Event Details
Shinnyo Lantern Floating Hawaiʻi is an annual ceremony at Ala Moana Beach in Honolulu, that’s a deeply significant Buddhist tradition. Candle-lit lanterns are floated in the water, each one representing a profound sense of gratitude and a heartfelt prayer unique to everyone who participates. The hour-long ceremony, broadcast live across the Hawaiian Islands and Japan on Memorial Day, was produced by Shinnyo-en, an international Buddhist community. Designer Hideaki Tsutsui, who handled the production and lighting design, has been working on this ceremony since 2007.
