International Peace Day 2026
What inspired you to take up the project?
May the light of our butter lamps dispel all darkness and warm every heart, reminding us that true peace begins within us and shines outward to benefit all sentient beings. Happy International Day of Peace!
What are the learnings you got from implementing this project and how would you make it better?
True peace is an active, daily practice that begins in our own hearts and extends to all sentient beings. Just as a single butter lamp dispels darkness, nurturing kindness and mindfulness in ourselves and young minds creates ripples of compassion, respect, and harmony across our entire world.
