Oregon Buddhist Temple

The Oregon Buddhist Women's Association (OBWA) will be selling its tasty fukujinzuke (a popular favorite!) at the Sukiyaki Fall Bazaar on Sunday, Oct. 25, 12pm-3pm.

Fukujinzuke is a Japanese pickle that is both savory and sweet. It is a popular condiment and often served with Japanese curry. Wikipedia says: ‘The name originates from the tale of the Seven Lucky Gods [Shichifukujin]. In homage to the name, some varieties of fukujinzuke consists of seven different kinds of vegetables.' The OBWA version includes: daikon/white radish), Chinese eggplant, Persian cucumber, renkon/lotus root, carrot, konbu/kelp, and sesame seed. It is flavored with red shiso/perilla and ginger.

The Fukujinzuke will be available on a first-come basis, along with other special offerings: inari sushi, zenzai (red bean soup with mochi), baked treats, and more!

Remember to preorder sukiyaki and cabbage tsukemono by Sunday, Oct. 11 since there will only be a limited amount of servings available for walk-ins.

During children’s Dharma message today, Rev. Vonn challenged Dharma school students to tie shoe laces together, using one hand each. And others made observations of what made it work.

You can check Rev. Vonn’s Dharma message for grown ups (regarding … spiders!) on our YouTube channel! 😊🙏

Thank you for joining the Fall Ohigan Special Service conducted by Rev. Vonn on Sunday!!! We also enjoyed ohagi treats made by some of OBWA members who gathered early in the morning. These ohagi were delivered to some of our home bound members.
