London Peace Pagoda 23rd Anniversary
On this Saturday afternoon (14th June), interfaith prayers and a series of short speeches for peace will be followed by Thai music and dance – and free refreshments – at London’s Thames-side Peace Pagoda in Battersea Park.
The celebrations take place annually to mark the anniversary of the opening of the pagoda, part of a chain of shrines to world peace which, though they are Buddhist buildings, are designed to provide a spiritual focus for unity between people of all religions.

I have been recommending a book called “My Stroke of Insight – a Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey” by Jill Bolte Taylor and also a TEDTalk Dr. Taylor gave on the TED dot com site. And you don’t have to take my word for it – Dr. Taylor was named Time Magazine 100 Most Influential People, the New York Times wrote about her and her book is a NYTimes Bestseller), and Oprah did not 4 interviews with her.
