Kapu Aloha is a multidimensional concept/practice inspired by our kupuna. It
places a discipline of compassion on all to express aloha for those involved,
especially those who are perceived to be polemic to our cause. A Kapu Aloha helps
us intentionalize our thoughts, words and deeds. It honors the energy and life found
in aloha and helps us focus on its ultimate purpose and meaning.
Ahimsa is a multidimensional concept, inspired by the premise that all living beings
have the spark of the divine spiritual energy; therefore, to hurt another being is to
hurt oneself.
