Thanks to Engaged Jodo Shinshu Buddhism on Twitter, I just learned of this interesting chapter in engaged Hawain Buddhism–involving an indigenous woman, meeting with Anagarika Dharmapala, Bo tree, establishment of Japanese Buddhism in Hawaii, support of Mahabodhi Society, and Land Back! Read more in these short wikis (1, 2), and in the book by Patricia Lee Masters, Searching for Mary Foster: A Nineteenth-Century Native Hawaiian Buddhist, Philanthropist, and Social Activist (2017, American Buddhist Study Center).
