Built by the monks and nuns of the Nipponzan Myohoji, this was the first Peace Pagoda to be built in the western hemisphere and
enshrines sacred relics of Lord Buddha.The Inauguration ceremony, on 21st September 1980, was presided over by the late most Venerable Nichidattsu Fujii, founder and preceptor of the order of Nipponzan Myohoji. Religious leaders from all over the world attended. Saplings from the Sacred Bohdi Tree under which the Buddha attained Enlightenment were also presented.

Nous nous sommes donc rendus dans ce haut lieu de la paix pour se recueillir et passer une journée hors du temps.

la pagode est ornée de ces frises qui raconte la vie du Buddha

deux lions majestueux gardent l'entrée de la pagode
