WARNING !!!
Floating Lantern Hawai'i Participants Will Suffer Loss and Misfortune !!!
Shinnyo-en DOUBLES DOWN trampling on American heroes. The Japanese Buddhist Order continues their disrespectful agenda to diminish the memory of American heroes.
Hawai'i is a WOKE capital. Local population is 70% Asian. Asian population on mainland USA is 7%. Asians are good people. In Hawai'i however, Asians disrespect Americans, particularly White men. Japanese interests work to DIMINISH the memory of MEN & WOMEN who defeated Imperial Japan in WWII.
Japan attacked Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941; murdered 10,000s of Filipinos; committed genocide across the Pacific islands; and killed some 25 MILLION Chinese. White American Men did the heavy lifting to stop the violent aggression.
In the Pacific Theater of WWII, a total of 111,606 US military personnel were killed or went missing. Most were White males: 41,592 US Army ground troops, 23,160 US Marine Corps troops, 31,157 US Navy sailors, and 15,694 US Army Air Force personnel.
MAGA will not let our American Heroes be forgotten.
WARNING !!!
BOYCOTT Shinnyo-en Floating Lantern Hawai’i
Memorial Day Monday honors the UNSELFISH. Shinnyo-en encourages selfishness. Participants are now WARNED that their attendance disturbs the karmic forces of universal goodness, sacrifice, unselfishness and mindful behavior of others.
Those who attend and support Floating Lantern Hawai’i will suffer loss, misfortunate and bad luck in the upcoming year. Participants and those who support Floating Lantern Hawai’i are now “digging their own graves.”
Shinnyo-en does not respect fallen American heroes
We requested Japanese Buddhist Order Shinnyo-en politely, professionally, civilly, but firmly, to cease & desist hosting Floating Lantern Hawai’i on Memorial Day Monday for five years.
The deaths of our brave, valiant men and women in uniform who perished in pursuit of protecting, defending and ensuring our personal as well as collective safety and continuation of our freedoms MUST REMAIN EXALTED by civilians. Masako Ito defies the teachings of her father, Master Shinjo Ito.
UPDATE 2.27.25: Democrats did not respect fallen American heroes
Honoring civilians on Memorial Day is SELFISH ... yes, YOU love YOUR grandmother, grandfather, father, mother, brother, sister or lost relative. YOU! ME! Memorial Day Monday is when we honor THEM ... not us who are the living, and not our personal family. We honor those who were UNSELFISH.
U.S. President Harry S. Truman stated, “Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can NEVER be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.”
442nd Regimental Combat Team Removed
UPDATE: Page has been republished March 15, 2025 [visit]
The webpage detailing history of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the Nisei ‘Go For Broke’ unit, has been removed from the U.S. Army official website. The 442nd, combined with the 100th Infantry Battalion, remains the most decorated combat unit in history for its size and length of service. The World War II unit was made up mostly of second-generation Japanese-Americans.
The Army website had the history of the 442nd before President Trump’s executive order ending what he called "radical" DEI initiatives. [source]
The WRATH of MAGA MEN
Japanese Buddhist Order Shinnyo-en disrespected American heroes ... mostly White men who fought against Imperial Japan. Now MAGA MEN get revenge on WOKE and DEI policies in Hawai'i. We respect Nisei soldiers. All are heroes. Honor their service. Shinnyo-en however does not respect American heroes. The CURSE of Shinnyo-en has been fulfilled.
HARMONY and UNITY was DENIED
Hawaii’s Charitable Sector Urgently Needs Assistance: Perhaps the value that we need most of all at this moment in history is lōkahi — unity and harmony.
WE WARNED YOU !!! WOKE people refused to listen. You spit on White Men and USA. You did not believe in "unity and harmony." We begged for unity and harmony. WOKE Hawai'i is not harmonious. The CURSE of Shinnyo-en has been FULFILLED.
RESPECT was DENIED
UPDATE 2.28.25: We warned LOCALS in Hawai'i ... Go Woke, Go Broke !!! Democratic Officials DID NOT put Americans first. They allowed a Japanese Buddhist Order to trample on our national heroes. We put a CURSE on local people in May 2024.
You were warned. WOKE, DEI policies disrespected our nation and heroes ... MAGA now is a tidal wave over this incompetent, cruel society. KARMA is a cold witch in hell. You were warned !!!

RESPECT is OWED
Christians understand the respect owed to those who make the of ultimate sacrifice.
This is my commandment: that you love each other as I have loved you. There is no greater love than this — that a man should lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13
Shinnyo-en does not respect fallen American heroes
The Buddha likened a person who enjoyed wealth without sharing it with others to someone digging his own grave. The Buddha also compared the person who righteously earns wealth and gives it to the needy to a person with two eyes. The stingy person was compared to someone with only one eye.
Buddhism sees this desire to see others become happy as the highest, most noble aspect of the human heart. When we look after and care for others — that is, help others draw forth their life force — our own life force increases. When we help people expand their state of life, our state of life also expands.
Daisaku Ikeda, Buddhist teacher
The General Rule: Mindfulness
If you remember only one piece of etiquette, remember this: Be mindful. Take the extra moment to think about the people around you. This is what the essence of Japanese culture boils down to.
The philosophy of mindfulness in Japan can be traced back to Zen Buddhism, a spiritual discipline that heavily influences Japanese culture, art, and lifestyle. Zen Buddhism emerged in the 7th century and is characterized by its emphasis on meditation, intuition, and self-contemplation to gain enlightenment.
The side effects of mindful practice appear to be decreased suffering, increased happiness, increased control of your mind, and the capability of experiencing reality as it is without delusion.
The SIDE EFFECT of selfishness is INCREASED suffering, DECREASED happiness, DECREASED control of your mind, and the DIMINISHED capability of experiencing reality as it is without delusion.
You have been warned. Those who attend and support Floating Lantern Hawai’i on Memorial Day Monday disturb the karmic forces of universal goodness, sacrifice, unselfishness and mindful behavior of others. Those who attend and support Floating Lantern Hawai’i will suffer loss, misfortunate and bad luck in the upcoming year. Participants and those who support Floating Lantern Hawai’i are now “digging their own graves.”
We have asked ONLY and SIMPLY … host the heart-warming Floating Lantern Hawai’i on Sunday. Mentioning our military heroes is not sufficient. To be honorable, Shinnyo-en would need to float a lantern for EVERY one of the 53,000+ fallen heroes — men and women — who rest in honor at Punchbowl National Cemetery of the Pacific
Do not engage in SELFISH behavior. You are warned.
