We are happy to announce that the Zazenkai is hosting Zenshuji 100th Anniversary A Series of Lectures and Conversations once a month starting this January to November. Please see the lecture series page below for more information.
Higan-E & Monthly Service
Higan-E service was held on September 18th in-person and online. The Dharma talks were given by Rev. Rev. Ryoko Miyazaki in English and by Rev. Daiki Toho in Japanese. Here is the video which was live-streamed on Facebook Live.
SHICHI-GO-SAN (7-5-3) SERVICE
Zenshuji Temple’s celebration for children’s Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3 years old) will be held on Sunday, November 6th at 11:00 am AND 2 pm. You can pick either time to register.
Usually girls of 7 years, boys of 5 years and boys and girls of 3 years old go to the local shrine to express gratitude to the Gods for their growth and continued blessings. The children dress in colorful traditional kimono as they enter the shrine. If Western attire is worn, the children dress up in party dresses and suits. The children are given candy called “chitoseame” (thousand year candy) to promise them long life. We order these candies from Japan.
To Register, please call the temple and register with the ministers
at Zenshuji. Also you can ask Ms. Akutagawa for kimono rental
and/or dressing. Please call her for pricing and detail at (805) 529-
0139
