On Saturday, September 24th, I visited the Byodo-in Temple with my sister Holly.  We paid $3 each to enter the memorial park.  The structure is a non-denominational Buddhist temple and is located near the Ko’olau Mountains.  It’s amazing that it was built without nails.  You can read all about its history at their site.

Here are a few photos:

It was a peaceful stop on our way to the North Shore.  Thanks to my friend Shayna for suggesting it.
