Well, I am not much of a practictioner.  Lots of Jodo here that migrated with 
the Japanese who came to be plantation workers.  One sect has a Buddhist 
Study Centre adjacent to University of Hawaii at Manoa.  And some Korean 
Buddhism from a much more recent immigration.  And also lots of lost 
Californian haoles (foriegners to Hawaii) who aspire to being buddhist, and 
even the Diamondhead Sangha that Aitken founded.   But mostly it is the 
beaches,  and the turtles, who once in a kalpa surface in the center of a 
ring floating far out at sea . . .
