Invitation to the 162nd London Eza
It is with the greatest pleasure that I write once again to invite you to the 162nd London Eza, to be held at Three Wheels from 1:00 p.m. on Sunday 26th February 2023.
A lot of people are now much more relaxed about the risks posed by the spread of the Coronavirus, however others are still very worried about the situation. Given these concerns and now that we can use Zoom which makes it possible for Dharma friends to join us from far away, we have decided as before to hold our forthcoming London Eza in hybrid form. If you can visit Three Wheels in person you are, as always, very much welcome to join us and enjoy meeting one another face to face.
I am very happy to be able see lively spiritual exchange restarting between Japanese and British Dharma friends. Recently we have had several Japanese Dharma friends come to spend time with us, such as Mr & Mrs Kenji Toda, Mr Isao Takizawa and Reverend Yuichi Kuniyoshi, a young student who is expected to stay as Three Wheels for fifty days. Professor John White, together with Hiroko, must be very pleased to see their joyous encounter with British Dharma friends.
At this Eza, Reverend Kenshin Ishii will give a talk entitled “Awakening to the reality of Interdependent Origination” and speak about the Shin Buddhist way of living filled with gratitude.
Two young female students and residents at Three Wheels, Miss Hitoe Ishii and Miss Aya Watanabe, who underwent their introspection session at Shogyoji Temple in the summer and winter respectively are looking forward to sharing their wonderful spiritual experiences with you at the meeting.
As a representative of the Three Wheels Sangha, which has been holding for the last twenty-six years annual ceremonies to pray for world peace and reconciliation between British and Japanese people who fought in Burma, I was invited to a reception held at Buckingham Palace and had an unexpected encounter and conversation with His Majesty King Charles III on 1st February. I will make a report on this wonderful experience on the day.
I am greatly looking forward to seeing you either in person or online at Three Wheels on 26th February.
Yours sincerely
Kemmyo Taira Sato
