Lawai International Center: A Place Remembered

Hawaiian elders have described Kaua`i as the crown of the archipelago. It is anchored to the south by a valley named Lawai, long known as a place of healing - a sanctuary in a changeable world. From the distant reaches of the island, the ancient Hawaiians traveled by foot to receive the healing benefits of Lawai Valley. They built a heiau there, and when the Asian immigrants followed, they, too, built their temples: a Taoist temple, a Shinto shrine, and a Shingon Buddhist temple. Today all that remain are the 88 Shingon shrines, a replica of the famous pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan. Take a journey to this sacred valley and discover the thread that unites the Hawaiians, the immigrants, and a community of modern citizens who have established the Lawai International Center. It will be a healing and cultural center for all the pilgrims of the world, a beacon of aloha when the world needs it most. As Hawaiian elder Pilahi Paki said, aloha will be "Hawaii's gift to the world in the new millennium." Narrated by Richard Chamberlain Directed and filmed by Juniroa Productions Inc.
