Description
The Byodo-In Temple in Oahu, Hawaii. This place was beautiful! It felt so peaceful and relaxing. I really like how the clouds cover the mountain tops!"The Byodo-In Temple situated at the Temples Memorial Park was established on June 7, 1968 to commemorate the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii. The Byodo-In was built entirely without the use of nails. It is a scale replica of a temple at Uji Japan that was constructed over 900 years ago. The Byodo-In is built to represent the mythical phoenix, its wings upheld by pillars of stone. Folklore tells of the phoenix arising from the ashes to reflect the promises of hope and renewal.
The Magnificent Byodo-In Temple translates 'Temple of equality - not to discriminate' and is home to Amida, a golden Buddha unique to the entire world".
