Buddhism and Nature
Buddha-nature is none other than Tathagatha. This Tathagatha pervades
the countless worlds; it fills the hearts and minds of the ocean of all beings.
Thus plants, trees, and land all attain Buddhahood.
Shinran Shonin, “Notes on ‘Essentials of Faith Alone’,” CWS Vol. I, p. 461
Everything is 
Inter-connected
We are very fortunate to be able
to travel to many parts of the
world today and enjoy what nature and culture have to offer.
This is one of our greatest modern pastimes. In California,
whether it’s a short drive to San
Diego, Mammoth, Palm Springs, or even San
Francisco, we can enjoy such a variety of sensory experiences. Some of us think that we need
to leave home to enjoy these wonders, or perhaps it is just that we need to feel that we
“went” somewhere different to get away from the
mundane routine of work and home. If you were
a Huell Howser fan like me, you may recall that
he found hundreds of unique and fun places in
our own backyard that we ourselves failed to
notice. One auto commercial recently promoted
the Los Angeles area as a place where we could
enjoy activities in the snow, at the beach, or in
the desert all within the same day. What an
amazing place once you overlook the traffic,
crime, noise, and other typical big city issues.
The other day, my wife and I took our usual trip
to Ventura beach, where we enjoy taking our
dogs for exercise while feeling the crisp ocean
air and admiring the vast scenery. With the air
so clean and clear, the great Channel Islands
loom in front of us, so close and majestic. At
such times there are no words to describe the
sense of awe, and silence is the only appropriate
response. It then occurs to us that in comparison to the world we are constantly creating from
our self-centered perspectives, the natural and
real world makes us feel quite insignificant.

Viewing it upends our self-created notion of our
own importance and brings us down to earth.
The trappings of our everyday identities, embodied in complaints, frustrations, anxieties, and
to-do lists, are eradicated in an instant. They
become trivial when we look upon nature and
its billion years of history at work. How can we
believe that we understand such brilliance compared to our own trifling existence?
years ago that were ground away by constant
motion. They are a past we fail to recognize. I
had been so impressed with the sign that I felt
like bringing all the pebbles and things we collected back to the beach.
How do we connect to these miniscule elements
and to all natural living things that are so critically important to the survival of all of us? This
is why the above passage by Shinran Shonin,
who may never have walked on a beach like us,
is so important. He could not have known how
we enjoy California today, nor could he have
seen a satellite photo of the earth showing how
fragile our tiny planet looks from outer space.
Yet he knew that all living things were critically
valuable to the continuing growth and survival
of this planet. Like Shakyamuni Buddha, he
clearly saw the potential danger of human
greed, ego, and ignorance to the world with his
deep personal understanding of his own evil. He
realized that the only path to clearing the evil
within was enlightenment. Therefore, leaving
nothing to chance, he reconfirmed what was
originally articulated by Shakyamuni Buddha:
Thus plants, trees, and land all attain Buddhahood. Everything living on this earth is a potential Buddha.
So, we leave our daily chores to “get away” from
our dichotomous thinking and to give our
senses a breath of fresh air. It is one of our
therapeutic ways of balancing our work with
personal time. Of course, perhaps like you, we
don’t do enough of it so this day was particularly meaningful for us. As you can see in the
photo at left on page 1, our dog, Mookie, got a
special treat away from her confined life in the
city as well. Although she is a pointer mix that
should love to chase birds and jump in the
water, she is somewhat confused by it all. She
had never become acclimated to the ocean
because she was born a city dog. It is rather
strange for a dog such as ours not to jump in
the water, but like us, she is a creature of her
surroundings.
Living in a big city makes us appreciate that
nature is all around us but we rarely notice it
because of our confinement. I had a special
awakening a couple of years ago when Rev. Patti
and I were walking on the beach collecting
pretty pebbles and silver dollar shells. Along the
walkway near the pier you see in the photo
above, there was a marker, a sign that said
something like this: “Please do not remove even
one pebble from this beach. Each one is part of
this important ecology that helps keep the
beach living and keeps it from erosion.” Wow.
How profound it was that it resonated exactly
with the Buddhist understanding of the total
interconnection of all things on this earth.
Everything is alive just like us.
I believe the old sign on Ventura beach was replaced with the more detailed suggestion on the
post shown in the photo at right on page 1. One
description reads: “The Effects of Global Warming – Everything is Inter-connected.” There are
also actual details of the effect of rising water.
One description states, “Within 50 to 100 years,
with the potential of all ice caps melting, the
result will be a rise in water level of 30 feet
above what it is today.” The drawing actually
shows the water level covering Ventura pier and
the nearby buildings. You can imagine this in
the above photo behind Mookie. Everything in
the photo will be covered with the rising sea
level and there will be no beach left in Ventura
or on most of the California coastline. Where
will Mookie’s grandchildren play? They may
have to resort to concrete playgrounds and
never imagine, let alone feel, the crisp, natural
air she enjoyed on our walk.
This sign came to mind and I made an effort to
look for it, but it seemed to have been removed.
Still, I was made to truly realize that every piece
of rock, sand, and shell that somehow ended up
at this location continued to add to and protect
the environment, helping to keep the beach and
the coast stable, beautiful, and growing. These
sands and pebbles were large rocks millions of

Shinshu Corner
“The Buddhist Attitude Towards Nature”
Lily de Silva © 2005–2013
www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/desilva/attitude.html
Modern man in his search for pleasure and affluence has exploited nature without any moral
restraint to such an extent that nature has been
rendered almost incapable of sustaining healthy
life. Invaluable gifts of nature, such as air and
water, have been polluted with severely disastrous consequences. Man is now searching for
ways and means of overcoming the pollution
problem as his health too is alarmingly threatened. He also feels that it is irresponsible and
morally wrong on his part to commit the future
generations to a polluted planet. If man is to act
with a sense of responsibility to the natural
world, to his fellow human beings, and to unborn future generations, he has to find an appropriate environmental ethic today to prevent
further aggravation of the present pollution
problem. Hence, until this time his search for
wisdom and attitudes neglected areas of knowl
edge, namely, religion.
The words dhammata and niyama are used in
the Pali canon to mean “natural law or way.”
Nature as Dynamic
According to Buddhism changeability is one of
the perennial principles of nature. Everything
changes in nature and nothing remains static.
This concept is expressed by the Pali term
anicca. Everything formed is in a constant process of change (sabbe sankhara anicca). The
world is therefore defined as that which disintegrates (lujjati ti loko); the world is so called because it is dynamic and kinetic, it is constantly
in a process of undergoing change.
In nature there are no static and stable “things”;
there are only ever-changing, ever-moving
processes. Rain is a good example to illustrate
this point. Though we use a noun called “rain”
which appears to denote a “thing,” rain is nothing but the process of drops of water falling
from the skies. Apart from this process, the
activity of raining, there is no rain as such
which could be expressed by a seemingly static
nominal concept.
Buddhism strictly limits itself to the delineation
of a way of life designed to eradicate human suffering. The Buddha refused to answer questions
which did not directly or indirectly bear on the
central problem of human suffering and its ending. Furthermore, environmental pollution is a
problem of the modern age, unheard of and
unsuspected during the time of the Buddha.
Therefore it is difficult to find any specific discourse which deals with the topic we are interested in here. Nevertheless, as Buddhism is a
full-fledged philosophy of life reflecting all aspects of experience, it is possible to find enough
material in the Pali canon to delineate the Bud
dhist attitude towards nature.
The very elements of solidity (pathavi), liquidity
(apo), heat (tejo) and mobility (vayo), recognized
as the building material of nature, are all everchanging phenomena. Even the most solid
looking mountains and the very earth that
supports everything on it are not beyond this
inexorable law of change. One sutta explains
how the massive king of mountains—Mount
Sineru [Sumeru in Skt.], which is rooted in the
great ocean to a depth of 84,000 leagues and
which rises above sea level to another great
height of 84,000 leagues and which is a very
classical symbol of stability and steadfastness—
also gets destroyed by heat, without leaving
even ashes, with the appearance of multiple
suns. Thus change is the very essence of
nature.
The word “nature” means everything in the
world which is not organized and constructed
by man. The Pali equivalents which come
closest to “nature” are loka and yathabhuta. The
former is usually translated as “world” while the
latter literally means “things as they really are.”

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
In May let’s all not forget the following special
services: May 12 – Gotan-e (Shinran Shonin’s
Birthday) and Mother’s Day Service. We’ll be
visiting Oxnard on May 19 for their Gotan-e
Service and the California Strawberry Festival. If
you can’t make the Festival, make every effort to
attend service with Rev. Adams and the Oxnard
Sangha. And of course, Memorial Day Service
(May 27) at Woodlawn and Inglewood cemeteries.
Hello Everyone,
Here it is early April but I’m writing for the May
Bulletin. It was nice to see everyone April 7 at
Hanamatsuri service, and we look forward to
seeing you April 21 for the Eshinni, Kakushinni,
and Takeko Kujo service. We appreciate your
attendance at these two very important events
in April.
We will have held our first Obon meeting on
April 10. The next Obon meeting is June 11; if
you have any comments or concerns, be there
at the meeting to be heard.
Be Well and Be Safe,
Beverly Yahata

BWA NEWS
May 2013
by Connie Yahata
We’ve all heard of “March Madness.” Well, it wasn’t madness,
but March was busy (at least
on March 16 and 17) when
BWA gathered to prepare the
traditional Chirashi for our
Spring Ohigan service. A big
“thank you” goes out to the following ladies:
Mary Hahn, Shirley Ito, Hisako Kokado, Haru
Matsumune, Diane Ohkawahira, Kayo Ohkawahira, Jacqui Pierce, Yasuko Shohara, Kiyoka
Totani, Connie Yahata, and Gail Yamanaka.
Special “thank yous” to Nathan Ohkawahira for
helping Saturday and to the ladies who helped
both days. Although it was a lot of work, it was
well worth the effort, especially when you heard
how everyone thoroughly enjoyed the chirashi.
Chiyo Nitta, and Michiko Takata for their generous donations to BWA.
For those of you who are interested in statistics,
as of March 2013, BWA has 48 paid and 9 honorary members. All temples are facing the same
dilemma we are—how can we increase our BWA
membership? I wish there was a simple solution,
but unfortunately, one does not exist. Let’s
make it a personal goal to invite someone we
know to attend one of our services and listen to
the Dharma or one of our other temple activities.
It takes baby steps and the first step is always
the hardest.
Upcoming events
April 14: BWA meeting at 2:00 p.m.
May 5: BWA meeting at 11:00 a.m.
May 5: Matinee with BWA at 12:00 p.m.
(Movie - “Swing Girls”)
We would also like to thank Torako Akutagawa,
Thank you to Shirley Ito for the photos.

BUDDHIST MEN NEWS
3 I’s Scheduled for Omaha
Victor Naramura, chairman of the Temple Endowment Committee, continues to encourage
Buddhist Men members interested in advising
him to learn more about the investment world,
that is, “get smarter and wiser” or “go from ignorant to intelligent”. To that end, a group has
formed to attend the large shareholder meeting
of Berkshire-Hathaway on May 3, 4, and 5, at
the Century Link Arena in Omaha, Nebraska,
where the “Oracle of Omaha” reportedly be spinning his words of wisdom. After all, listening to
the second richest man in the world according
to Forbes Magazine might be the sprinkling of
wisdom. Victor says that all persons attending
will take care of their own expenses including
flight, lodging and rental car.
BCGA Cymbidium Orchid Show
A colorful array of cymbidium orchids adorned
the Temple Social Hall and Overhang area for
exhibit and sale along with a group of members
of the Bay Cities Gardeners’ Association (BCGA)
providing counsel for orchid enthusiasts. The
event was held on March 30 and 31, 2013.
The Buddhist Men thanks Hidemi Ohkawahira
for being the liaison to keep the Temple doors
open for the show.
