Outdoor Voice: Leverett Peace Pagoda
– June 14, 2014 –

A little bit of history…
After the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945, a Buddhist monk named Nichidatsu Fujii built a pagoda on a nearby mountain, reviving a 2,500 year old tradition begun in India. He consecrated the pagoda as a shrine to world peace and enlightenment.
Before he died at the age of 100, Fujii had helped to establish more than 80 peace pagodas around the world. And one of them happens to be within 10 miles of Amherst.
