About Us

We are a family-friendly Buddhist temple that follows Shin Buddhism (or Jodo Shinshu Buddhism). Shin Buddhism promotes happiness and well being by incorporating gratitude into everyday life for everyday people.

Through our core values of gratitude, community., and compassion, we offer 120+ activities, programs, and events to help all who visit our temple learn, connect, and grow. 

The Mililani Hongwanji Buddhist Temple was established in 1977. It is under the Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii, and practices the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha (Nishi Hongwanji) sub sect of Buddhism.
