Shinran is safe! The outdoor statue of Shinran survived the wildfire at Lahaina Hongwanji Mission. Also, at Lahaina Jodo Mission, the main image of Amida Buddha was removed and escaped with the minister and his family as they evacuated! And since the bottom of the Jodo Mission pagoda wasn't completely destroyed, it is possible that the urns with members' ancestors' ashes survived.

Amazing update: the nokotsudo (columbarium) at Laihaina Hongwanji Mission survived the wildfire! The losses are still devastating and irreplaceable, but there’s joy in the survival of the community’s ancestral ashes. These are a crucial link of ongoing memory, care, and love for so many. Namo Amida Butsu 🙏

The Makawao Hongwanji Mission has created a GoFundMe for the Lahaina Hongwanji Mission (all buildings were destroyed and many members are homeless and/or their businesses were destroyed): https://www.gofundme.com/f/lahaina-hongwanji-recovery-fund

A terrible day. The fire killed dozens of people and destroyed Lahaina, including the Lahaina Hongwanji Mission (founded in 1904), Lahaina Jodo Mission (1912) and Lahaina Hokoji Shingon Mission (1902). The Shingon temple was the 1st outside Asia. The Jodo one had a rare 3-story pagoda and replica of the Kamakura Daibutsu. The Shin sangha has over 70 member families. Info on how to support them will be forthcoming.

#Pride flag at Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin in Honolulu. The Jodo Shinshu #Buddhist temple was established in 1899. It now sits on land granted to the temple by Native Hawaiian Buddhist Mary Foster in 1906. The temple is the headquarters of Hawaii's largest non-Christian denomination. They officially petitioned the legislature to support same-sex marriage in 2010 and hold regular #LGBTQ awareness and support workshops.
