With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
The Hawaiian Islands are a true melting pot: with no true ethnic majority, you will find countless different cultures and religions on display throughout the Aloha State — from stunning churches that look like works of art to hidden monasteries most people have never heard of. Of course, you will also find a variety of stunning Buddhist temples, including this stunning little mission in Paia that overlooks the ocean.
The Paia Mantokuji Soto Zen Mission is located at 253 Hana Hwy., Paia, HI 96779, and you can learn more about the mission and its history here. Have you ever heard of — or visited — this Buddhist temple in Hawaii? If so, share your experience and opinions in the comments below.
