The Center for the Promotion of Peace (CPOP) is dedicated to the cultivatation of peace on an individual, local, national, and global level through meditation, education, and service.
| The Interfaith Peace Mandala is an assemblage of eight symbols from eight major streams of world religions: Primal Traditions, Paganism, Hinduism, Judaism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. These symbols are set in a circle around an image of the earth and within a beautiful mandala pattern by artist Maja Apolonia Rode.
Surrounding these images are the words of the Interfaith Peace Mantra which is a compilation of eight words for PEACE from eight different languages representing each of the eight traditions. The words are arranged in the chronological/historical order of the emergence of each of these faiths. The purpose and intent of this mandala is to nurture and amplify personal and collective peace.
