Описание: Nirvana Day Dharma Service for Sunday, February 15, 2026 with a Dharma Talk by Rev. Shingo Furusawa of Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin. This Jodo Shinshu Buddhist service was officiated by Rev. Furusawa.

Rev. Shingo shared a Dharma Talk titled, "Shakyamuni Buddha Taught Us How to Live Together in Peace and Harmony." He covers 4 topics.

1. The life of Shakyamuni Buddha
2. The Buddha's teaching of interconnection
3. What happens when we forget that connection?

Nirvana Day marks the anniversary of the passing away of the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, into Nirvana (perfect peace).
