He mea nui ka pili ʻuhane ʻana i loko o kou ʻohana a me kou nohona kanaka? No ke aha? :: February 19, 2010

He mea nui ka pili ʻuhane ʻana i loko o kou ʻohana a me kou nohona kanaka? No ke aha?

He mea nui ka pili ʻuhane ʻana i kuʻu wahine, akā, he mea ʻokoʻa iaʻu. I koʻu wā kamaliʻi, ua nīnau mai koʻu mau mākua iaʻu e ʻimi aku i koʻu hoʻomana ponoʻī. No ka mea, inā ua pono kekahi i koʻu manaʻo, e hahai pono ana au i ia hoʻomana. No laila, ua heluhelu au i ka Paipala a me ke aʻo Zen, a lohe au i ka Dalai Lama ma Wood Valley Temple ma Pahala.

I koʻu ʻimi ʻana, ua ʻike au i ka mea ʻokoʻa o ka pili ʻuhane a me ka hoʻomana. ʻO ka pili ʻuhane ka mea i loko o ko kākou naʻau, ʻo ia ko kākou mana paha. ʻO ka hoʻomana ke kau ʻino ʻana o ko kākou pili ʻuhane ponoʻī ma luna o haʻi.

Inā nalowale ka hoʻomana o ka poʻe a pau, he aha ka hopena? Emi nō ke kaua, ka huhū, a me ka hoʻokae ʻili. E hauʻoli ana paha ka poʻe a pau. Akā, emi pū ka waiwai kekahi. No ka hoʻomana, nui ka haku ʻana i ka hana noʻeau, ka ʻōlelo noʻeau, ke mele, a pēlā wale aku. A he mea nui ka hoʻomana i ka pane ʻana o "No ke aha ma ke ao nei kākou?"

No laila, ʻo kā kākou hana ka mea e ʻike ʻia ai o ko kākou pili ʻuhane ʻana. Inā hana maikaʻi kākou, ulu aʻe ka lāhui. ʻO ia ka mea nui a ʻo ia koʻu manaʻo wale nō.

Is spirituality an important aspect of your family and home life? Why?

Spirituality is important to my wife, but to me, it's different. When I was a kid, my parents urged me to find my own religion. The reason being that if I found one that was right for me, I would follow its doctrine appropriately. Therefore, I've read from the Bible, Zen teachings and listened to the Dalai Lama when he spoke at Wood Valley Temple in Pahala, Hawaiʻi.

In my searching, I've come to see the difference between spirituality and religion. Spirituality is our core internal belief system, our "mana." Religion is the forcing of our belief systems upon others.

If religion were to disappear from society, what would happen? There would certainly be a significant reduction in wars, general animosity, and prejudice. People might be happier. But, there we would also lose valuable things as well. In the name of religion, copious amounts of art, literature, music and so forth have been created. And religion can be important to answering "Why are we here?"

Regardless, it is in what we do that we see evidence of our spirituality. If we do good, the human race benefits. That's the most important thing and that's just my opinion.
