Description
The nine foot golden buddha statue, Amida Buddha, sitting on a golden lotus, is located in the Byodo-In Temple in Kahaluu, Hawaii, near Kaneohe on the east side of Oahu.
Flowers, candles and incense are offered during meditation.
This is one of the most visited sites on the East side. The temple and gardens are a place of great peace, not just among the Japanese culture and people, but all tourists and visitors. Swans, peacocks and other birds grace the grounds, as well as statues. The landscaping, with its creek, pond and waterfalls, is beautiful. The grounds have a backdrop of the back side of the Koolau Mountain range.
A stunning image of the entire temple structure is also among those in my Hawaii and Pacific Rim Culture gallery.
