Global Peace Pole Day 2025
November 22, 2025
Honoring the 109th Birthday of Masahisa Goi
May Peace Prevail On Earth
On November 22nd, our global community came together for a deeply moving celebration of Global Peace Pole Day, held in honor of the 109th birthday of Masahisa Goi, the beloved founder of the Universal Message and Prayer, May Peace Prevail On Earth.
For decades, Masahisa Goi’s message has awakened millions to the truth of our shared humanity — our oneness — and the power each of us holds to cultivate peace from within. This special annual celebration continues that tradition, bringing hearts together from all over the world.
A Day of Global Unity & Celebration
Our event began at 4pm Pacific / 7pm Eastern, with participants joining not only from across the United States but from Japan, the United Kingdom, and many nations connected through our worldwide family.
As shared in our announcement:
“Infinite Gratitude to Masahisa Goi who Awakened the Spirit of Oneness through the Universal Message: MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH.”
His words remain at the center of everything we do — a guiding light for our programs, our Peace Pole activities, our youth initiatives, and the global peace movement that continues to grow year after year.

As part of this year’s celebration, we proudly shared a special video dedicated to Masahisa Goi, his life, his prayer, and the movement he inspired. This tribute serves as a reminder of the profound impact one individual can have, and how each Peace Pole planted today continues his legacy into the future.
We invite you to watch the entire Global Peace Pole Day Celebration.
Celebrating Youth Around the World
This year’s Global Peace Pole Day also marked the official announcement of the
2025 Peace Pals Art Awards.
Children ages 5 to 16 from more than 100 countries submitted artwork reflecting their vision of peace, harmony, love, and unity. Their creations, full of heart, color, courage, and hope — truly carried Masahisa Goi’s spirit forward.
These young artists continue to inspire us all. Their art is more than expression; it is a message. A prayer. A Peace Pole in visual form.
May Peace Prevail On Earth.
To all who joined us, on Zoom, on Facebook, in spirit, or through your own Peace Pole ceremonies , we thank you. Your presence, intention, and love help strengthen the fabric of global peace.
With gratitude,
May Peace Prevail On Earth International
