The Rinzai Zen Mission, located on the picturesque north shore of Maui in Paia, Hawaii, is a historic Rinzai Zen temple established in 1932 by Rev. Nanshin Okamoto, a Rinzai priest from Okinawa. As the only Rinzai Zen temple from the immigration era in the United States, it holds great significance and served as a spiritual center for the Okinawan community on Maui.
With its original temple building destroyed by fire in 1987, the Rinzai Zen Mission now stands as a modern temple on the beautiful Baldwin Beach. Offering a range of services and ceremonies, including daily morning services, ZEN meditation sessions, and monthly prayer rituals, the mission provides a serene and tranquil space for spiritual practice and reflection.
