Bishop Harada has graciously agreed to perform the Kieshiki service when he is in the Northwest this November. This is a formal ceremony for those who aspire to follow the Buddhist path by taking refuge in the Three Treasures of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. A formal Dharma name (homyo) is also given during this service.

 

Everyone who can make it is encouraged to attend this meaningful service, including non-Buddhist family and friends.
