Nonviolence in Hawaii's Spiritual Traditions

These essays were first presented as brief talks given in Kuykendall Auditorium on the campus of the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa on January 11, 1990. They were offered as contributions of the Center for Global Nonviolence Planning Project to celebrate the Hawai‘i State Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday n cooperation with the King Holiday Commission chaired by Dr. Donnis Thompson. We are privileged to be able to present these insights into nonviolence in Hawai‘i’s spiritual traditions and are deeply grateful to the authors for sharing them. We recognize, as does each of them, that interpretations can vary within each tradition. Therefore none of them claims to speak for all adherents of their faith. Each voice is an authentic one and merits most thoughtful reception
