Universal Teachings For Everyday Living Page 3
After Rev. Gyomay Kubose passed away on March 29,
2000, the Kubose family was touched by what many people
wrote in their sympathy cards. The family compiled these
remembrances and tributes into a book for the occasion of
Rev. Gyomay Kubose’s First Year Memorial. This 230 page
book, “Remembering Sensei,” includes a biography and fam-
ily photographs of Rev. Gyomay Kubose as well as remi-
niscences from the 1989 publication, “Sensei.”
The book was mailed out by the family this spring as a
gift in appreciation for having received the many expres-
sions of sympathy. The family is concerned that their mailing
list was incomplete. It is also quite likely that a number of
undelivered copies were not returned to sender by the Post
Office; so the family does not know if all the copies sent out
were in fact delivered. The family wants to accommodate
everyone who would like a copy of the book. In addition,
more copies for relatives and friends are encouraged to re-
quest as many copies as they would like.
For all the above reasons, the Kubose family welcomes
the opportunity to make more copies of the book available.
The “Remembering Sensei” book was put together as a la-
bor of love by the family. They offer the book as an appre-
ciation gift to all.

Imagine our surprise upon opening a long box delivered in
the mail, to find a 3-foot high Ginko sapling. An accompa-
nying letter explained that this tree, sent by a company spe-
cializing in “memory” trees, was a gift from Lakeview Chapel
in memory of Rev. Gyomay M. Kubose. Lakeview Chapel
is a funeral home which handles many services for the Japa-
nese-American community in the Chicago area. Thank you
Lakeview Chapel for such a thoughtful gift.
The Ginko is an ancient species originating in China mil-
lions of years ago. The Ginko is a unique tree that is perfect
as a memorial tree. The Ginko sapling that we received has
been planted on the parkway in front of the Kubose Dharma
Legacy Headquarters at 8334 Harding Avenue. Planting
approval was gotten from the village of Skokie. The tree is
now listed in their inventory so they will take care of any
needed future trimming and care.
Although it will take a while for our Ginko to grow into
day and see the sapling happily growing in its new home.
mature tree with its size when first planted.
