Ahimsa
is a Sanskrit word meaning Compassion for all Life, so this is a Sanctuary
where animals will not be asked to give their lives for the pleasures
of our taste buds, nor asked to give us their body products, often
through conditions of great suffering. The violence of killing other
sentient beings will not overshadow the peaceful, loving energy here.
As
George Bernard Shaw said, We are sick of war! We don’t want
to fight, and yet we gorge ourselves on the dead! The animals are
my friends, and I don’t eat my friends!
After
the ceremonies and sharing (about 4 P.M.) there will be a VEGAN
POTLUCK. Vegan food an be wonderfully delicious. If you desire,
bring a potluck item (no meat, fish, dairy, eggs or honey.) Ahimsa
Hamakua is drug-free (no alcohol, please).
We
will try to generate NO TRASH, so Please Bring Your Own Non-Disposable
Table Setting including: plate, eating utensils, cup and cloth napkin.)
Children
and friends are welcome. Stay for the Sing-Along after the potluck.
