 2020-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1597010876851-NW39BYUWAIG7QUBDSU17/Meghan+Horn.JPG Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part I - Meghan Horn She/Her/Hers School of Nursing at Gonzaga University, Minor in Psychology Seattle Buddhist Church I chose nursing because I have always wanted to work in the healthcare field. I felt that working at bedside and also doing a bunch of technical skills was a really good fit for me. I wanted to be able to have a relationship with the patient, but also having a significant medical responsibility at the same time.The unit that I work in is called ‘Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation,’ like a nursing home setting. Some of the most striking experiences I have had are with the patients put on hospice. We have patients, for whatever reason, that choose to do hospice in our assistant nursing facility. Being a CNA, a Certified Nursing Assistant, you do the Activities of Daily Living. You are with them all the time, making sure they are comfortable. Usually they can’t really move, so you clean their mouth, clean their lips, keep their dignity. If it’s a man, you can shave their face. You do the little things to keep their dignity while they are dying. My interest in the healthcare field and values and morals of Buddhism are very closely tied, so I felt that in choosing nursing as a profession it aligned with my core values. Things like compassion and helping those who are more vulnerable and those that don’t have someone to speak up for them. Especially in a situation when a patient gets to an unresponsive point, you have to talk to them as if they still can hear you. It’s a respect of dignity thing. You still want to be respectful of that person. It’s not just about me: “I have to go into this room and perform this task for this person.” It’s this person’s life. You have to be super conscious of being respectful of that. My job right now as a CNA at a nursing home, our values of patience and listening makes me grateful for Buddhism. It has steered me towards a really cool profession. I can’t wait to go out and be a nurse. Find support in each other. Lean on each other. Keep feeding into the sense of community because that is what’s going to help us all get through it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1597010917225-5PML04NKB0X5AHCDLPWW/John%2BNishimoto.jpg Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part I - John Nishimoto They/Them/Theirs Professor and Senior Associate Dean of Professional Affairs at Marshall B. Ketchum University, Southern California College of Optometry Orange County Buddhist Church I was never a person who practiced Buddhism consciously. It was just part of me growing up. What does that mean for me? In dealing with the situations surrounding the pandemic, there’s a lot of stress involved. I try to be a role model for my students. To convey a lot of compassion and patience and understanding. I think it has helped me understand people from all levels and all angles, a lot more from if I were not to practice Buddhism. I think I am much more of a rounded person, with a compassionate side. I have gained a perspective on how to manage a number of situations. In a much more patient manner. I am able to take care of matters, managing matters in a much more patient, level-headed way of doing things. In a couple of student situations, they had missed a clinical assignment and it wasn’t because it was of their fault. But it was very easy for a lot of the faculty members to put a lot of the blame on students. I think twenty years ago, before I started practicing Buddhism seriously, I would’ve put a lot of serious blame on the students too. But it wasn’t really their fault. Dealing with this situation many years later, now, I said to my students, “I did a similar thing as a student. Those things happen. If you feel really bad about it - don’t. Those things happen in life.” I think Buddhism has allowed me to gain a broad perspective, in a shorter amount of time. Buddhism has helped me see both sides. It helps you understand the ‘why.’ To the healthcare workers: No matter how much appreciation we show them, they will still be underappreciated. There is a very tough battle they are facing right now. It’s a battle. They are the most patient and well-rounded perspective people because they have to, to take care of the patient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1597010966640-1DI1ZTGVOSZUTBUIRLKU/Yvette%2BOtane.jpg Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part I - Yvonne Otani She/Her/Hers Pediatrician at Kaiser Permanente, South Sacramento Sacramento Buddhist Temple My autistic patient sat shyly in the corner, holding her extremity very still and crying. We had seen this child twice on video visits but her infection was progressing, and we needed to see her in person. She had already been screened for symptoms of COVID19 so we made an appointment for her to come see me. Although I knew it would be uncomfortable, I also knew it needed to be done before committing her to possible drainage of the infection with an operation and then a course in the hospital for intravenous antibiotics. With her mom’s help and after significant struggle, I was finally able to hold the extremity down enough to take two good pictures and exam it. After consultation, she was taken to the operating room and then admitted for intravenous antibiotics. The following morning, her COVID19 test returned positive, a surprise to all since she was asymptomatic. The test was done as surveillance for admission to the hospital. I had been exposed by an unmasked and combative patient.It would have been natural to be worried, upset, and bitter over this exposure, but Buddhism has taught me so much about gratitude, acceptance, and resilience. Instead of anger, there was acceptance of a situation which could no longer be changed. Instead of anxiety, there was gratitude for being in a profession in which I can help children and still have a job. Instead of being immobilized by worry for my family and me, there was the ability to take each day as it came and live with no regrets. Many of my old friends and colleagues in private practice have taken significant pay cuts or sold their practices as their patient volume decreased with the sheltering in place orders. COVID19 has presented great challenges to all of us, but certainly will not be the last challenge of the medical profession. We, as physicians, have much for which to be grateful. We, as people, should be grateful for each new day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1597010818899-26RHT4Y920AV5089XPGX/Mae%2BYamasaki.jpg Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part I - Mae Yamasaki She/Her/Hers Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at Multicare Mary Bridge Evergreen Clinic Seattle Buddhist Temple Is this my personality that makes my work the way I look at work? Or, my Buddhism? My coworker says it's my personality. But I'm like, I don't know. So many parts of my work, Buddhism comes out and through. As I get older, I'm getting wiser. I'm laid back. I listen to people. I've just noticed the way I am. I try not to get angry. I guess it's kind of a life choice I made. When I'm looking at work I take the Middle Road. There is no black and white in medicine. There's a lot of gray. We make those great choices which you can call the Middle Road. I think a lot of medicine is listening to people. You compile. You make a decision with all the information you get from the person, and from my facts put it together, make a choice. For example, I had a student nurse practitioner. She was just graduating. To her, an ear infection ‘has to look exactly like ‘this’ when I look at it. Otherwise I will not treat it with antibiotics.’ Well sometimes the ear doesn't look like a textbook ear infection now, and may look like one in a few days. But by then, the kid’s got other symptoms, like fever and miserable pain. That's the difference between school and real life. Real life is you listening to all the facts. You make a decision whether you want to treat because sometimes it just makes sense to treat even though the ear, even if it doesn't look like the textbook, just in case. It's gonna be a long road. You guys keep the good work up. My additional words are kind of pointed towards the youth: keep doing what you're doing. Keep fighting the good fight. But also remember that us older folks move a little slower than you do. Remember to be respectful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1597010762784-LWKV0XO8EAQ704OD64TI/Nancy%2BAochi.jpg Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part I - Nancy Aochi She/Her/Hers Physical Therapist in California San Jose Buddhist Church As a Buddhist, one of my aspirations is to “be kind and gentle to every living thing” according to the Golden Chain. I keep these wise words close to my heart. I chose to become a physical therapist because I wanted a job that was meaningful and positive, one that made a difference in people’s lives. When I go to work each day, I try my best to be open-minded with my patients. Sometimes it’s hard to do! I ask myself, “what would be the wisest and most compassionate way to help this person?” I realize that no two people are the same. Each of us has a different story and a different past. When I work with a patient, I try to remember that each of us has our own perspective, influencing our thoughts and actions. Being open-minded is one of the most important qualities in my job. It allows me to more fully understand my patients and how to help them. I am grateful to be a Buddhist and have the opportunity to help people as a physical therapist. Now as a parent, I get to teach my three daughters to “be kind and gentle to every living thing”, which means a lot to me. I hope they will continue to hear the wise words of the Golden Chain in their minds, as they grow up, go out in the world, and make choices about who they want to be. https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/stories-from-healthcare-workers-3 monthly 0.5 2020-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1598323548169-SK9LEP1TNAIBEGSIVCTF/Lauren%2BAsaba.jpg Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part III - Lauren Asaba She/Her/Hers Employee Health Nurse at UW Medicine Seattle Buddhist Church We are all dependent on each other, it feels like. I appreciate the work that everybody does to keep everybody safe. It takes a village to handle COVID-19 safely and effectively. I rely on the screeners who screen everyone walking through the doors, the security, the custodial staff. My job now, I have monitored any exposures of people coming through the emergency, even after the fact they test COVID-positive. Speaking of COVID, I appreciate the work that everyone is doing to keep the community safe to try to decrease the numbers here. The forefront of what I am doing, it feels very different. I do feel very lucky that I am exposed to all these amazing workers in the hospital and I do have a great appreciation for all the work that people do. I am dependent on them - we are all dependent - on them to care for all the people that come in to care for ourselves and each other. It takes all of us to work together. We are all putting our best effort to get this under control. I guess I haven’t really thought of it. I guess I have been shaped by my Buddhist upbringing: my parents were Buddhist, my grandparents were Buddhist. I hadn’t thought about it in terms of shaping what I do as Buddhist, but I suppose it does. I don’t think I’m doing anything different than what my colleges are doing. We are all working hard to keep everyone safe here. I want to say “thank you” for putting the community first. They are really there to get the numbers down and open up again. I see a lot of dedication and hard work. I see very little complaining and fear. Everyone is doing their part. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1598323629046-MJ5KQ0WCO0K3ONWXD5CI/TammyMatsumoto.jpg Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part III - Tammy Matsumoto She/Her/Hers Registered Nurse Certified and Public Health Nurse at O’Connor Hospital San Jose Buddhist Church I enjoy the interaction with people. I like taking care of people. I like seeing them get better if they are ill. Being a Buddhist has influenced my work in a couple of ways. The original hospital I worked with was a Catholic Hospital. They did a lot of things that Catholics do, and as Buddhists, I’ve never been exposed to those things before, things like Ash Wednesday. I had to go into a patient’s room, and I had no idea what Ash Wednesday initially until my coworkers explained it to me. I remember walking in and thinking, “she has dirt on her forehead, what’s going on here? Should I say something?” Good thing I didn’t because I later saw nuns going around into people’s rooms. I realized something must be going on. I spoke later to a coworker and she explained it to me. I tried to be respectful of it, but it was interesting. In terms of managing patients as Buddhist, I try to be more empathetic. In terms of COVID, I try to explain to my patients in not necessarily a Buddhistic way. Buddhism focuses on interdependence: everything relates to each other. With COVID, it’s super clear: if my patient is not wearing a mask and she is positive, not only is she affecting me, but also whomever I am exposed to, and also her family and whomever they are exposed to. At the hospital, you are only allowed to have a significant other or a person with you, if you are admitted. If you are not admitted, you are by yourself. Being alone by yourself can be very intimidating. When you are dropped off at a hospital, it is very isolating, especially if you have anxiety. So, seeing how you are connected to each other, and how you can relate to them can make a big difference for the patient. I guess my message to healthcare workers now would be, “keep doing what you are doing, you’re doing a great job.” I think the public is a lot more aware of the sacrifices we make now, we get more positive reinforcement from our patients than we used to. Stay vigilant. Stay safe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1598323593450-QUCJ2K3NTY8K0BZPMVJ3/Ellen%2BHiga.jpg Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part III - Ellen Higa She/Her/Hers Pharmacist at City of Hope National Medical Center Orange County Buddhist Temple/San Jose Buddhist Temple Before all of this COVID stuff, on a day-to-day basis, when we go into the cleanroom, you always wear like a mask, head covers, down gloves. And so now with COVID, we're finding out that we are having a shortage of our PPE. That’s a scary thing because the reason why we wear all of that is to protect the patient, so that we don't accidentally contaminate whatever IV product we make. Before whenever you go in and out of the IV room, you would always put new mask things on. But now since there's a shortage, you keep your mask in a paper bag, so that you save it for the whole day. Just because there’s not enough. It's really bizarre. As far as hand washing and using alcohol, hand sanitizer, things like that, we have always done that so it's kind of interesting. Cool! That's because our population is immunocompromised, so they are at higher risk of maybe getting infections from the hospital. It's horrible to find out you have cancer. I think that just knowing that all of the patients are really going through a lot helps me focus better at work. You know even though there are some things that are kind of crazy, or it just seems like maybe it's a really long day. But in the end, you know, I'm just at work. Other people are really fighting for their lives. I think Buddhism really helps put into perspective that it’s bigger than just me. Our hospital is really really just trying to help people combat a longstanding disease. We can help support everybody else like, “Hey, let’s do this a little bit longer!” Unfortunately it's because of the pandemic, but it's really neat the amount of education that's coming out about any kind of contagious disease. Hopefully not too many people are getting too sick, but overall this will help us be better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1598323662225-J076ZMKOB99GHE95P8B4/Grant%2BSano.jpg Our Columns - Stories from Healthcare Workers: Part III - Garrett Sano He/Him/His School of Nursing at Fresno State Fresno Buddhist Church As a new graduate registered nurse, I had a lot of expectations for the world of health care, but I also had moments that nursing school did not prepare me for. School gave me a lot of knowledge but I was lacking real world experience. The experience to make quick decisions and apply my knowledge for my patients. These experiences coupled with knowledge develop wisdom. Wisdom allows for insight, judgement, and understanding. However, being a nurse is not just being wise, there is also showing empathy and compassion. Being able to make my patient comfortable in a place as uncomfortable as a hospital is important. Patients must sleep in strange hospital beds and be woken up to have their vitals taken or blood drawn, all while being sick. During what is considered a patient’s darkest times, it is essential to have a nurse who will not only have the knowledge to treat them, but genuinely care for them. Therefore, I try to apply the Buddhist values of wisdom and compassion into my nursing care. These are qualities that I see in many great nurses. Those who have a balance of both the wisdom to treat patients, but also the compassion to care for them. As a new nurse I will continue to develop my wisdom and compassion so I can provide the best care for the patients who put their trust in me. https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/lrioed7wmlkf2bjn3fei3hsl4kez4w monthly 0.5 2022-12-02 https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/we-must-not-lose-the-drive-to-strive-for-racial-equality monthly 0.5 2020-09-12 https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/is-buddhism-part-of-the-model-minority-part-1 monthly 0.5 2020-09-18 https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/through-the-eyes-of-an-eagle monthly 0.5 2020-09-25 https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/tsukaharaphotography monthly 0.5 2021-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601093463498-UR6WQN1U1XWNE3053BZF/IMG_3977.JPG Our Columns - A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601093170046-SPOKL3DAC962MZJNNTUA/IMG_3976.JPG Our Columns - A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601093088330-BJOBLE0ZRMPNNK2REKNG/IMG_3974.JPG Our Columns - A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601093242629-J0LM50Q4RISLN3SV0KKX/IMG_3975.JPG Our Columns - A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601093891780-O2SKV12TJRQM6D56GI4U/IMG_3980.JPG Our Columns - A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601093821560-Y1REFPFQ5YB51KW4I2GP/IMG_3978.JPG Our Columns - A New Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601093787216-DLCK8A0Y2B28V30ZZN4K/IMG_3979.JPG Our Columns - A New Lens https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/bykeistudio monthly 0.5 2021-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601092192291-QY8AYSJW51QAWORIYTP9/image-asset.jpeg Our Columns - Turning a Hobby into Etsy Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601092095337-S20YAHVOHJ60YTW24XJK/Untitled_Artwork+%281%29.jpeg Our Columns - Turning a Hobby into Etsy Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601092178969-SRINBKCUCHQK4IHR4PRW/image-asset.jpeg Our Columns - Turning a Hobby into Etsy Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601092128159-L4K0TF9WDL1OT9USFH61/image-asset.jpeg Our Columns - Turning a Hobby into Etsy Store https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/ways-of-being monthly 0.5 2021-03-08 https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/6x2ri49j4a7940ypjcfk69gvfdoxr4 monthly 0.5 2021-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601789762575-I9SSU8QAEINP8V665A6G/apf+drawing+-+Never+Forget%2C+Never+Repeat.png Our Columns - Awareness and Activism Through Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601789733096-XIRJGD4ZESB1VJA2YDNF/image-asset.png Our Columns - Awareness and Activism Through Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601789717281-Q6D003UWYYCEB40PZCJA/ASU+2020+design.png Our Columns - Awareness and Activism Through Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601789690239-UQH05V1YR80PL9O35PDT/ASU+Crane+Sticker.png Our Columns - Awareness and Activism Through Art https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/nina-dym-youtube monthly 0.5 2021-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601353191244-NTQ35Q9REQHVKNUM9JBG/NinawhatIeatinaweek.jpeg Our Columns - Channeling my passion as a content creator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601353254060-E4GMA8HNCD52DREH9019/Ninamyhonestreviews.jpeg Our Columns - Channeling my passion as a content creator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601353225516-4ML4CGOG9WVOVOKXK2WW/5easyjapanesenoodlesNina.jpeg Our Columns - Channeling my passion as a content creator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1601353164790-29IK4ENQFGYQ4DTB4UNQ/NinaSelf.jpg Our Columns - Channeling my passion as a content creator https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/letters-to-educators monthly 0.5 2020-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1602214297900-18C95Z78XCZYIL81ORPR/KellieLee.jpg Our Columns - Letters to Educators - Kellie Lee She/Her/Hers UCLA School of Dentistry Sacramento Buddhist Temple After my senior year of high school, right before I started college, I attended the YAC retreat in Sacramento. Rev Bob and Rev Patti always emphasized the idea that although all of us from the YAC 11 group came from different backgrounds, temples, places around the United States, but we all came together on the similar commonality of Buddhism. I didn’t really talk to a ton of people that weren’t around my age before, but I started relating to people that were younger than me and older than me because we shared the common interest of Buddhism. It was really interesting to learn from all of the reverends and senseis there. YAC taught me that I can relate to others based on things that I don’t really think about in my normal life. I guess that kind of carries over to dental school. A lot of people that I’ve met in my class, at first glance, I don’t really have much in common with them because they’re from different backgrounds, stages of life, and places around the world. But we are all able to come together under one common thing, which is dentistry right now. We all just have the same passion of wanting to help people and provide great smiles for everyone. Working hard together, trying to learn about teeth and all the different specialties and everything. I think that’s really cool that a bunch of people can come together and learn about something that brings us all closer to each other. It relates to my current education for sure, but this is definitely something that I will carry with me throughout life. Knowing that even though I may not have something immediately in common with someone, there are other ways that I can relate to them. If I wrote a letter to Reverend Bob and Reverend Patti, I would definitely thank them for educating me about something that I didn’t realize before. I think that it was really important that I learned that I can relate to a ton of people in different ways than I would’ve thought of. I don’t think it’s something I would’ve recognized on my own because sometimes it’s hard for me to find commonalities with other people if it’s not just out in the open and obvious. I am really thanking them for the guidance they have shown me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1602214680695-PMVD61VSB0YCKHAC6DBU/SydneyTakeda.JPG Our Columns - Letters to Educators - Sydney Takeda She/her Physiological Science Major at UCLA Sacramento He was my Organic Chemistry professor. He taught me a lot about compassion. For one, he told us how easy it would’ve been for him to record the lectures and move back to India, but because he is so dedicated as a professor and to us, he thought it would be best to stay in LA. By staying in LA, he said, he would be providing the best education for us. O Chem is a really difficult class. The first midterm he was super lenient: 24 hours to complete it, open notes, or whatever. However, one student uploaded it onto Chegg, which is the website with the solutions. Obviously he found out. He didn’t tell us for like two days. He sent this really long email telling us about this big scandal and that he felt bad about it. He thought he didn’t do enough for us, to the point where people were resorting to the Internet. Before every single test, he would give this big speech saying, “I am so proud of you guys. You are gonna do well. I am so grateful to be teaching our future health heroes.” This man said this every single test or when someone said something bad about themselves! His overall grading philosophy was compassionate where he would give a super challenging test, but grade easy. On the first midterm, to be honest, I bombed. On the second midterm, I got 113% because his grading was super lenient. He taught me a lot about compassion. I would like to thank him for sacrificing so much because he didn’t move back to India to be with his family during this uncertain time, in order to be in the same time zone to teach us. I want to thank him for making sure we were safe and healthy. He was so compassionate with everyone and their circumstances because when the cheating scandal happened, he said he didn’t know what was going on in our lives. No hard feelings. He wanted to figure this out and make it better for everyone. In addition, I want to thank all teachers for the experiences that have shaped me into who I am today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1602213874891-WYL7ZBLSOG4CT9FDEA9Q/EricaHorn.jpg Our Columns - Letters to Educators - Erica Horn She/Her Special Education, Elementary Education Seattle Buddhist Church I would say how Buddhism has influenced me as an educator, well just in general, the two parts of Buddhism that are the most meaningful to me are the Golden Chain and the idea of interconnectedness. I feel like as a teacher, those two things are just right there. It’s been really important to me to see the impact I have on other people and teach students to recognize their impact on others. So whether that’s how they carry themselves in the classroom or words they use in the classroom, or in their personal lives. For example, the part of the Golden Chain where it says, “be kind and gentle to every living thing.” I think that’s something I try to embody in my life in general, and so that bleeds over as my role as an educator, even virtually. My training as a Special Ed teacher has trained me to look at behavior in a different way as most educators. When I have a student who is having a difficult time, I tend to look as a student has an unmet need: what are they trying to communicate through their behavior, how can I support them, how can I teach them to have a more socially appropriate response. I think that is different from some educators because I think traditionally behavior is looked at as, “this kid is misbehaving, there is a consequence.” I do think that situation happens a lot. I think a lot of teachers view students as acting out or throwing a fit. That’s not how I view it - I view it as an unmet need. Once the student is ready and depending on their developmental level, after the situation is over, talking with the student with the impact with the environment around them, whatever it might be. Buddhism has influenced how I have interacted with my students and colleagues. The idea of interconnectedness and everybody having an impact on each other is really important to me. I try to go into teaching with a mindset of how I can be beneficial to all of my students or my colleagues. I ask myself, “How can I have a positive impact on other people today?” I try to teach my students that their actions and words have an impact on those around them. In my letter to my students and colleagues, I would say: “Be kind to each other.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1602213522253-WI8DZY8BD1BSIMG2A9LR/MarleyUyemura.jpeg Our Columns - Letters to Educators - Marley Kazumi-Uyemura She/Her Japanese Major, Asian American Studies Minor Nishi Honganji During my senior year of high school, I was failing my AP Statistics class because I had a lot of things going on, like being the Southern District president and getting my Girl Scout Gold Award and applying to colleges. Failing an AP class was something I definitely didn’t need. Back then, I was more hesitant to ask for help in classes. Especially since it was an AP course, I felt there were a lot of standards for me to uphold. I felt like I shouldn’t ask for help. “I could handle it.” As time went on, I realized this couldn’t continue and I had to swallow my pride and ego. I went to talk to my teacher and said, “I am struggling and I don’t know why.” So it was at that moment, I didn’t know how she would respond because I did have trouble paying attention in class and things like that. When I talked to her, she actually told me I could take my tests before classes start during zero period, without anyone there. When I did that, I went from a D to A in a semester’s time. She said nobody had done that before. I was like, ok cool. I realized the problem wasn’t necessarily the fact I didn’t understand the content. I had test anxiety. What I learned from this, is not only that small act of compassion put me on a better track for my grades, but it also taught me a lot about myself as a student and how to treat other people. I started to look at people with more compassion and understanding. A lot of times, we don’t know if someone next to us is going through something really difficult in their lives. Whether it is during COVID times or not, compassion, big or small, could really change somebody’s life. For her, it could’ve been a really small gesture because she was already there early. I wasn’t getting any handicaps or extra time. I was just getting fewer distractions. That was my introduction to mental health and how I treated myself. My outlook on life was a lot different than it is now. I was very much an optimistic person. It wasn’t until that moment when I realized that I should pay attention to the signs of anxiety and reach out for help because people are compassionate. There are open-minded people who will understand your situation. All in all, I learned that a small act of compassion led me to be a better student and person. As a person, it made me become more aware and sensitive to what other people are going through. I learned the importance of introspection and self-reflection. If I didn’t have that first experience of struggling, it opened the door and reflected that there was a lot going on. That little moment involved my grades, but also so much more than that. I would like to thank her. It was a pretty difficult point in my life, to say the least. I put a lot of stress on myself that year. To have teachers that support you and care about your dreams and aspirations, gives me a lot of faith in educators. Thank you for opening my world a little more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1602214608685-QAHEJW63MYJ6K34WWBMX/AudreySeo.jpeg Our Columns - Letters to Educators - Audrey Seo She/Her/Hers Dharma School Teacher Mountain View Buddhist Temple I was drawn to Buddhism because at its root, it’s simple. It’s not difficult to understand. The lessons are really about being a good person and realizing that we are all interconnected in some way, shape or form. I think that in light of the pandemic, I think that it’s really come to light how interconnected we all are. I think that the nature of each individual person’s character is always there and you’re born with it. Outwardly we can try to be more friendly. In times of stress, we might be more stressed. I think that if I were to be able to tell my dharma school students not to judge people for things that are happening right now because we’re under a very high pressure situation today and it’s not necessarily reflected in people's true nature. The face that people are showing right now may not be truly who they are, so we should not judge or place them in categories. I think one of the easiest things for my kindergarteners to understand is gratitude. We try to tie something about gratitude into things we do. I don’t see myself as a leader or a teacher necessarily, just trying to be an example for my students, for the kids, former students or anyone I come in contact with. Just try to be a good citizen, just be kind. That’s what I strive to do everyday, both in class and at work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1602214471931-7M5ORA81WVNUJ2IHIN4G/AllisonShibata.jpg Our Columns - Letters to Educators - Allison Shibata She/Her High School Student Seattle Buddhist Church We watched this movie in dharma school called Osama, a 2003 movie that follows this pre-teen girl who is living in Afghanistan. She needs to dress up as a boy to work and support her family, who’s escaping the Taliban. It gets really difficult when she is drafted into the boy’s military training school, and later discovered and put on trial. She was supposed to get the death penalty but gets married to this old guy. This isn’t a movie I would normally watch because I like Disney and “happy” things. But it did bring up a really good discussion. Ron’s purpose for playing this movie was to show us what’s going on in other countries. He played this around 9/11 to show us the horror of the Taliban in Afghanistan. He also wanted to show us a lot of things haven’t changed, since when Shinran was alive because there are still oppressed groups, like the focus of this movie: women. The reason the main character had to dress up as a guy was to work because it was illegal for women to be out and about without a man. An activity he had the high school students do was mix us around the classroom, “you go over here, here, here.” In the end, he mixed us around some more so that we ended with the girls on one side and the boys on the other. He said, “you can go to school, you can’t, but you can go. You have to listen to me because I am a man.” This was kinda how it was when Shinran was alive because women didn’t have the same freedom as men. Education wasn’t prioritized for women, and neither was access to religion. Ron helped us from a Buddhist perspective, we need to take action and stand up for what we believe in. We also have to see how we have progressed and appreciated the opportunities we have now. I would like to say thank you to Ron for opening my eyes to what I have in life and realize I’ve taken a lot of things for granted. After watching Osama, I started to read the news, something I did not do before. There are things I don’t know about that will impact me. I also started reading books, not just romance books, but actual books on social issues and movements. I started getting more involved: signing petitions and helping educate my friends.

As the novel Coronavirus spread globally and Covid-19 cases spiked rapidly, our entire routines and ways of living shifted dramatically, and seemingly overnight. We had to transition to working and attending school remotely. Zoom calls and video hangouts became the social norm. The walls of our homes became almost too familiar as the "stay-at-home" fatigue set in. Varying degrees of social and economic struggle, of losing loved ones in different capacities have been felt in our communities. And now, as a sort of coping mechanism to the collective trauma we have been dealing with, we joke almost relentlessly about how 2020 was the worst year ever; good riddance, and thank goodness it's finally over. But really, 2020 was just the passing of another year. Seasons came and went, important holidays and milestones were celebrated, and we found a way to persevere and ride the waves of new changes. As Buddhists, we are taught the lesson of impermanence. "Everything changes; nothing stays the same." This past year, and what we are continuing to go through with the global pandemic, has really reminded me of the impermanence around me. It's important to be present in the everyday moments of your life rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future because, as we have seen, everything might change in an instant. This lesson and timely reminder have made me more mindful of the joys I have in my life and have helped me to practice holding my heart full of gratitude for each moment that passes. One such joy, and one thing I achieved this past year, is that I was able to spend time in nature doing a hobby that I really love: hiking. In 2020, I took on something called the 52 Hike Challenge - to get outside and hike once a week for 52 weeks. I completed my first hike of the year on January 1st and finished the challenge on December 31st with a sunrise hike for number 52. In my year of hiking, I was able to see the delicate changes in nature with each passing season. Some of my favorite hikes were in the Fall as the trees put on their colorful displays, and the beauty of the impermanence of those moments was evident. Completing 52 hikes also made me feel strong, and I felt gratitude not only for the power of my body but also for my own mental strength and resilience in surviving the highs and lows of the pandemic. 2020 for me will always be my year of hiking, and I’m glad that I was able to embark on the challenge and to find a way to appreciate the impermanence of the world around me.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1613636276123-CJGEMUWDM8FI19QTAGUT/Trevor_and_Darby.jpg Our Columns - One Year of… - One Year of Trevor and Darby Trevor Yokoyama & Darby Charest He/Him, She/Her Seattle Buddhist Temple “Transcript of an interview between Trevor Yokoyama and Darby. Trevor: Hello Everyone, my name is Trevor Yokoyama, and with me is my Girlfriend Darby. We have been dating for 1 year, long-distance, starting on January 5th, 2020. Darby goes to the University of Arizona studying Special Education Rehabilitation Psychology with a minor in Family Studies and Human Development. Typically, Darby lives in Tucson Arizona for 9 months out of the year to attend school. I live in Seattle-Washington so our relationship is long distance. Honestly, we see each other about the same even if there wasn’t a current active pandemic. Anyways, say hi Darby. Darby: Hi. Trevor: Ok, so this interview is mainly to gauge any achievements, thoughts, or insights during the year 2020. Additionally, we want to do this to celebrate 1 year of YBE. YAY. Ok, first question, “What have you achieved this year?” Darby: Well, at the start of the year, I felt very confident in the goals I set for myself. Within the three months before the world came to a halt, I was cultivating deeper relationships with my college friends, excelling academically, teaching an undergraduate class while working a part-time tutoring job, and still finding the time to exercise and decompress. In a way, I look back and see that version of myself as confident, engaged, and filled with vigor. I was enamored with my life. I enjoyed my school days and nights getting to call you and catch-up. There were other plans that I had for 2020 such as traveling to Norway and adopting a cat, but those dreams were cut short when our school and the world announced that we had to go home and shelter-in-place. At this time, I had just come off a high from a spring-break trip to Puerto Penasco, Mexico. I was excited to get back to the classrooms and finish the semester strongly; at that time I had increasing ambitions for my school life such as starting up a new honorary. Yet, when our school President made the announcement it felt that everything I had achieved in those three months of the new year meant nothing. Rather, I was filled with grief. My ambitions were put on hold - I felt like I was put on hold. I even remember the heaviness of my grief as I landed back in SEATAC, lacking the energy to smile at my mom when she picked me up. I even felt remorse for lacking excitement to be back with family, to be back to see you. It took a month or so to adjust with being back in Washington, being back at home and sharing space with two working parents on the same WiFi, and back in my childhood room. Everything was frustrating and overwhelming. One insomnia-filled night, the posters and notes that cluttered my bedroom walls were overwhelming me, so I simply got up and started removing the anxiety-inducers from my wall. You see, I’m a sentimental person. I hold value and attach memories to seemingly useless things - and these things existed on my walls for years. With each thing I removed from the wall I felt a sense of release; I was letting go of all the things I yearned for or missed. Letting go is something that I have limited experience in practicing. Trevor: Ah that was deep, I can definitely empathize with you in regards to the last year not going how I had originally envisioned. How can you view it from a Buddhist perspective? Darby: Through my limited knowledge of Buddhism, I would say that I believe learning to let go has been my greatest achievement this year. I let go of the goals I had originally set for the year. I let go of ambitions of the past. Instead, I focused on my present and what I could do for myself and others day by day. I let go of the expectations of my 20th birthday, summer holidays, winter holidays, the fall semester. Letting go has allowed me to move forward and tackle a full-semester online and a relationship miles apart. I let go of the image of my ‘best’ self and focused on my true and present self. Trevor: Thanks for letting me interview you. Happy 1 year anniversary for YBE, and also happy 1 year anniversary for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1613635644524-ITOXTYJC60UX8KXTP0Y6/Andy+Yamashita+2.png Our Columns - One Year of… - One Year of Resilient Journalism Andy Yamashita He/Him/His Seattle Buddhist Temple | Bay Area “The biggest thing, I mean obviously with the pandemic it’s been hard to do anything. I would say my biggest achievement is probably I had a chance to be part of the sports journalism institute, which is a program to help increase the diversity of newsrooms across America, and through that, I had the chance to do my first real media internship with the Denver Post this summer. First time in my life that I wasn’t living on the West Coast, I knew absolutely nobody in the city. It was really hard, I’m not gonna front, it was legitimately one of the hardest times for my own mental health, just the isolation, I was living in the basement of the Features editor, and not meeting anybody, I was on my phone or on Zoom 24/7 pretty much. I was able to turn things around. That’s probably one of my biggest achievements this year, I was able to do this thing, and not only that but I got to tell some stories that I was really proud of. I did a piece on Michael Ray Richardson, who was the first player to be kicked out of the NBA on the three strike drug policy, what he’s done with his life since. I had the chance to tell a story about Japanese American baseball leagues in Denver that I was lucky enough to learn about and tell some other stories like that. I got to interview an NWSL soccer player. I had a couple of other stories about Japanese Americans. I wrote a story about virtual Obon, which was awesome that the Denver Post wanted me to write that story and awesome that the Denver Buddhist Temple had already reached out to me and we had been talking. I had the chance to do some really cool things, and those are probably my biggest achievements for the year. In terms of how to view them through a Buddhist lens, you know I’ll be the first person to admit I’m not, and I know Rev. Bob said there aren’t really good Buddhists and bad Buddhists, but I’d be the first to admit that I’m probably not what you would consider a good Buddhist. But you know, I’d like to think that my view on the world and how I interact with people is, and you know in hindsight when I reflect on it is very influenced by Buddhism. We talk in Buddhism all the time about how hard is it to be born into human life, you know, how hard is it to find a job in a pandemic, how hard is it to get experience as a Person of Color in a traditionally White industry. Before I had a chance to do Sports Journal Institute (SJI), my biggest fear was I was going to never have a chance to even show people that I could do this kind of work. I’ve never been afraid that I couldn’t do it or that it was going to be too hard for me, my biggest fear has always been that I’d never even get a chance to show people what I could do. When I was in Denver and I was really struggling, having a hard time like all we can do is roll with the punches, we can’t control anything outside of ourselves, so all you can control is yourself, and remembering that I was extremely lucky to be there and how many of my friends and how many of my colleagues would trade anything to be in my situation, those things were definitely huge in helping me persevere. I think also that the interconnectedness ideas of how I view things has helped me as a journalist a lot, it helps me see things from a bigger perspective. I think those are the two biggest things, but I think in general, living in the pandemic has made me reflect a lot on how Buddhism affects my view of the world. So much of our problems in America dealing with COVID have been a lack of understanding of that interconnectedness, a lot of selfishness. People who don’t see that a lot of time it's ignorance or a lack of compassion, which are all things I’ve been lucky enough to be exposed to through Buddhism. I think, if anything, 2020 has actually reaffirmed some of the things that I maybe didn’t realize in my life were impacted by Buddhism. 2020 and sitting in my house alone has made me contemplate some of those things - contemplate those decisions and think about why I made them and why I feel the way I do about different issues, and a lot of that does come back to the teachings that I received from ministers or from my family. I think that’s probably been the way Buddhism has impacted my 2020, probably in the same way it normally does, honestly, but I’ve just had more time to sit around and reflect on it.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1613636090506-V98UE41O8BF8LQCBM3UV/Kayli_Luke.jpg Our Columns - One Year of… - One Year of Adulting and Loving Kayli Luke She/Her/Hers Seattle Buddhist Temple “Looking back and reflecting on 2020, although it was a tough year, good things can come out of it, like it was a tough, tough year for everyone. Fortunately for me, I was able to become a homeowner and graduate. 2020 was a crazy year in addition to the pandemic because my boyfriend, Robby, and I bought a house together in Arizona in May, which was pretty exciting, and this past December I graduated from Arizona State University. Despite the madness of the pandemic, I was able to achieve some large milestones that I have had on my goals list for a while. My Buddhist perspective has led me to view life more mindfully. Reverend Castro always said this in his Dharma talks I was growing up in Seattle, “out of the mud grows the lotus,” and that’s what I took out of 2020. Mud you know, is so gross and so disgusting, and something so beautiful like a lotus can grow out of it. Being a homeowner is not easy, from what I have learned so far. I’ve lived with Robby since the end of December 2018, and although it was hard in the beginning because we had to acclimate to each other’s living situations, we were able to work together to make it work. We used to have roommates, where they had to adjust to our living situations and we had to adjust to theirs. We had this roommate that definitely taught me a mindfulness lesson. It was hard - really, really hard. Roommates are not for everybody. One year of being a homeowner, or one year of anything for that matter, just shows how driven you are. One year of being a homeowner, for me, shows a huge amount of growth. I learned so much more than what I knew when I was living with my parents, like bills and other things that need to happen around the house. It’s the simplest things, like spraying around the house for bugs. One year has made me and Robby grow as both individuals and together.” https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/becoming-settled-in-unsettlling-times monthly 0.5 2022-12-02 https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/in-every-direction monthly 0.5 2022-12-02 https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/articles/topaz-stories monthly 0.5 2021-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1614562382055-DLCSWOVHA5DOB1O0NDUJ/notice-l.jpg Our Columns - Letters to Tanforan: Left Behind&nbsp; - Evacuation notice in San Francisco.

We were like rural kids without the means or a place to buy toys. When it was kite season, the old men sat in front of their barracks and taught us how to make kites from scrap wood and paper. The kites were always decorated with the fierce faces of gods or samurai (Japanese warriors), and the desert winds would send the kites soaring into the sky. They were diamonds, squares, and boxes glittering against the blue-black sky with a distant blue mountain in the background.

For many of us in the Americas, Buddhism has not only been religious center point but a cultural identity that has crossed the Pacific Ocean with us and has endured the same hardships that many of us have had to face. This photo series is comprised of our community member’s home obutsudans, and other objects or spaces for remembering the teachings of the Buddha. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1591857156218-4FSXCDU6JD8CQKKHBBY8/Relocation9.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1591856879465-RUAH3KA9NDV0A22CHY1T/MarissaWongOnaijin.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590128925452-CXQADEJEQBQDH46QRYYM/IMG_2245.JPG.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590128795259-VYLMRV93JAWPFVKMXBCZ/P1180820.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590128929320-6DI1HEWD32XMUEQUEV83/IMG_2246.JPG.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590128807107-QD4KO11U0XAP41MLCLVD/P1180764.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1591857123086-DM8ADG302G2PCXBD7K0B/Relocation5.JPG Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590129199172-MJC1YP2UWE6BQPIXBIW7/AA023.JPG.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590129202279-W3FCFMEVA7MXMN50G2O1/C0F91706-10E8-4868-80B8-978AE515F876.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590129208143-8IGPSNYAORR537LT3LEC/IMG_4619.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590128881755-623D0E6GVK4JDSEI7OCS/P1180936.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590129207622-FF417IABQ6KHSLJK9RNR/image.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590128944941-99W01PMFPX3QFBO4A27C/P1190040.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1591857244478-BXABHEAITDMT1WBS0JJV/Relocation10.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590128913809-HM6F8G6X794GK2SQVQ2V/P1180953.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590128939902-AZSCMHMTKE3AJ0MCON35/P1180991.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590129544328-42YXRSNCECYUVUK8MPEQ/IMG_1898_edited.jpg Gallery https://www.youngbuddhisteditorial.com/rooted-in-buddhism daily 0.75 2020-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1595364306065-BGK6FFI50A5VGADAY42J/Nishi+Hongwanji+sunset.jpg Rooted in Buddhism Nishi Hongwanji / Photography by Rev.

For Thirteen Years, the Sacramento Buddhist Temple hosted the Youth Advocacy Committee (YAC), a one-week retreat for teens within the Buddhist Churches of America. Participants developed lifelong friendships while learning Buddhist fundamentals, creating successful Dharma Talk, and becoming certified Youth Minister Assistants (YMA). As we know, life is impermanent and everything must come to an end. YAC ended in a week, however, our lives continued. We moved onto college, jobs, marriage, families, and more. Every month will highlight a different YAC year, starting with the most recent and moving in chronological order. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1594008089719-H5UZ9KHQ7Q0D9H28RBL2/yac+11+photo+1.jpg HoB: The YAC Series - YAC 11 Edition The members of YAC 11 talk about the people in their life who have impacted their perspective of Buddhism https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590184729383-OIS0YQ35ASBF12O5536Y/95729222_833970663779545_1352543247993405440_n.jpg HoB: The YAC Series - YAC 12 Edition It all begins with an idea.

My mom thinks it was purchased in 1960. I always took our Obutsudan for granted until I learned that it has been passed down from my great-grandma and grandma.

All I remember is that I used to meditate and chant with my Obachan and Ojichan every night when I was just 3 or 4 years old with them. Even though I was just a very young child, I have very distinct memories of meditating with them each night after dinner. My grandmother was blind but she raised me and had a significant influence on my life. I think that is why I have a strong following for the Buddhist religion. My grandmother really followed and lived the life of the nebustsu and truly was one of the kindest and compassionate persons I have ever known.” -Faye Mitsunaga https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590533557684-QBYWFIO0W3BB2STGK1DI/image-asset.jpeg Home is Where the Buddha Is Nakano-Matsumoto Family Obutsudan “Our Obutsudan was purchased when the kids were all young. We had several different Obutsudans that we had when we were in Dharma School made of paper or kamaboko boards or plastic. As we had young Dharma School kids we thought it was important to have a nice Obutsudan at home. It is a beautiful Obutsudan but I still like the old one that grandma and grandpa had, and the very old plain one that Bachan had.” - Naomi Nakano-Matsumoto https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590530719192-OTIUNVFZYZSX8Z8NJS6H/Gillian_Yamagiwa.jpeg Home is Where the Buddha Is Yamagiwa Family Obutsudan “My Obutsudan was inherited in 2005 from my great uncle after he passed away. Both of my aunt’s felt that I would appreciate the sentiment and importance of the Obutsudan the most, coming from a family that regularly practiced Buddhism. As a kid, I never really understood why we had an Obutsudan, but as I got older, I began to see it as a way to honor and remember loved ones that have passed.” - Gillian Yamagiwa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590530290890-9R6VV7RPQOK1FJR23CY1/Ashley_MacDonald_Family.jpeg Home is Where the Buddha Is (Ashley) MacDonald Family Obutsudan “My grandma bought the Obutsdan about 35 years ago. It is a treasured symbolic token in my family that we visit every day to pay respects to those friends and family that have passed. To show our appreciation and remembrance of them we also give rice and sweets as an offering.

The house we live in was Kevin's dad, so when we moved here the Obutsudan was here. The original owner was Kevin's grandparents. We think one of Kevin's father's uncles brought about five of the Obutsudans back from a visit to Japan in the 50s on a boat. It is special because Kevin's dad would open the butsudan when Jason and Justin were small and tell them about their great-grandparents who have pictures in the Obutsudan. I believe Jason and Justin know more about their Buddhist family than the Christian side because of this Obutsudan. Today, we don't open it often, but Kevin opens it on the day his dad passed away, and I open it every New Years”. - Sheryl Kunisaki https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec08d10ff60074cba2759ee/1590530867187-444HE3XIZE59N1JUZV1N/image-asset.png Home is Where the Buddha Is Watanabe Family Obutsudan “Our Obutsudan was a gift from an old family friend.

Patti Usuki helped me populate it with “spare parts” that she had at the temple. I also treated it to restore the lacquer finish. It was very meaningful to bring the Obutsudan into my home.

When they had an opportunity to purchase one, they saved for it. We were always reminded to share our treats at the Obutsudan before we were able to enjoy them ourselves.
