Makawao Hongwanji sets virtual service

Makawao Hongwanji will hold a virtual Dharma Family Service at 9 a.m. Sunday.

The service will be livestreamed on the temple’s Facebook page and will be available on its YouTube channel later in the day.

Rev. Kerry Kiyohara will address the 2021 slogan for Hongwanji temples in Hawaii on nurturing empathy and respect. This week’s discussion will center on how respect arises from wisdom and leads to reverence, as empathy leads to compassion, gratitude and joyful faith.

Lucy the Lady Bug and Barkley the Dog are back to help sensei share the Children’s Dharma Story Time book, “You Are (Not) Small,” written by Anna Kang and illustrated by Christopher Weyant.

Makawao Hongwanji Buddhist Temple is located at 1074 Makawao Ave. It has brought the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji tradition to Maui since 1907.

Call 572-7229 for more information.
