Dharma Night

Recently you may have noticed some changes to the schedule of events at the BSC. This semester we are trying something new with Dharma Nights and Director's Nite which is only having them once a month. We know that everyone is busy and life gets crazy, but if you can take time out of your schedule at least 2 Fridays a month to come hang with us we'd sure appreciate it! Dharma Nights are usually the first Friday of every month and Director's Nite is usually the last Friday of the month. Coming up soon is Director's Nite and we'll be watching Invictus with Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. We'll also be celebrating our September Birthdays :)

For this month's Dharma Night Rev. Kevin wanted to talk about Rumi since he had received this wall hanging from a Turkish group on campus. Not only that, but Rumi had some very Buddhist thoughts and was a great poet. 

Rev. Kevin admitted that he wasn't an expert on Rumi or anything about Turkey and luckily we have a student Josh Byrnes from Hilo Hongwanji that is a religion major with an emphasis in Sufi who was able  to talk about Rumi and share a few of his personal favorite poems.


Also that night we were blessed enough to meet Ethan Okazaki the newest and youngest member of the Fellowship Club ;)

We look forward to seeing you at either a Director's Nite or a Dharma Night soon!
