Celebration of peace

About 50 people joined in a round of mani mantras led by Geshe Jampa Tenzin (right), from the Dhargyey Buddhist Centre. Sitting with him are (from left) Karuna Sindhu Dasa, Ani Kunzang, Lhagm Tulku and Losang Dawa, during a celebration of peace, in the Octagon in Dunedin yesterday.

Some of those present had earlier taken part in the Global Mala, a yoga event consisting of 108 Salutations to the Sun (a sequence of yoga postures) done by international yoga groups simultaneously to celebrate United Nations World Peace Day.

The Dunedin event was organised by the Organisation for Global Nonviolent Action and the Dunedin Yoga Studio.
