About Kaneohe Higashi Hongwanji Mission
Kaneohe Higashi Hongwanji Mission is a Shin Buddhist temple established in 1924 to serve the Kaneohe community and surrounding areas of Oahu and beyond. The temple welcomes all visitors seeking to explore Shin Buddhism and its teachings on living meaningfully in the present moment. With a century of history, the temple hosts regular Sunday services, Dharma gatherings led by Reverend CharlAnn Nakamoto, and numerous community activities including bon dances, calligraphy classes, rummage sales, and memorial services. The temple explicitly emphasizes being a welcoming place where visitors need not be Buddhist to feel welcome, fostering fellowship and spiritual growth through discussion sessions, lay-led facilitation, and guest speakers. Services include incense, chanting, and both traditional and contemporary programming that connects Buddhist teachings to daily life.
