On September 21, 2016 which is UN’s International Day of Peace, the Dhammakaya International Meditation Center, California (DIMC) was invited by Santa Anita Church in Arcadia to join the peace talk activity with representatives from Mahayana Buddhism, Christ, Islam, Hindu, Sikh and many other spiritual organisations. Each group had around 5 minutes to present and talk about peace in their points of view. The representatives from DIMC gave a short speech about inner peace that can occur only from within, not from outside the body and guide them in a short meditation session ending with a short silence. Many enjoy the meditation and show interest to visit DIMC center in future. Some came to join the Saturday meditation retreat on September 24, 2016.
