On Sunday, October 16th, Dharma School had field trips!
Older students (middle school and up) were invited to join the Sunday Service at the Korean Bokwangsah Temple to experience and learn their practices.
-- and the younger students visited the Japanese Cemetery at the Rose City Cemetery.
They cleaned up and offered flowers to the grave of Rev. Shozui Wakabayashi who had officially founded the Buddhist Church of Portland in 1903.
Both field trips were fun, and great opportunities to think about history of our temple for the younger students, and different approaches to Buddhism for older students.
