As the waters of the Pacific merge with each ocean to touch the shores of every continent around the globe, prayers and wishes for peace and the happiness of all are sent out from Hawai`i. Every year on Memorial Day thousands of people gather at Ala Moana Beach to honor and pray for those who sacrificed their lives in war, for loved ones who have passed away and to aim for a harmonious and peaceful future.

Even amidst the crowd, people commonly describe experiencing a very personal and private moment of warm connection with loved ones. It is an experience that somehow transcends any human division of culture or belief. In that moment, there is only peace, harmony, understanding, compassion and warmth without any boundaries of race, religion or lifestyle. “It’s not a Hawaiian thing or a Japanese thing. It’s not a Buddhist thing. It’s a ‘Human Thing’.”
