Peace Vase Project :
Sinai
Desert Egypt
During the Great Cameltreck from Coast to Coast across the Sinai
Desert from 20 September to 14 October 2004 we placed 4 Peace Vases.
This Cameltreck was organised by Sabera Machat, a student of H.H.
Sogyal Rinpoche, who has been living in the Sinai Desert for 12
years and who was born in the Netherlands. The participants were
from Germany, Austria and Poland. Altogether we were 13 Participants,
9 Beduins, 15 Camels, 1 Sabera… On our way from the Westcoast to
the Eastcoast of the Sinai Peninsula we crossed several mountain
passes with our camels, slept under the stars and on the earth,
encountered one sand-viper and 3 scorpions, our own minds, expectations
and projections.
During our 24-day Journey we placed 4 Peace Vases in the following
places:
SINAI DESERT - EGYPT - Wadi Sheich Hasjasj This Vase was
placed at an altitude of 900 meters early in the morning. At the
moment we put the last stone to cover the Peace Vase, the Sun rose
above the mountains..

SINAI DESERT - EGYPT - Forest of Pillars This Vase was placed
at 950 meters altitude - overlooking the vast Sand areas and Sinai
Mountains.
In this position we covered the Peace Vase with stones.
SINAI DESERT - EGYPT - Machroom Mountains Again an altitude
of 900 meters. This time the Place was on top of one of the biggest
Sand Dunes in the Sinai. Before sunrise I dug a large hole and placed
the Peace Vase inside, covering it with large Stones - Sand will
do the rest…
SINAI DESERT - EGYPT - Nationalpark Ras Abou Ghaloum Directly
on the Gulf of Acaba, looking at the Mountains of Saoudi Arabia,
we put one Peace Vase directly on the Border of the Sea. We dug
a big hole and covered it with big, heavy stones and gravel - here
every day it will be touched by the sunrise, the water and the air.
Dedication of Merit By the power and the truth of this Journey,
practice and placing Peace Vases across the Sinai Desert May all
sentient beings have happiness and the causes of happiness, be
free from suffering and the causes of suffering, May they never
be separated from the great happiness devoid of suffering and
live believing in the equality of all that lives!
