About the tour
Peacemaking, nonviolence, and reconciliation — bodhicitta made visible in sand, sound, and silence.
Peacemaking on the road
The World Peace Tour is an educational and experiential offering to teach peacemaking and reconciliation skills — weaving sand mandala, Buddhist teachings, meditation, and dialogue to examine the inner causes of conflict: anger, fear, and ignorance.
Bodhicitta is the heart and cause of peace. The tour invites us to become peacemakers in an increasingly complex world.
The essential questions
- How can we be peacemakers in an increasingly complex world?
- How can we stay inspired?
Purpose: train peacemakers — each of us can make a difference.

A word on nonviolence
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that." — Martin Luther King Jr. (corrected per Media Kit §2.3; MK misprinted our darkness).
Dalai Lama
"World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion." — His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
