Huaka'i to Aiea - August 16, 2024

Informational tour to Aiea. Sponsored by the Honpa Honwanji Hawaii Betsuin, got on a School bus (larger buses would'nt fit on the Aiea Heights Road) rented by the Honwanji and travelled out to Aiea.

PURPOSE OF THE HUAKA'I
It has long been recognized that Buddhism and Hawaiian spirituality have a lot in common. Both reference interrelationship, impermanence, community/family and sense of place,`aina and natural process, aloha and compassion as essential concepts and values.

This event, along with the Mary Mikahala Foster Concert and the Queen Lili‘uokalani Ho‘oku‘ikahi Reconciliation Service (the interfaith commemoration of the overthrow of Queen Lili‘uokalani), are part of a movement to restore the legacy of Mary Mikahala Foster and forge closer relations between Honpa Hongwanji and the Hawaiian Community.
