ABOUT TALK STORY

“Talk Story” is a unique local cultural experience in which people share their life experiences and develop relationships that build and strengthen communities. At Hawaii Betsuin, we invite special Dharma teachers to lead a dialogue that enhances our awareness, understanding and experience of the embrace of wisdom and compassion. And this event is a special opportunity to meet and share some time with this guest Dharma teacher.

Vehicle access to the temple grounds is from Lusitana Street, not Pali Highway. The Annex Temple is the more modern building on the makai (ocean) side of the campus. The Talk Story will be on the main (upper) level. From the back lot on the Lusitana Street side of the temple, no stairs are required to access the temple.
