Historic Buddhist Temples Lost in Devastating Maui Wildfire

The 8 August wildfires in Lahaina, Maui, the second-largest Hawaiian island, resulted in the destruction of more than 1,700 buildings, including three significant Buddhist sites:

• the Lahaina Shingon Mission (Hokoji Temple)
• the Lahaina Hongwanji Mission
• the Lahaina Jodo Mission

Online fundraisers have been established for all three Buddhist organizations.
