As of this evening, on October the 1st, I am writing everything that the World Peace Shrine means to me and the many benefits I know it to offer Our Community. For now, I'll just let the website speak. The words, the photos, and the videos, tell stories of magic, for those with the eyes to see.

The following benefits can contribute to a community that values peace, tolerance, and understanding, ultimately leading to a more harmonious and peaceful coexistence.

This can lead to a more harmonious and peaceful community.
