The annual Light and Peace ceremony will once again
be held at the Nan Hua Temple in Bronkhorstspruit on 29 September 2013, 10h30 to
12h00, celebrating and promoting peace and
harmony.



This
year’s event will focus on spiritual awareness through relaxation, music and
compassion meditation. The positive feedback from last year encouraged Nan Hua
Temple to offer visitors a chance of discovering freedom of mind and offering
them the opportunity to relax, emptying the dialogue of the mind and having a
chance to connect to their inner being. It also offers the opportunity for
engaging with like-minded, multi-cultural people, and benefiting from a
collective energy.
 
According
to Venerable Jue Kai, the change from a frenetic festival theme to a tranquil,
engaging event has been very well received. The celebration will be more
meditative, serene and peaceful. Guests will have the opportunity to experience
difference forms of meditation, listen to a traditional Eastern and Western
musical performance and give light offerings for peace and goodwill around the
world.
 
Visitors
will receive a small Mexican Ghost succulent (Graptopetalum
  paraguayense), a species of succulent plant in the jade plant
  family, which is an easy-to-grow, drought resistant succulent and depicts
  environmental sustainability and spiritual preservation, celebrating internal
  growth as well as harmony with the natural world around us.
 
Entrance
and lunch is free and families and children are welcome. Guest will be
entertained during lunch by a Youth Talent Show.
