Hosting O-BON each August:
The Jodo Mission comes alive with the celebration of Obon, a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the spirits of one's ancestors. This festival is complete with music, dancing, laughter and lots of food! Usually, dancing takes place on the lawn in front of the Temple. |
Sponsoring the MEMORIAL DAY
observance: at the Hakalau Veteran's Park to show respect to both those who were killed in military conflict and to those who served, and to celebrate our community. |
Offering a variety of CLASSES: Currently there are art, yoga, tai chi, and bon dance classes for adults, and karate classes for children. Details are available at Upcoming Events.

Providing Senior Luncheons at the Mission to support the well-being, independence, and dignity of our seniors in an environment of their choice:
These luncheons are held once a month and feature great food, music, exercise, companionship, and lots of laughter. This is a Project Dana* Program supported by the Wailea Village Historic Preservation Community. (*Dana means selfless giving.) |
