Peace Pagoda, Battersea Park, London, England, United Kingdom, Europe
The Peace Pagoda is an inspiring movement taking place across the globe. The building is a Buddhist stūpa, which is a mound-like structure that contains relics and overall is a place of meditation, a sight to practice peace and unity for people of all races and backgrounds. These buildings are used to encourage the search for world peace. You may not know that one of the 80 Peace Pagodas around the world resides in South London’s own Battersea Park! The Peace Pagodas, including the site in Battersea, were built as part of Buddhist monk Nichidatsu Fujii’s (1885–1985) advocacy for world peace and non-violence. Fujii was from Japan and became the founder of the Nipponzan-Myōhōji Buddhist Order. The Nipponzan-Myōhōji is a religious movement from Japanese Buddhism and they constructed the Peace Pagodas as a spiritual focus site and to spread their plea for peace.
