Peace Pagoda
The New England Peace Pagoda in Leverett is one of the most beautiful and spiritually uplifting places in Western Massachusetts. We took a quick trip up the mountain to take some photos there on a beautiful autumn day in October. The yoginis are Jess and Megan, who are both studying Iyengar Yoga at the Karuna Center for Yoga and Healing Arts in Northampton, MA - and my housemate Ila who has been studying Jivamukti with me in the park on random days.
From the Peace Pagoda website: "The Peace Pagoda is conceived as a prayer for peace, a tangible structiure that manifests the dedication of our lives to justice and peace. It has been said that as one views a Peace Pagoda, "It appears to rise, as a prayer, from the very elements surrounding it- the earth, air, water and sky. All people, regardless of their creed, may feel its appeal to the inviolable sacredness of all life."
