For a National Cultural Holiday in Japan — my host Shiro Tanaka wrote and acted in a comic skit performed at a Buddhist English language festival.

The short play was intended to make a Buddhist parable more memorable by being FUNNY. It worked. Especially when Shiro mixed up the order of his lines.

Hosted by the International Buddhist Congregation, part of Rissho Kosei-kai. IBC offers an English language service every Sunday.

We stayed at the excellent adjacent Pilgrimage Hall at no cost.

Thanks Shiro and IBC for inviting me.
