DZA Principle #10... Lokahi

DZA Principle # 8... Mahalo
In Hawai'i, Mahalo is tied to the 'aina (land/source) offering the most basic of thanks, to life itself. Mahalo for its food (ai), its fresh water (wai) , and for the air we breath (ha). A heart-felt sense of daily gratitude for the things most take for granted is part of the Aloha spirit. The spirit of Grace... Read More...

DZA Principle # 7... Pono
Pono is more than a belief that you are right. It is a knowledge that you are true. This means that you must transcend the thoughts and emotions of the moment and tap-in to an aspect of yourself that is immutable. An aspect that is both virtuous and timeless. Read More...
