It's been quite a Summer

SO....It's been a crazy summer!

Dr. Matsumoto was here for the 2011 Summer Session. It was really awesome. The topic for this year's session was Shin Buddhist Theology: Questions of Good & Evil, Humanness, and salvation. Thank You Wayde Toyama and Mike Lum for helping with the taping of Summer Session!!!! Also you can begin to watch some lectures on youtube here Right now there's only George Tanabe's lecture from the Lay Convention, but I'm assured there are more videos coming soon!

Sugi organized a trip to Podium Raceway "The Races" This was all that could make it that day minus Abby who is taking the picture. Oh this is just an overview of summer highlights more on some of the events coming soon :)

Thanks for coming out Cara, Ryne, Jake, Abby, and Marcie. Thanks for organizing Sugi! It was really fun!

This past weekend the 3rd Annual Young Adult Retreat was held at Camp Kokokahi in Kaneohe,Oahu. We apparently have to call it by the full name since Y.A.R. sounds strange to some ;) A more detailed blog will be coming later, but here is a picture at Pali Lookout after the hike. Thanks for the picture Alan Matsumoto!

Today is move- in day at UH-Manoa and so we've had several students stopping by and visiting. I wanted to personally all invite incoming freshman, people interested in Buddhism, young Buddhists, and not quite old Buddhists to come out to Manoaphobia on August 31st 530pm-10pm We would SERIOUSLY like to start a Young Adult Buddhists Association there will be more info when you get there, but there has been some nasty talk going around.
