Chronicling a formidable and sacred journey to Mt. Kailash, Tibet, Journey to the Center of the Universe, a fundraiser and film screening presented by The Maui Dharma Center, takes place on Sat. Aug. 4, 2018 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center at 7:00 p.m. in the McCoy Studio Theater.

Known in Eastern traditions as The Precious Snow Mountain, the Center of the Universe, the Navel of the World, and the Cosmic Pillar that unites Heaven and Earth, Mt. Kailash’s nearly 22,000 foot summit has never been reached by any human being, but its 33-mile sacred pilgrimage path has beckoned the faithful for centuries.
