Paia Peace Stupa gets built


The unobtrusive MAUI DHARMA CENTER on Baldwin Avenue is building a new Peace Stupa. You might ask "what is a Stupa?"



Stupas are unique and powerful sacred monuments, which represent the mind of enlightenment - the perfection of wisdom and compassion. They support a spiritual life-style, a teaching without words, which invites peace, love, healing, contentment and knowledge. The very presence of a Stupa in the community dispels negativity and brings benefit and merit to the environment and all beings. The Great Lha Bab Peace Stupa being built on the grounds of the Maui Dharma Center is dedicated to the late All Good Lama Tenzin.

Maui Wind Power - now in production at Kaheawa, Maalaea


The Maui News reports that Kaheawa wind farm in Maalaea has been pumping out as much as 15 to 17 megawatts of electricity recently, with 14 of 20 wind generating towers hooked up. Each tower has a 1.5 MW turbine on top, so 14 towers at full blast could generate 21 MW. This is good news for Maui County, which relies heavily on imported diesel to supply electric power to residents and businesses.

Some people here on Maui like to produce their own wind generated power as well, for personal use, usually out of necessity. Some areas of Maui have no connection to the Maui Electric grid. Here's a picture of one of our Bergey 1 KW turbine in Huelo, Haiku. This workhorse has been steadily producing lots of "free" energy for years, with very little maintenance or down time. Thanks to the tradewinds here on the north shore, we can count on plenty of power on most days, and many nights too. We currently have 2 wind generators producing power to 2 homes, and will be erecting a third one soon. We are firm believers in alternative energy, and would like to see more people taking advantage of these ample renewable resources here in Hawaii. If you'd like more information about powering your Maui home, please don't hesitate to contact me.
