The Milton Keynes Peace Pagoda was completed in 1980 at the
northern edge of Willen Lake in Willen, Milton Keynes. This was the first Peace
Pagoda in the western world. There is a Nipponzan Myohoji Order temple and
monastery nearby.
On Sunday 23rd June there was a ceremony at the
Peace Pagoda to celebrate its 39th year of it being built.
The ceremony started with a procession of the Monks and Nuns
of Nipponzan Myohoji from the Temple to the Peace Pagoda. There was also a
welcome, prayers for peace, addresses and messages of peace, lunch and
multi-cultural events.
