We were parking our car next to the Peruvian Restaurant there that has really great food by the way. We ate there with friends about 1 1/2 years ago and were really glad it was still there this time too. As we paid online for parking, I looked next door and was surprised to see a Tibetan Stupa and knew i had to go visit it after I ate dinner after flying over from Kauai with my wife and friends that day. So, after eating since we hadn't eaten in about 7 hours since breakfast I went to the Stupa and found inside a huge Dharma Wheel that amplifies prayers many thousand fold so you push it to the left and each time it spins around it rings a bell for thousands of prayers manifesting. But, it's important to spin it left so clockwise according to Tibetan Traditions.
So, Tashi Delek (Good Luck in Tibetan).
begin quotes:
- Location: 81 Baldwin Avenue, Paia, Maui, Hawaii.
- Stupa: A 27-foot-high, white structure with colorful strips and a roof that resembles a monk praying. It was consecrated by the Dalai Lama in 2007.
- Dharma Wheel: A large wooden prayer wheel is inside the stupa, which visitors can spin to send prayers to the universe.
- Purpose: The stupa is a symbol of peace and enlightenment, and the center provides a space for spiritual practice, meditation, and reflection.
- Hours: The grounds are open daily, typically from 6 AM to 6:30 PM, though it's best to check their schedule, according to Yelp and Hawaiian Beach Rentals.
