To remember the sufferings and the lives lost in Tibet and to pray for the peace, Buddhist temples are the best places to do so. The Organizing Committee has been proposing the Japanese Buddhist monks and temples for their cooperation and participation in this program. "Terra" refers to temple in Japanese and the earth in Latin, as well. Today, at this moment, still many are suffering and struggling with great difficulties in Tibet and many other places on this plannet. If you believe in the power of non-violence and wish for peace, please come join us to lit your candle for inner and outer peace, at a Japanese temple where our Buddhist tradition has been preserved for 1500 years. We also want you to start organiging this program in your nearby temples. We look forward to seeing as many candles as possible to lit for peace at every temple in Japan, and spreading all over the world.]]> http://www.higan.net/english/notice/2008/09/the_third_candlenightterra.html http://www.higan.net/english/notice/2008/09/the_third_candlenightterra.html Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:17:13 +0900 This display traces the development of Buddhist statues from Gandhara (Ancient India), China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan to provide insights about how Buddhist beliefs and statues developed in each region.
