In celebration of World Meditation Day, Wat Phra Dhammakaya encouraged people throughout the world to create inner peace through meditation for the world peace and submit their meditation photo to break the Guinness World Records for one million meditation photos.
Venerable Phrakrusamu Sanitwong Wuttiwangso, Director of the Communication Department, stated that in 1988, the World Fellowship of Buddhist Youth realized the significance of meditation since it was a universal practice that everyone of any religion can do. Thus, they designated August 6 of each year as World Meditation Day in an effort to inspire people around the world to use this most peaceful method to create world peace through inner peace. They also campaigned to raise awareness of the importance of meditation so that everyone can live together happily in harmony.
“On 6 August 2022, Wat Phra Dhammakaya organizes an online morning meditation session via https://ngaitaeluek.com in order to create world peace through inner peace and invites everyone to submit a photo in meditation pose at http://meditationphoto.com or Line Open Chat: https://bit.ly/1milliongwr in an attempt to break the Guinness World Records for 1 million meditation photos.”, said Venerable Phrakrusamu Sanitwong Wuttiwangso.
