Waipahu Hongwanji Mission belongs to the Jodo Shinshu sect of Buddhism. Jodo Shinshu, whose mother temple is located at Nishi Hongwanji in Kyoto, Japan, has been in Hawaii for over 120 years. Its teachings spread to Waipahu in 1901 when Honpa Hongwanji appointed Rev. Josho Yempuku to become Waipahu Hongwanji's first resident minister.
