Grafton Peace Pagoda 25th Anniversary Ceremony

Grafton Peace Pagoda 25th Anniversary Ceremony Saturday October 6, 2018, 11:00am

If one wishes for peace for oneself, first pray for peace for the 4 directions, the entire world. All humans are facing extinction as each nation is concerned only for its own security. In order for humanity to survive we must abolish militarization and war. World peace and personal peace are inextricably linked and the Buddha Dharma of Ahinsa (non-violence) is the way to achieve both. – Nichidatsu Fuji
