Global Online Peace Flag Ceremony on the International Day of Peace

September 21, 2025

I know you had wonderful events for IDP! Thank you! 

We also held an International Peace Ceremony linked with the International Day of Peace on 21st September. European members, Caroline from Allanton, me and Osaka group in Japan collaborated together to create each moment of this beautiful ceremony with the participants from all over the world!

Here is my report:
On September 21st, the International Day of Peace, we held an online flag ceremony and offered prayers of gratitude to nature and our planet Earth, while watching two videos of beautiful scenery. Participants joined from all over Japan and around the world.

First, eleven overseas members gave very touching short speeches on “Peace for Me” to prepare our consciousness before the ceremony began. We held a flag ceremony with peace prayers in all national languages; many of those prayers were offered from 10 native voice leaders from 10 different countries. It concluded with peace messages and greetings from nine Japanese ceremony staff members. A flag bearer from Osaka graciously raised each flag in beautiful traditional Japanese kimono. It was a truly wonderful International Day of Peace ceremony.
