This monday, as every year on Memorial Day, thousands of people have gathered at Ala Moana Beach, Hawaii, to honor and pray for those who sacrificed their lives in war and natural disasters, for loved ones who have passed away and to aim for a harmonious and peaceful future. Thousands of "japanese lanterns" were released on the water during what is known as "Buddhist Floating Lantern Ceremony", even if the organizers loves to say:“It’s not a Hawaiian thing or a Japanese thing. It’s not a Buddhist thing. It’s a ‘Human Thing’”
