The Omidyar Fellows program brings together diverse thought leaders willing to collaborate on solutions, and Hawaii’s future is bright with many hands working together for the greater good.” Lee and the other Fellows were selected based on their accomplishments and their motivation and ability to make transformative change happen in Hawaii.

Prior to joining Popeyes, he oversaw the opening of ChefZone as the division general manager for Y. Hata & Co., Limited, served as the regional director of operations for Pacific Links Hawaii, and was the director of restaurants at the Conrad Tokyo hotel and the W Hotel Seattle. Lee is highly active in the community and is a trustee of the Pacific Buddhist Academy, a board member for the Kapolei Chamber of Commerce and the Hawaii Restaurant Association, past president of the West Oahu Economic Development Association, and a co-founder of the Pacific Links Hawaii Foundation. He is a graduate of the University of Washington and ‘Iolani School. The Omidyar Fellows Cohort VI commences in October 2018 with 15 months of structured curriculum, which includes one full-day session each month; executive coaching; conversations with community, business and government leaders; and more.

The 5 R’s might help us to understand. Obon is a time of reverence, remembrance, reflection, realization and responding in gratitude. At Hongwanji, we gather to humbly pay reverence to All-Inclusive Wisdom and All-Embracing Compassion known as Amida Buddha or Namo Amida Butsu, The-Buddha’s-Name- That-Calls-Us (to entrust), as we remember and honor those who came before us especially our departed loved ones of family and friends. As we gather in remembrance, it is a time to reflect and come to some realizations which can change our life. One of the great messages of Obon is interdependence. Hatsuzo Ohsuga wrote, “For man to live is not simply a matter of having blood times with our parents and siblings, we are also linked to the rest of the world. All living things born into this world, not just people, but animals and plants, coexist as part of a greater life that they share.” His Eminence Gomonshu Emeritus Koshin Ohtani of Nishi Hongwanji encourages “Think more expansively of your connectedness to life.” “All things on earth, all things in the Universe, are in the fold of a great life- force linking us all together. In this world, there is no life that was ever lived in vain.
