http://www.peacenext.org/profile/WorldPeaceBarong

A barong is a lion-like figure that makes a dancing pilgrimage for peace.

World Peace Barong / Barong Pa-Hayu Buwana
was born 26 March 2003 and blessed 26 March 2004
during the annual program "Sharing Art & Religiosity" in Bedulu, Bali facing
the temple Pura Samuan Tiga, where in the year 1011 three faiths met in reconciliation.

This barong is a new creation made of wood, bark & roots, coral, stones, feathers, fabric, bells, and other materials initially gifted by 56 individuals and societies from villages and cities of Bali; East, Central, and West Java; South and Central Sulawesi; Kalimantan, and Sumatra, Indonesia; Italy, France, Germany, United Kingdom, United States, Mexico, Columbia, Argentina, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Netherlands, Switzerland, Israel, Greece, Poland, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Philippines, Japan, Taiwan Province of China, and India.

People from around the world
are invited to send materials from your land every year to beautify the
World Peace Barong / Barong Pa-Hayu Buwana
so that it may be more complete for
"Sharing Art & Religiosity" from 14 to 18 April 2011
to be held in Bedulu, Bali, Indonesia

and dedicated to the 1000th anniversary of reconciliation at Samuan Tiga.

May it accompany the way of human time with heartfelt unity in diversity to foster peace on earth.
