The temple provides the following explanation of Obon.

“In Jodoshinshu, Obon is called Kangi-e, or the Gathering of Joy. It is the major festival of our Buddhist calendar year. It is a memorial service and celebration in memory of our ancestors and all who have died, an occasion to remember our indebtedness to all who have gone before us, to appreciate and thank those lives and to reaffirm the sanctity of all living things.

“In order to have this appreciation, we are called to the Obon gathering to dance, however embarrassed or however boastfully, so that in the meditation of dancing, we can momentarily forget the self. It is at this moment that we suddenly remember our indebtedness to others and truly dance joyfully — happiness is the ego getting its way, joy is being free of ego.

“Senshin has always begun the Obon dances with the Awa Odori, the Dance of Fools. Within the song is the famous line ‘Odoru aho ni miru aho. Onaji aho nara odoranya son son— A dancing fool and a watching fool, since they are both fools, what a waste not to dance.’

“To truly dance Bon Odori is to be truly connected. It must be done without a calculating mind, without a mind needing to always be in control. It is ‘just dancing’ in its purest form — without guile, without pretense, without embarrassment, without ego asserting itself in any direction. We invite you to connect with each other and all things living and dead in this Gathering of Joy.

“After the dancing, you are invited to oshoukouin the Hondou and light one or several of the 1,000 oil lamps in the courtyard made by Senshin member Mr. Leo Sugano. You are invited to light an oil lamp in memory of a loved one, one you are indebted to, friend and enemy alike. Following the lighting of the memorial lamps will be an otokiof cold noodles and a hourakupresentation by the Kinnara Taiko and others.”
