Meditation for World Peace in Grant Park Atlanta

Grant Park Meditation, Georgia Buddhist Camp, and present:

On Saturday, April 11th, please join us with Buddhist monk from the Walk for Peace, Phra Ajarn Maha Dam Phommasan from , and local venerable monastics to set an intention for inner peace and the happiness of all beings. In Buddhist practice, peace begins within—through non-violence, loving-kindness, and mindfulness. The calm and compassion we cultivate in our hearts ripple outward to our families, communities, and the wider world.
