Got up this Sunday morning at 6am to do my regular morning service and followed that at 7am with Ryusho Shonin‘s broadcast from Syracuse. Just me and a man from North Carolina today.

Then at 12:30pm I joined the first-ever broadcast service by the Nichiren Buddhist Sangha of the San Francisco Bay Area. The service was led by Mark Ryugan Herrick from his house (right) and followed by a lecture on the Vimalakirti Sutra by Michael Ryuei McCormick. While I enjoy taking Amtrak from Sacramento to Oakland to attend the Bay Area services, it was a treat to do this from home.

Unfortunately, the Sacramento Nichiren Buddhist Church doesn’t have the capacity to broadcast services. Perhaps I can do something about that.
