Beginning Month is APRIL 2009!!! Beautiful original images of the Leverett Peace Pagoda located in Western Massachusetts fill this calendar with peaceful scenes to visualize with or just gaze upon to relax. The Peace Pagoda was built by young Americans led by Japanese monks and nuns of the Nipponzan Myohoji order of Buddhism. Pagodas, or stupas, are built to house relics of the Buddha and are common in Buddhist countries. Nipponzan Myohoji is unusual among Buddhist orders in that the ordained are not seeking personal salvation or enlightenment, but the removal of all weapons from the face of the earth. Updated monthly so that whenever you order one of these calendars you will be able to use it for a full 12 months!
