This Memorial Day (Monday, May 25), 50,000 people will gather on Ala Moana Beach, in Hawaii, to “create a moment of collective remembrance, harmony, and international friendship.” The ceremony is presented by the Buddhist community Shinnyo-en, which you can read about in Andrea Miller’s Buddhadharma profile.

Monday’s event will include special prayers to honor those lost in the Nepal Earthquakes, and will culminate in the launching of 6,000 candle-lit lanterns at sunset. The ceremony is non-denominational and free, and is expected to be the largest Memorial Day observance in the country. To learn more, visit lanternfloatinghawaii.com.
