One Peace

I have just received an email from Danny Fisher about an upcomming event:

I recently received an email from an acquaintance of mine, Mr. Shisir Khanal, who is the executive director of Sarvodaya USA. Sarvodaya USA is the American branch of Sri Lanka's Sarvodaya Shramana Movement--the largest NGO in the South Asian nation, devoted to the "sustainable empowerment" of rural Sri Lankens in 15,000 villages across 34 districts.  Its founder, Dr. A.T. Ariyaratne, is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee and one of the great figures in the modern Engaged Buddhist movement (along with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Sulak Sivaraksa, Maha Ghosananda, and others).  Shisir and Sarvodaya are hoping Buddhobloggers and others will help promote Dr. Ariyaratne's upcoming visit to Michigan.  He will be one of two main speakers at One Peace, a dialogue and meditation event to be held at the Eastern Michigan Convocation Center in Ypsilante, MI, on the United Nations' International Day of Peace (Sept. 21).

Check out the details here. 

In other news, I've been out and about lately finally trying to get over the jet lag.  I have a few pics to post later.  Will blog soon....
