WORLD PEACE VASES PROJECT UPDATE, FEBRUARY
2006
Hardly a day passes that we don’t have some news of a new
location or enquiries leading to contacts in new areas that will
eventually allow us to locate peace vases in every nook and cranny
of this vast planet earth. While a vast amount of work has been
done, many countries still remain with only a few or no vases placed
there as yet.
Dzongsar
Khyentse Rinpoche has described it as “the work of a life
time” and now after about 15 years into the project, we can
see that the work becomes progressively more difficult. As we finish
the project in countries where we could tap Buddhist contacts and
place vases freely we are faced with more and more parts of the
world, vast tracts of Russia, Central Asia, the Middle East, China,
Africa and many other less traveled regions like the Arctic ice
and now even Space, for which we have 12 vases allocated for the
Moon and satellites, are challenges in front of us.
Many
extraordinary individual and group feats remind us of what can be
done and we approach this next phase with optimism. Over the last
year alone coordinators and individuals have begun placing vases
in many eastern European nations, Poland, Hungary, Croatia (completed!),
Bosnia and the former Yugoslavian states, Bulgaria
(none placed as yet) and down to Greece, which is all but done.
The timing for our work in this area is interesting because it coincides
with Eastern Europe opening up in a way it could never have done
before. There is immense potential for development of peoples in
this region due to integration within the EU and lets pray peace
and prosperity comes with it!
We
must now see Africa and the middle-east with their various problems
and immense human sufferings as priority areas so please, let us
work to find ways and means to get vases located in Africa through
finding local coordinators via friends, work, business or whatever.
With untold millions suffering HIV AIDS epidemics, starvation, totalitarian
governments and civil wars, we must do all we can to bring some
solace to these hells on earth.
There are so many places, but now would be a fantastic time to locate
vases in Palestine!! and finish the work in Israel. Anyone going
that way??
We must also mention two major areas we have so far had very little
impact on, China and Russia. These are huge areas and we really
need reliable coordination from within them to make any deep impact
on getting vases located there.
There have been some amazing journeys, some of them recorded on
the web site http://www.siddharthasintent.org/peace/journeys.html
so have a browse. Some very special locations we have managed to
access such as Stormont Castle, an important location for peace
talks in northern Ireland, (placed around the time Sinn Fein were
integrating into mainstream politics) House of Parliament in London,
in the peace park at ground zero in New York city, at the pyramids
of Giza in Egypt, at Loch Ness in Scotland, in the Antarctic, Iceland,
Central Asia; Tajikistan and Tuva, Tibet and the killing fields
of Cambodia… the list is long… please browse the website
(vase locations, global mapping link) for more…
To
sum up, though much is done, we need all the help we can get to
establish reliable, ‘known’ contacts to coordinate the
project in the areas mentioned above (and many others) in this update.
It is a “life-time” project but there is so much to
do that we must hasten, but hasten slowly. Please keep this wonderful
project so dear to the heart of our lineage Gurus in your prayers
and thoughts…
