Hawaii Buddhist Council Ministers Hold Annual Memorial Service

Sixteen ministers representing all sects of Buddhism and a number of Buddhist temples on O‘ahu held their annual memorial service in the chapel of the National Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl on May 18. The service is held each year prior to Memorial Day to remember the men and women who served in our country’s armed forces. This year’s service was organized by the Soto Zen sect. The service was open to the public. (Photo by Karen Kikukawa)
