Introduction to the Midwest Buddhist Temple and the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Tradition

To begin your morning, guests will have the opportunity to attend the Midwest Buddhist Temple’s Monthly Memorial Service which honors those who have passed away during the month of November. After the service, guests will visit the Legacy Japanese Garden led by one of MBT’s docents. The garden was created to honor the Issei and Nisei pioneers of the temple. It was designed and built by Hoichi Kurisu, world-renowned Japanese Garden landscape designer. Rev. Tsuchiya will give a presentation on MBT’s tradition, and guests can share what they experienced with all their senses in the temple’s Hondo or main hall. There will be time for questions immediately following the presentation.
