This Buddhist Temple, located off the main highway in Hanapepe, is an exotic but familiar site in Hawaii. When Japanese workers were brought to Hawaii to work in the sugar cane fields, they brought their Buddhist religion and many temples were built throughout the state.
The teachings of Zen extend back thousands of years and are based on human rights, peace and environmental conservation.
Statues and altar decorations are located both inside and outside of the temple and are very symbolic to the religion
