Byodo-In Temple


This place is so peaceful. It is a replica of a Japanese Temple built 950 years ago. This one was built to commemorate the first Japanese immigrants in Hawaii. They say the entire thing was built without nails...maybe they didn't count the walkways because they were full of nails. You can enlarge these pictures by clicking on them.


No visit is complete with the ringing of the gong. The boys snuck in a few extra head ringing swings.

This guy sits on top of the gong. This place is full of cool carvings.



Finding their inner peace...do you see it? Well it didn't last long.







The boys bought some fish food and the water was boiling with fish. A couple of swans and a turtle joined in too.
