“Live in Peace. Live in Aloha. Live as one in the Nembutsu,”

we are honored to present two dynamic speakers at this year’s convention. They will speak on two separate days with instant translations available.

District Panelists

As in previous World Conventions, five district panelists will be invited to share their personal messages centered around the theme on the final day. More information should be available soon after an initial June 30, 2026 submission deadline for panelist information.

Thanks to the post convention report, we will continue to enjoy their dharma talks, as well as from the Keynote Speakers, for many years.
