DHAMMAKAYA FOUNDATION
Dhammakaya Foundation in Thailand, a non-government organisation of the United Nation (UN), has the ultimate vision “To create world peace through inner peace”.
In many ways, peace is one of the most sought-after commodities in the world, perhaps because true peace is so rarely found. Humanity seeks peace in all places: books, music, exotic destinations, and companionship. We even spend significant amounts of money in this pursuit. However, the greatest miracle of a human being is that PEACE is always within reach. In fact, it does not lie any further than where you are right now. The key to peace lies in its SIMPLICITY. To find peace, one only needs to close one’s eyes and become STILL.
With that faith, groups of adherents pilgrimed all over the world and now there are 131 branches in 32 countries.
"When the mind of each person in this world knows true peace, the world will know peace. When the mind is peaceful, it will start to see the true cause of peace, and at the same time, the true cause of war. With this clarity, we can finally put an end to conflict, greed, and anger, and usher in an era of peace. Once we know peace for ourselves, it will be reflected in our thoughts, our speech, and in our actions. Love and good intention for mankind will arise and we will become the center of peace for people all around us; like the sun shining warm light to big and small stars, both near and far."

Peace already exists – WITHIN US. It is always there in everyone, no matter who you are, where you live, or what you believe. We only need to be aware of it. Each human being has the potential to look within, to be still, and to experience peace. We can see for ourselves that the road which leads to world peace, lies within our INNER PEACE. Allow your journey to begin now…
