This Vajrayana Dharma Center is located on the lush Hawaiian Island of KAUAI, in the mountains above Kapaa. Founded by the venerable Kalu Rinpoche, (Kagyu Shangpa lineage), we welcome everybody, and students from all Buddhist branches alike.

Our mission Statement
Our goal is to enable you to find emotional balance and inner peace through Buddhism in order to effectively benefit yourself, others and our environment.

Our intention is to empower people to be on their own spiritual path !  All spiritual paths are valuable, and although we embrace the daily practice of Dharma rituals and meditations as profound tools, it is not required of those simply working towards a higher path.

We support environmental sustainable practices to set an ecological example, like organic farming, recycling etc. and we correspond with prison inmates in our prison outreach program, and hope to improve their lives with the teachings of Dharma.

The Kauai Dharma Center is a non-profit church organization supported by tax deductible donations allowed by law.
