The Peace Bell at the Byodo Temple
Kahoehe, Oahu, Hawaii
The sacred bell (bon-sho) at the Byodo-in Temple in Hawaii is sometimes
called a peace bell. The bell and the structure around
the bell are very similar to those at the original Byodo-in
Temple in Uji Japan. It is customery to ring the bell before entering
the temple, using a soft wooden log called a shu-moku. The
tone of the bell is intended to invoke an atmosphere of
deep calm and peace.
