OM MANI PADME HUM

Dalai Lama visited Maui in 2007 and blessed this newly built peace stupa at Maui Dharma Center in the town of Paia. Buddhist flags encircle the centre and visitors are welcome to attend the morning meditation (at which time we are doing our own meditation on the yoga mat). Just being in the presence of the stupa is quite calming. You are meant to walk around the stupa clockwise three times to inspire peace and unity amongst all people.
