mu ryang sa hawaii buddhist temple

mu ryang sa is a korean buddhist temple tucked back in the hills of palolo valley, about 10 minutes outside waikiki. i parked the jeep in the shade and began to walk up to the temple where i immediately felt like i should kick off my flops and  let my feet enjoy the soft and  manicured green grass. i was all alone here except for one old asian dude who looked like he would probably sell me a gremlin. "ana-say-oh!" i said (korean for hey, howsit goin?) realizing that was the only korean i knew he pointed me in the direction of some cool stuff in english. its all aloha here!
