Lantern Floating Hawaii

I take really bad pictures at night, so I apologize for the quality, but I wanted to give you an idea of this event we went to last night.



From the website:

Lantern floating is an Asian spiritual tradition that beautifully symbolizes the wish for all beings to live in peaceful coexistence. As the lanterns are released onto the ocean they take with them our healing prayers for victims of conflict, famine, disaster and disease as well as our hopes for the happiness of all past and present.

Lantern Floating Hawaii is open to people of any religion, or no religion. It expresses a wish for all beings to value one another and cooperate in creating a better world. On May 25 over 2,000 candle-lit lanterns will be released onto the ocean. There will also be a chance for you to offer a personal remembrance or prayer for your departed loved ones by placing their names on a lantern.

(And don't worry, the lanterns are eco-friendly and are collected after the ceremony to be used the next year.)

There were so many people in attendance (I would think nearly the whole population of Honolulu) that we had trouble seeing (especially EEE), but I found it very beautiful.

Aloha
