Zee first?
Hawaii Shingon Mission at 915 Sheridan Street in Honolulu, Hawaii, is one of the most elaborate displays of Japanese Buddhist temple architecture in Hawaiʻi. It was first built in 1917-18 by Nakagawa Katsutaro, a master builder of Japanese-style temples, then renovated in 1929 by Hego Fuchino, a self-taught man who was the first person of Japanese ancestry to become a licensed architect in the Islands. The building underwent further changes in 1978, and was considerably augmented in 1992. However, its most distinctive features remain: the steep, hipped-gable roof (irimoya) with rounded-gable projection, both with elaborate carvings on the ends, and the glittering altar and interior furnishings from Japan that signify its ties to esoteric Shingon Buddhism, headquartered at Mount Kōya. The temple was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 26 April 2002, on the 100th anniversary of the construction of a new teaching hall for Shingon Buddhism in Lahaina, Maui.
The round tomoe at the top of the entrance roof represents the cycle of life, the carved phoenix represents death and rebirth, and the carved dragons represent both power and good fortune. The obelisk at the front edge of the property commemorates the first Shingon pilgrimage to Japan by immigrants in Hawaii in 1929. The more recently added statue in front depicts Kōbō Daishi (Kūkai, 774-835 CE), the founder of Shingon. An oil painting of the Daishi by a member of the local congregation also graces the altar inside the temple.
The Sheridan Street temple was once the leader among 15 Hawaiʻi congregations of Shingon. But, after the average age of its parishioners began to approach 80, longtime church director Reyn Tsuru began an outreach program to bring in new members. In 2004, the congregation agreed to sever ties with Kongōbuji, Shingon’s home temple on Koyasan, after becoming dissatisfied with the sect’s hierarchical structure and its Japanese priests unfamiliar with local ways. By 2008, Tsuru became the official minister as well as church director, and the average age of the parishioners had dropped to 45. In 2009, the temple added a worship service in English, and planned on a slow transition to primarily English services.
You are so prompt!!
what kind of loser ‘firsts’ a picture at 4 IN THE MORNING?!!
(i can understand maybe 8 or 9, but 4 a.m.?)
It was round about mid-day in Europe, and 4pm in Australia.
sorry ‘burnt’. X(
Putting “first” without any actual comment is lame 24/7, so it doesn’t matter what time or time zone it came from.
anti hair falling shampoo? thene the label guy needs more…
You are right. If this is anti hair falling shampoo, clearly that guy is not using it. Or maybe he IS using it and wants to show you that it doesn’t work.
By the way you forgot the letters pan before your thene.
I nearly read this as “anti-FAILing shampoo”. That would just ruin all the fun it it worked!
But imagine all the WIN! oO
I will now jump over 20 lorrys… Riding my cat!
Meowth might object on general principles.
Allright… I will now jump over 20 lorrys… On the back of JohnB!
JohnB’s wife might object on general principles aswell.
Jump over on my back! I’ve always wanted to jump over 20 lorries! And I’m ALMOST a cat… And my nickname has a ‘b’ in it…
And, best of all, no-one will object on general principles!
…Time for a celebration! Cheese for everyone!
More so if they were Lauries instead of lorries.
How about lorikeets?
or parakeets?
African or European?
That’s swallows you’re thinking of…
It was the coconuts that confused me.
Don’t go koo-koo for coconuts.
So, BAWANG is the noise you will make if you don’t use this product?
thats my new catch phrase!
up, up and ABAWANG!!!!!!
*flies off roof*
*crashes into dumpster below*
I would think an anti-dropping shampoo would find a ready market.
This is obviously for persons who suffer occasional dizziness or klutziness and fall down. Clearly they are safer after using this shampoo. Does it work on toddlers? Do both feet have to be on the ground or would it work for construction workers who might fall off of buildings? What about bicyclists?
Does this make your hair stick to the ceiling so you can’t fall down?
If I ever do nursing home consultations again, I’m going to bring in cases and cases of this stuff! Just think how many broken hips this stuff could prevent.
Clearly, a miracle product. No wonder they’ve been in business since 1928.
And after 81 years in the business, the guy in the picture looks remarkably young.
So then it must be anti-falling and anti-aging. You should definitely take this product to the nursing homes. Run don’t walk.
but if you slip do it carefully
th eguy in the picture needs some hair.
Is this supposed to make your hair stand up on end, so it’s like mohawk or flattop maintenance shampoo?
There’s a bottle of this in the bathroom where I live. I live in Singapore and share the place with some Chinese. LOL. I never even noticed the Engrish on it.
You’ve got it bad, dude!
BAWANG is the sound your head makes when it hits the faucet when you fall in the shower.
Actually, BAWANG is a contraction for Big Ass Wang.
For real, bawang translates to garlic/oninon!!! (malaysian and indonesian)
The pictured bottle probably is from Singapore.
Onion/ garlic scented shampoo? Why didn’t I think of that! Another opportunity missed.
I always wanted to have my hair smelling like onion and garlic. I am off to googling where I can purchase this shampoo.
Careful, that sort of thing may put hair on you chest.
Bonus.
I have always wanted bacon-flavored chewing gum.
You know, there IS such thing as bacon-flavored chewing gum. If you are serious about it, you can find out where you can get some.
I don’t know if it’s a good idea to…never mind what do I care.
I just realized that I forgot to change my name back! Whups…
We all do that from time to time if we change identities. I think there was one day I did it about eight times. When you’ve got three or four lively threads going, things can get a bit confusing.
Exactly my point!
>.<
Makes your hair soft and silky, and repels vampires.
I’d really like Edward cullen resistant hair !!!!!!(stupid twipires!)
*giggle giggle* “twipires” *giggle giggle* I’m going to steal that word!
I’ve seen some crazy claims and promises on personal care products, but this takes the cake. I’d love to see someone put this claim to the test. That would be a funny lawsuit trial to go to.
“But your honor, Bawang IS responsible for my fractured skull! They claimed right on the bottle that it was ‘Anti-falling’. I used the shampoo exactly as the directions said. I even repeated until half the bottle was used up, and I still slipped and fell in my shower.”
Never fall again!
