JODO SHIN BUDDHISM
Jodo Shin Buddhism is a major branch of Buddhist teachings. Its practice is to acknowledge the compassionate heart of Amida Buddha through “hearing” the Dharma (Buddhist teachings). In awakening to true compassion directed to all beings equally, the Jodo Shin Buddhists express the joy of living in the teachings with others through the saying of “Namu-amida-butsu”.
SUSTAINING MEMBERSHIP (GOJIKAI)
Participation in temple activities is open to everyone. A person is officially recognized as a member of the Moiliili Hongwanji Mission by filling out a pledge card and paying the dues.
