The Peace vases being distributed by Siddhartha's Intent in New Delhi, India, contain finely ground precious stones which were mixed with sea water, formed into small balls and dried before being placed inside of the sealed plastic receptacles. They were consecrated in 1991, over a period of two weeks, with the assistance and prayers of a number of respected lamas in the Kingdom of Bhutan. Having been transferred from the Monastery to New Delhi, approximately 2000 remain in the office of Siddhartha's Intent in New Delhi.

The originator of this Peace Vase project, and their principal consecrator, was His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, who passed away shortly after the consecration was completed. Khyentse Rinpoche was recognized as one of the greatest spiritual masters of this century, and was regarded as someone possessing unequalled power of prayer. This gives us confidence that the vases consecrated by him will truly be able to aid the planet, by promoting peace, harmony, and ecological soundness in the area surrounding each one of these vases.

Siddhartha's Intent aims to place these vases in every single country in the world with the prayer and intention of the project that the vases assist in creating world peace and harmony on both a social and environmental level, in all major water bodies, in all important natural sites such as the highest mountains, largest rivers, holy and powerfull places, in all major ecologically endangered locations, and even in space.
