The following slides were prepared for a 2027 World Buddhist Women’s Convention introductory video shared by a Hawaii member at a BWA meeting in California. Until a workshop listing with descriptions is available, this slide show will give a flavor for what’s planned.
Introducing the 18th World Buddhist Women's Convention in Honolulu, HI, September 11-12, 2027
In the warmth and beauty of the islands, you'll have the opportunity to reflect about aloha and peace while living one with the Nembutsu; Hawaii Dharma practice with aloha is truly paradise.
Hawaiian culture and history are embedded in living the dharma every day. A variety of convention activities and information will be shared demonstrating aloha influencing daily life. This includes fashion, food, mele related arts and crafts and more!
Learn the influence Hawaiʻi’s youth had in establishing Peace initiatives throughout the Jodo Shinshu sanghas and the Hawaiʻi community. These activities and actions continue to be ongoing and impactful.
As you enjoy the convention, you'll find opportunities and experiences of life with the Nembutsu. We hope you'll take these moments with you and continue to “live peace, live aloha, and live as one in the Nembutsu” wherever you are. Namo Amida Butsu
