Shinran Shonin’s Memorial Day (Hoonko) & M. L. King Jr. Day (HQ closed for holiday)
As the most important Jodo Shinshu observance, this is the date chosen to commemorate Shinran Shonin’s passing. Practicers have a chance to “hear the light” through listening to sermons, talks, ritual, and sangha fellowship at services and other observances on or near this date. photo: Shinran Shonin statue at Hawaii...
