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.
