Gentle Jade Buddha,

born of our hope that we might

put an end to war...

The Jade Buddha for Universal Peace is carved from a solid block of perfect jade. The Buddha is on tour throughout major world cities before settling into a permanent home in The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo, Australia.
At a monastery just outside Vancouver, BC, I was fortunate enough to sit before him in a moment of contemplation.

The Jade Buddha asks us to reflect upon peace, irrespective of our religion…peace for our friends, for our families and workmates…and peace in our own hearts and minds.

In this manner, joy can win out over anger, and we may at last find our way to peace in the world.
Namaste...
