This rare event is being held in the Hall of Compassion, a hand-carved structure true to 13th-century architecture built with the hands and hearts of masters from Asia and volunteers from Kauai.
The soothing sounds of the shakuhachi (ancient Japanese flute) by Kyle Chew open each session.
The Lawai International Center is a nonprofit, nondenominational community project driven by its volunteers whose earnest efforts are bringing the valley back to prominence as an international center of compassion, education and cultural understanding for all people.
