Category:World Peace Dharma Bells

1968. Filled with sadness for the tragedy of my homeland,
I came to realize the enormous suffering inflicted during
this century on so many people throughout the world. In
response, in 1989 I established in perpetuity the Annual
rNying-ma sMon-lam Chen-mo Ceremony at Bodh
Gayā, dedicated to WorldPeace. Now, 12 years later, I
offer this Dharma Bell with the deepest love and respect
to my parents, my venerable teachers, my fellow country-
men, and the people of Āryadeśa. I dedicate it to world
peace, the longevity of the Dharma, the memory of Tibet's
civilization and its destruction, and the hundred million
who perished in the violence of the last century. May this
Dharma Bell, symbol of Buddhavācana, remain until
Maitreya Buddha comes to Vajrāsana. Mangalam Subham
