Walked in the door the greeter didn't even say hi to me it just started talking to the person behind me. No one came up or greeted me or my son. Everyone was talking to each other and basically ignored us even after finding a spot. Music started and was really loud so we just left. No one said anything to us leaving. Very self absorbed congregation.

We were welcomed immediately and introduced to many people right away, and they made me a coffee. The music was contemporary style and upbeat/thoughtful. The pastor was lively and entertaining, I wanted to know more about the sermon and the story after it was done! We showed up on a day when they happened to be having a newcomers lunch, and we decided to get out of our comfort zone and join. I'm glad we did! My boyfriend said it was the best 1st experience in a church he's ever had, I agree. Both of us felt welcomed and like we've found a new place to go when we need some spiritual uplifting.

I went to the 2025 Summer Bon Odori Buddhist Festival here. I have not danced here in several years…read moreor before Cvid. I moved to S. Seattle area, so it's closer to drive out now. They use the same dances and music as the Seattle Bon Odori at the Betsuin Buddhist Church. A volunteer let me change into my kimono in the No Access Area where the restrooms by the Hodo alter area was. It's a large handicap restroom that I used before. So it was helpful. At the Seattle Buddhist Church there was no public restrooms to change. They close them up and have sanicans ionly. I changed at a hotel after I went to a fest. At Seattle Center before going to Seattle's Obon. I bought and found some Kimono underwear gear that I could not find in Little Tokyo in LA. I also found small tabis that fot me at size 4.5. So that was only $3 each and found two luckily. I thought I needed more larger size Tabi. Today my left foot was swollen with a sprained ankle. So some of my other tabis did not fit. I wore a brace and only dance "Tanko Bushi," the Coal Miner's Dance. They do this standard dance all over other Obons all over the US and in Tokyo. I was lucky they had left over Teriyaki Chicken bowl and Tsukemono half price. Retail for chicken was $12 , Unagi was $15. It was not as cheap when they sold them 10 yrs ago. Somen was $4. They did not have regular soda. Just flavored water and water. There was a Beer Garden too but no entertainment there since it off to the side of the church and not in a quieter area. There were a few African Amer. In the audience and other non Japanese Nikkei there too. They drew people from other parts of Tacoma, And other areas besides from the Seattle Obon. After 8pm they had a short Obon Memorial Service for deceased members and for anyone who bought a candle for $10. There were floating lanterns and other nice paper lanterns in their small Jp Gardens. Even in Idaho, there is a Bon Odori, Chicago, LA, SF, Sacramento, Vegas, Vancouver BC,. Hilo, Honolulu, Portland, OR. You can probably find where ever there is a Japanese Community like in Brasil and Peru. The Bon Odorii in the Phillippines is more of a stage show sponsored by Jp Corp. , Jp Gov. and they get many locals selling food. I saw it on You Tube.

Each time we are here we are delighted by the helpful staff and the range of both handmade and well curated goodies. If you also are a fan of Japanese sweets, during these events they offer treats like daifuku and manju that is so fresh and chewy! A lot of street parking in the area but be weary, a lot of them are on hilly areas by the UW Tacoma campus! Also, if you can bring cash - some of the items sold at these events are cash only!

I love it when it is quiet as I like to meditate in quiet and pray. I do sit in the quiet to just adore the beauty and speak to the Lord in the church. It is relaxing for me. This is the church we selected for my Mother's funeral mass. They did a beautiful job from mass to the burial site. Father Wichert was the Priest at the time (Dec 2017). Now, there is a new Priest.

This church is beautifully built, I love to drive by and see the beautiful stained glass. The liturgical abuse is minimal for a New Mass parish, but you'll still see sloppily clad alter servers, and Eucharistic ministers wearing jeans and sneakers. As if they were doing their grocery shopping instead of worshipping Our Lord. Oh and they hold hands during the Our Father. Why do all Novus Ordo parishes do this?!
