One-time Spotlight Interviewers Wanted

Help the Sangha get to know more about each other. We give you some starter questions, such as:

“My favorite festival food is wonton… each bite is amazing.” — Marion Nishimura

“OCBC is a Strong Sangha. We work together, collaborate together, and work things out when the going gets tough.” — Margie Mio

“The most significant moment for me during the last two years was the realization that I was getting better at applying one of our most basic teachings – that all things are impermanent. By worrying about the future, I was neglecting to live in the present.” — Stacy St. James

“My family and I attended Hanamatsuri in April 1997. After that one day, I knew in my heart that I had found a home that spiritually resonated with the needs of my family and myself.” — Linda Turner

“I think my 20-year-old self would be amazed that I became an OCBC member for almost 30 years. I did not grow up with any religious background, so I was a little nervous at first.” — Greg Goodman

Listen to Chris share his story on “The Dirtbag Diaries” Podcast.

“When I hiked the Kumano Kodo with my sons Austen and Grant, I thought I was giving them an experience of a lifetime. I soon realized that they were giving me a memory that I will cherish for the rest of my life.” — Chris Lock

I’ll never forget that when I was newer to OCBC, a friendly gentleman thanked me for asking questions and speaking up in Adult Study. I later found out that the friendly man was Jeff Folick….

I hope you will always feel as though you’ve returned home when you are here. Welcome to OCBC! — Jo Ann Taniokas
