Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on September 21st. The United Nations General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. In 2007, Hawaii became the first state to recognize Peace Day.

Ring Your Bells for Peace Day

We anticipate there will be another “Ring Your Bells for Peace Day” event via Zoom and at participating temples and other sites on the morning of September 21. See video of the 2023 event on YouTube.
