The Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin is a significant religious and cultural institution located in Honolulu, Hawaii. As part of the larger Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii, it serves as a central hub for Shin Buddhism, a school of Mahayana Buddhism. The Betsuin, or 'mother temple,' plays a vital role in preserving and promoting Buddhist teachings, values, and practices within the Hawaiian community.

Established in 1889, the Hawaii Betsuin has a rich history deeply intertwined with the Japanese immigrant experience in Hawaii. Over the years, it has evolved into a dynamic center that not only caters to the spiritual needs of its members but also engages in various community outreach programs, cultural events, and educational initiatives. From offering meditation sessions and Dharma talks to organizing festivals and art exhibitions, the Betsuin fosters a sense of belonging and connection among its members and the broader community.

With its iconic architecture, serene gardens, and ornate interior adorned with traditional Buddhist artwork, the Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin provides a tranquil sanctuary for reflection and contemplation amidst the bustling urban landscape of Honolulu. Beyond its physical presence, the Betsuin serves as a symbol of peace, compassion, and inclusivity, welcoming individuals from all walks of life to explore the teachings of Shin Buddhism and find solace in its timeless wisdom. As a cornerstone of Buddhist faith and culture in Hawaii, the Betsuin continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the spiritual and social fabric of the islands.
