“Path to Peace” in Times Square

MARCH 20, 2008

On the first day of Spring, The Shinnyo-en Foundation launched the “Six Billion Paths to Peace” global initiative in Times Square. Symmetry Event Solutions, who produced the event, pruchased a 24 ft. Dome that was designed to look like the globe.

The Dome was set up on “Military Island” surrounded by a lush garden oasis to demonstrate that no matter where you are, or who you are, it is possible to find and create peace. For eleven hours, the “Earth Dome” attracted the attention of New Yorkers and asked them to consider the contributions they could make to create a more harmonious world. This event attracted over 1,000 visitors within the first two hours.

The foundation’s goal is to raise the awareness of six billion people on our planet and inspire them to pledge their own unique “Path to Peace.” To find out more about this, or to pledge your path, visit http://www.sixbillionpaths.org.
