Dear our Mililani Hongwanji community,

Since the start of our temple in 1977, Mililani Hongwanji has been has been guided by the teachings of Shin Buddhism, an everyday practice that promotes happiness and well being through gratitude and compassion. These teachings have helped us create a place where everyone and anyone can come to learn, connect, and grow.

 As we reflect on how our temple is able to be here today, we would like to express our gratitude for all those who have made it possible. From the Japanese immigrants who brought Shin Buddhism to Hawaii 100+ years ago, to our family and friends from far and wide that provided support as we founded our temple, to the many volunteers and attendees of our bon dance, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We gratefully announce that because of your support over nearly 50 years, we will be celebrating our 50th anniversary in 2027. Please stay tuned for more info. 

In Gassho (with palms together in gratitude), Mililani Hongwanji
