We were inspired\u00a0to see children and adults working on beautiful designs and writing profound messages on their peace lanterns. It was wonderful to have clergy members from different faith traditions offering their prayers for light,\u00a0kindness and peace during this festive period.<\/p>\n

Clergy from four faith traditions interacted with the audience to create lanterns and each recited a short traditional prayer in its original language, then interpreted the prayer in English. Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, Rev. Dr. T. Kenjitsu Nakagaki, Imam Muhammad Shahidullah and Avadhuta H.H. Jagat Guru Dileepji Maharaj represented Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim and Hindu religions, respectively.\u00a0Each religion incorporates decorative lights into its holiday celebration. Rabbi Lau-Lavie reminded the audience that immediately after the world was created light was the next key element \u2013 \u2018Let there be light\u2019.<\/p>\n

Participants ranged in age from 16 months to 75. \u201cLove will prevail and there will be no more 9\/11\u2019s\u201d<\/em> wrote guest Barbara Wolf on the side of her lantern.\u00a0The event was presented in collaboration with the Heiwa Peace and Reconciliation Foundation of New York.[\/vc_column_text][mk_image_slideshow images=”1610,1616,1619,1618″ image_width=”800″ image_height=”600″ margin_top=”40″ margin_bottom=”40″ effect=”slide” pause_on_hover=”true”][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/JVi-G58ZRKI”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
