7th Symphony of Peace Prayers Fuji Sanctuary, May 22nd

The 7th Symphony of Peace Prayers at Fuji Sanctuary Japan, brought together a magnificent energy of peace, of love and deep heart connection. The joy of being together linked in spirit and united in our earnest desire for world peace with the tens of thousands of people from around the world, was immense. In unison, our prayers for peace, shared by the various faiths representatives and intoned by the participants, resonated across the prayer field, heartfelt and joyful at the same time, filled with many emotions, all mixed into one.

A feeling that something is shifting in the world and that 'the time has arrived' for a new paradigm on earth to anchor itself, where spirit will lead the way, was shared by everyone. Naturally, the speeches by the various speakers reflected the events of March 11th which shook Japan and the world, all people present having experienced it first hand, and how these events are already affecting the whole planet. 

The prayers were of a deep intensity, filled with joyful beauty and serenity. As they left the sanctuary, many people felt that SOPP this year had entered a new phase, it was different and it was very very special.

May Peace Prevail on Earth ! In gratitude to all the people who joined in this Symphony of Peace Prayers, in gratitude to the earth and all living things.

 SOPP Fuji May 22nd

SOPP May 22nd at Fuji Sanctuary: Welcoming address by Mrs Masami Saionji

The following is an excerpt from Masami Saionji welcoming address for SOPP 2011 at Fuji Sanctuary. Mrs Saionji is Chairperson of the Byakko Shinko Kai, she initiated the Symphony of Peace Prayers in 2005. 

' With today’s ceremony, we are sending out prayers based in this universal awareness that all is one. With its theme of ‘celebrating the oneness of humanity, its cultural and religious diversity,’ the SOPP invites participants to pray with one voice the peace prayers of different faiths and spiritual traditions, sending a beautiful, harmonized energy throughout the world. This energy, born from our shared prayers, has a direct influence on people and countries across the globe, and on all life on Earth.

This is because our glorious prayers of universal consciousness awaken the divinity inherent in every living being, causing them to co-resonate with one another in a high-dimensional exchange of energy.

Through the prayers we are offering at today’s SOPP, the power and energy of our individual words and thoughts is concentrated, appealing to humanity’s collective consciousness and creating great waves of peace in the world. These waves originate not only at Fuji Sanctuary, but also at the local SOPP ceremonies and prayer gatherings being held at this very moment in many places around the world. As our prayers merge with theirs, the energy of love, healing, peace, and evolution is multiplied and enhanced.'
