10 am Shotsuki monthly and Eshinni, Kakushinni, all Buddhist women memorial service – Rev. George Matsubayashi (Jpn.); lunch;

Eshinni-ko and Kakushinni-ko are remembered for their support, as wife and daughter respectively, of Shinran Shonin. Shinran developed the profound insights that are the basis for Jodo Shinshu, but he had not intended to start a new school of Buddhism. It is through the seminal efforts of Kakushinni-ko that Shinran’s teachings are available to us now, nearly 750 years later.
