Meditative Walk at Indraprastha Park - Vishwa Shanti Stupa (World Peace Pagoda)

Описание: Meditative Walk at Indraprastha Park - Vishwa Shanti Stupa / World Peace Pagoda (with Relaxing Music):

The Shanti Stupa Society was established to build the Vishwa Shanti Stupa (World Peace Pagoda) in the Indraprastha Park in the heart of the City of Delhi. The purpose of the Shanti Stupa is to provide a “peace haven” for all and to develop programs that promote peace-building efforts all over the world with an emphasis on ahimsa, or nonviolence.

The Shanti Stupa has become a symbol of universal peace and acceptance over the centuries. Nipponzan Myohoji was founded by Most Venerable Nichidatsu Fujii (1885-1985) with the mission of building Shanti Stupas all over the world as a way of creating peace and transforming people’s mind and heart. This order has built more than eighty Shanti Stupas all across the globe.

The Shanti Stupa Project envisioned by Fujii Guruji in 1978 soon after he received the Jawahar Lal Nehru Award for International Understanding by the Government of India in recognition of his work. The project in Delhi began in 2004 in collaboration with the Delhi Development Authority and the Lt. Governor of Delhi.
