The Wheel of Dharma notes the various Earth Day services that took place at Jodo Shinshu temples in the Buddhist Churches of America this year. 2025 marks the 10th year anniversary of the wider EcoSangha movement in the BCA. The print version has lots of extra photos!

Rev. Blayne Higa of Kona Hongwanji speaks out about anti-immigrant policies and attitudes:
"Our country is in crisis as the communal fabric of our society is being intentionally frayed by those in power...Real people, families and communities are being hurt by these unjust policies. The cruelty and malice being demonstrated are antithetical to the values I hold as a disciple of the Buddha."
