YEAR OF THE OX
Within the Chinese Lunar Calendar, 2021 is the Year of the Ox. People born under the Year of the Ox are thought to be honest, earnest, never seek to be the center of attention and do not look for praise. They cultivate their relationships with their friends and family to navigate hardship, appreciation and meaning.
These characteristics also describe the MVBT Sangha – hardworking, earnest and cultivating relationships within the Temple. Our Sangha members are dedicated to the strength and commitment of the Temple and Shinran Shonin’s teachings.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
The ABA members wish all MVBT Sangha members a safe, healthy and happy 2021 and we look forward to the day when we can gather together inperson.
With Gassho,
Jean Shimoguchi
ABA President
