Bracciano, Italy
report by Bibi Guru Inder Dharma and Hariji Dharma
We joined all of you in celebrating the SOPP this year, holding a peace meditation and flag ceremony at the Yogadharma temple in Bracciano, near Rome, on May 20th.
The divine spirits of all the sacred elements—earth, water, fire, air, space—generously blessed this mission, and a great number of people attended the event both in person, despite the unstable weather conditions, and online for the first time, with great success.
It is not easy to put into words our infinite gratitude to Mrs. Masami Saionji, her family and each of you for having made this possible. A special thank you goes to Ms. Maria Caterina Putignano, who was there representing Byakko Shinko Kai, conveyed heartfelt greetings from Byakko, and called out the country names during the flag ceremony together with the President of the Young Diamonds, Federica Yamuna Dharma.
The ceremony was so remarkable thanks also to the presence of many Young Diamonds Yogadharma, the young adults of an awakened humanity, who took part in the meditation fully aware of the sacred gesture they were doing by carrying the flags and making their contribution to peace in every nation. It was really special to have them and their families in this event for peace.
The following morning at dawn, we eagerly watched the 2023 Symphony of Peace Prayers and listened to Masami Saionji’s speech. Her words about the divine circle that binds every living thing profoundly touched our hearts and inspired us in accomplishing this divine plan.
