“The appearance of a Pagoda touches the hearts and minds
of all people. Those who venerate this pagoda absolutely
reject nuclear warfare and firmly believe that a peaceful world will be
manifested. The vision of the Peace Pagoda has the power to bring about
a spiritual transformation. It illuminates the dawn of a spiritual civilization.

[Note] The ground purification ceremony(Jichin-sai) is a traditional Buddhist and Shinto ceremony that gets permission from the local guardian god(spirit) and purifies the building site. It is also the means to pray for the related people’s safety during construction and for prosperity. As part of the ceremony, Omiki(Sacred sake), Okome(sacred rice) and salt are also returned to the ground.
We expect supporters of the peace pagoda from across the U.S. and from other nations for this joyous occasion.
