Support Palolo Hongwanji

For over a century, Palolo Hongwanji has served as a place of faith, community, learning, and compassion for people throughout Hawaiʻi. Rooted in the teachings of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, our temple provides opportunities for spiritual growth, meaningful connections, and service to others. We welcome individuals and families from all backgrounds to join us in cultivating gratitude, kindness, and understanding in our daily lives.

Palolo Hongwanji is more than a place of worship. It is a gathering place where families celebrate milestones, honor loved ones, and come together during times of joy and sorrow. Through weekly services, Dharma discussions, memorial services, weddings, educational programs, cultural activities, community events, and youth programs, we strive to create a welcoming environment where all may find support, friendship, and a sense of belonging.

As a non-profit organization, the continued care of our temple and facilities depends upon the generosity of our members, friends, and supporters. Donations help us maintain our historic buildings and grounds, preserve our traditions, support religious and community programs, and ensure that future generations may continue to benefit from the temple’s presence in our community.

Your contribution supports many important aspects of temple life, including:

• The maintenance and preservation of our temple, chapel, classrooms, and grounds

• Weekly Buddhist services and special observances

• Memorial services and pastoral care for families

• Cultural and educational programs for children and adults

• Community events and outreach activities

• Improvements that keep our facilities safe, accessible, and welcoming

Every gift, regardless of size, makes a meaningful difference. Through your generosity, Palolo Hongwanji can continue to be a place where people gather to learn, reflect, celebrate, and support one another. Your donation is not simply a financial contribution—it is an investment in the future of our temple community and the values we seek to share with the world.

We are deeply grateful for the kindness and support we have received throughout the years. The continued strength of Palolo Hongwanji is a reflection of the many individuals and families who have generously given their time, talents, and resources to help sustain this temple and its mission.

Thank you for considering a donation and for helping us continue our work of sharing the Dharma, serving our community, and preserving this special place for generations to come.

With gratitude, the Palolo Hongwanji Community
