Mahalo to all those who came out to the 2026 Hongwanji Spring Bazaar at Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin on Sunday, March 22. We sold out of just about everything we brought! Thank you to the Boy Scouts Troop 49 who helped us load and unload in the rain, and to the many volunteers who help make this event a success every year.
Still hungry for takuan or manju? They will be available at our 2026 Bon Dance in Kailua on July 11.
On Sunday, February 18, the Windward Buddhist Temple sangha attended a special service at Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin with guest speaker, George Takei. He delivered a powerful message of the importance of activism and what Buddhism means to him. After the service, both George and Brad graciously spent their time talking to everyone one-on-one, taking photos, and signing autographs.
Mahalo George and Brad for sharing your time with us!
