What is a Peace Pole?
Peace Poles are usually four or six sided columns with the message, May Peace Prevail On Earth, printed on each side in the languages of the world. They are planted and dedicated around the world and are now recognised as the most prominent international symbol and monument to peace.The message, May Peace Prevail On Earth, was authored by the Japanese writer, poet and philosopher, Masahisa Goi. The planting of Peace Poles was started in Japan as a grassroots community project in 1975 and has grown into an international peace movement. It is estimated that there are more than 200,000 Peace Poles that have been dedicated in almost every country in the world.
Why Plant a Peace Pole?
Planting a Peace Pole is a way of bringing people together to inspire, awaken and uplift the human consciousness the world over.
It will connect you with the network of people around the world who planted their Peace Poles in the same spirit of peace. When you plant a Peace Pole you are imprinting a positive thought form in the hearts, minds and existence of all of creation. It is a wonderful project for any community group, from children to senior citizens.
Where are Peace Poles Planted?
Peace Poles have been planted and gifted by people like you and me in back yards, churches, gardens, schools, libraries, parks and other community locations. Many of them have also been planted by prominent individuals and organisations in some extraordinary places!
This Peace Pole is planted at the Baha'i Centre in Hobart.
It was dedicated at Symphony of Peace Prayers, May 2009 and donated by Tomoko Ukai, from Japan.
