In April 1929 Taixu, the founder of Humanistic Buddhism (the largest type of socially active Buddhism, and the direct forerunner of Thich Nhat's Hanh's Engaged Buddhism), opened a branch of the International Buddhist Institute at Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin. Gathered leaders included Jodo Shinshu bishop Yemyo Imamura and Revs. Dorothy and Ernest Hunt.
