The Rinzai Zen Mission is pleased to invite you, your family, and friends to our Obon service and dance. Please come and experience the traditional dance styles of Okinawa, the only one of its kind on Maui. We look forward to seeing all of you as we share our live Okinawan music and performances as well as the delicacies offered by our community.

The Rinzai Zen Mission is located by the beautiful beach outside Paia on the north shore of Maui. It was established in 1932 by a Rinzai priest from Okinawa, Rev. Nanshin Okamoto. It is the only Rinzai Zen temple from the immigration era in the United States, and it was also a temple for the Okinawan community on Maui. After a few years Rev. Okamoto went on his mission to Honolulu and Los Angeles and established temples there, too.

Saturday, 8/18 - 7:00 p.m.; service: 6:00 p.m.
