Enjoyed attending the celebration of the Parinirvana of Nichiren at the Buffalo Ro-O Zan Enkyoji Nichiren Buddhist Temple. I’ve been in Rochester, New York, for a week helping my brother-in-law move and took the opportunity to visit Kanjin Cederman’s temple in North Tonawanda, New York, in the suburbs of Buffalo. The temple occupies a portion of the Masonic Sutherland Lodge. Cederman and his family have been masons for generations and he was able to secure the space in a corner of the lodge complex as a temporary home for his Buffalo Ro-O Zan Enkyoji Nichiren Buddhist Temple.
