We are excited as we prepare for today’s special service, Hanamatsuri, flower festival. Also know as the Kanbutsu-e (bathe-Buddha-gathering), the celebration of the birth of Siddhārtha Guatama. We look forward to seeing you all today.

We would love to welcome you for our Hanamatsuri Service, to celebrate the birth of Amida Buddha. Following the service, we will have a potluck luncheon, so bring your best entree, salad, or dessert and your appetites, too! We look forward to seeing you all this Sunday.

Save The Date!! This is quite the special occasion and you are welcomed to observe this beautiful event in Seattle this Fall. Contact our Seattle Betsuin for further details.

As we wrap up this event and pack away all the goodies, we want to take this moment to thank everyone who came out to help but also to come out and enjoy the festivities. We truly appreciate the committed community that continues to come year after year. Thank you everyone.

We are ready for the waves for today’s fun event. We hope to see you all today. The roads in Yakima Valley are clear. Stayed tuned for LIVE feed during our busy day.

We are just days away from getting these fired up. Will you be joining us this Sunday?

This is what it’s looking like in our Kaikan (gym). Pictures cannot describe the real beauty of it all. You must come in person to experience it.

Did we mention that we are still planning to go through with this event this weekend? We are a strong troop.

We are just a couple weeks away from our annual big event. We sure hope to see you all there.

We don’t think the snow will slow us down from our annual event. Do you want some flyers to help us spread the word of this amazing event? We’d be glad to hand you some.

Please everyone be safe out there. The city of Yakima has declared a State of Emergency last night. The weather warning continues through this morning until 10:00 AM. https://www.yakimawa.gov/media/news/city-declares-state-of-emergency-due-to-severe-winter-weather/

Here in the Yakima Valley the weather sure has been daunting. ❄️ Please be careful everyone.
