Koyasan Beikoku Betsuin of L.A. is planning a summer festival in August to raise monies for the Temple Improvement Fund and to help cover operational costs. The festival is scheduled on Sunday, August 12th, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Date and times may change; so, please check the Temple’s website (www.koyasanbetsuin.org) or Facebook as the event draws closer.

In addition to food and entertainment, there will be a booth where omamori (amulets) and ofuda (talisman) will be available. The temple is looking for donations to the “White Elephant”; but “soft” items as books, clothes, covers, tablecloths, etc. will not be accepted for this sale. If you are interested in volunteering at this event, please contact the Temple (contact@koyasanbetsuin.org).
