  2. Openness to all.
  3. Honoring those who came before us.
  4. Working hard and collaboratively.
  5. Sharing traditions and honoring the traditions of others.
  6. Nurturing the children.
  7. Honoring the kupuna.
  8. Following the Eightfold Path.
 
Our facilities, including the Temple, Social Hall and Dining Room, are tools to be used in sharing our legacy.

Our Commitments to the Community

  • ​Providing Senior Luncheons at the Mission to support the well-being, independence, and dignity of our seniors in an environment of their choice. NOTE: Senior luncheons have been temporarily suspended due to COVID-19.  Usually, these luncheons are held twice 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. Miyo Harumi of Miyo's Restaurant prepares the food for the Senior Luncheons at Hakalau Jodo Mission. (*Dana means selfless giving.)
  • Hosting Obon, our annual ritual to honor our ancestors and to celebrate the community. Usually, ​each August, the Jodo Mission comes alive with the celebration of Obon, a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the spirits of one's ancestor. This festival is complete with music, dancing, laughter and lots of food! Usually, dancing takes place on the lawn in front of the Temple. ​
