Welcome to Shinshu Kyokai
Shinshu Kyokai Mission of Hawaii was
founded on April 14, 1914 in Pawaa as a fledgling independent group of
Jodoshinshu faithful. Twenty-five founding members met at SeisukeYamashita’s
home in Liliha to form a charter and by-laws. They determined that their
group would be called ‘Shinshiyu Kiyokai.’ Its membership was comprised of
issei immigrants primarily from Hiroshima who were deeply devoted to the
life and teachings of Shinran Shonin who taught the life of “gratitude” and
“reverence” based on the Truth of Amida Buddha’s Primal Vows and Sacred
Name that is the basis of Universal Salvation for all sentient beings, not
only man.
