Today: Friday, March 4th at 3PM EST
The European Buddhist Union is deeply concerned and saddened by the war in Ukraine. We hope that hostilities will end soon and a peaceful solution to the crisis will be found; war has a destructive effect on all of us. Especially in this century, it is the task of all of us to become one big human family on this planet, supporting and respecting each other. Diplomatic dialogue, wisdom and compassion must take precedence over weapons and aggression.
The European Buddhist Union appeals to all its members and supporters to organize a special meditation and prayer session Friday at 3PM EST to promote a sense of peace, togetherness and awareness — each and everyone can meditate for themselves at this time, we will all be connected through practice.
A shared moment of practice is very important in the face of the current crisis, to alleviate the suffering in ourselves and others, and so that wars like the one against Ukraine do not happen. This beautiful world should not be stained with blood, but adorned with the flower of love, which is the real and better task of human beings.
