Buddhist On Saipan: July 2015

Thank you for your donations!

Nearly 60,000 soldiers died or were wounded during WWII. Many thousands of Japanese soldiers died in the battle for Saipan, and countless islanders from the Carolines, Okinawa and other islands did as well. Many US Soldiers died here as well, including the entire first wave of US Marines who came ashore not far from her center. Saipan turns out to be one of the hardest fought battles in all of World War II - a lot of prayers for a lot of souls who passed away here.

Part of the Zen temple's daily activity is to pray for the souls of those departed. And many visitors stop on their way to or from the Banzai cliffs that are nearby, and Buddhist monk Sunim would like to be able to serve them some food during their stops.

Can you help? If you would like to make a donation, please do so. Thank you for stopping by!
