Vipassana Hawai'i's ongoing mission is to provide the means to gather and celebrate the practice of Buddhist meditation as a community, and to support the physical and human infrastructure for humanitarian relief for the people of Burma.
"My favorite part of helping distribute the annual Mettadana funds is visiting the three nunneries, where about 100 nuns, ranging in age from 5 or 6 to 90, reside… helping support their practice and study is an honor." -- Greg Scharf
