45th Anniversary of the Milton Keynes Peace Pagoda
NA MU MYO HO REN GE KYO
On Sunday 22nd June, there was the 45th anniversary of the building of the Milton Keynes Peace Pagoda.
Below is an extract from a Dharma talk by founder and teacher The Most Venerable Nichidatsu Fujii of the Nipponzan Myohoji Order, these words could not be more relevant now than at any time as the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza claim the lives of thousands.
"Peace will come to the world when we no longer kill or take from others, and instead make offerings to sustain the lives of others.
We are now at a time when we need to look with fresh eyes at these simple teachings. There is no other way. No matter what is said by Presidents or speeches given by Prime Ministers, they are nothing more than proposals for pillage and murder.
Humanity will perish unless these simple teachings of Lord Buddha for world peace are believed in. It is now time to believe."
