In any other year, we would have gathered at Ala Moana Beach, inviting thousands to dedicate their lanterns for their loved ones.
Each person who takes part, whether in-person or virtually, is part of our Shinnyo Lantern Floating Hawaii ohana.
Without being able to gather on the beach with one another, our app offers a virtual platform for people to share experiences and thoughts from taking part in the event, past and present.
Those who take part in this years in-person experiences are invited to share comments and images with others.
Her Holiness Shinso Ito teaches that "Each of us is a shinnyo light.
If one person can make a difference, imagine what would happen when we all come together." Thank you for taking part in this years Shinnyo Lantern Floating Hawaii and sharing your light with us.
