Members of the largest
Buddhist sect in Lahaina, the Hongwanji, have been meeting
here since 1910, when they erected a small temple and
language school. The present building dates from 1927.
Today the mission holds celebrations on New Year's
Eve to welcome the new year, in April to commemorate
the birth of Buddha, and during the last week of August
for the Bon Memorial celebration. The public is welcome
to attend.
