While Hokoji is grounded in authentic practice, the temple walls are
expansive enough to encompass a breadth of conditions
and glimmering it allows everyone to step through.

Hokoji was founded and survives on generosity. Through the spiritual, material, and monetary contributions of those too many to mention here, the temple community quietly grows and nourishes. Your dana (donations) and volunteering time are welcomed and greatly appreciated.
