Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai held the 10th Photo Contest of A Wise Saying A Day Calendar last year under the auspices of the judges, Mr. Kenji Ishiguro, Mr. Yasushi Sugimata, Mr. Masanori Marubayashi, and Ms. Michiko Kaneko. The 32 winning photos will be exhibited with sayings from Buddhist sutras or the founders of various Japanese Buddhist denominations.
We will use these photos in 2025 calendar and in an exhibition to honor the winners and to create an opportunity for people to learn about the spirit of Buddhism.
On June 28th, 2024, at 10:00 AM and at 2:00 PM, the ceremony will be held at the exhibition space. Mr. Mohri Suzuki, a calligrapher who wrote the sayings for the calendar, will conduct a calligraphy performance and will inscribe your favorite phrases as well.

Meditation - Calming the Mind -
Buddha has always existed in the world.
A single torch can light a hundred thousand others.
Let our minds and bodies be flexible.
Existing today does not mean we will exist tomorrow.
It is difficult to be born a human being and even more difficult to hear the Buddha’s teaching.
There is no night without a morning.
