Communication of the Results

A series of large-scale meditation/prayer event taking place in a coordinated way in various parts of the world and linking faiths and cultures East and West is a “global first”; it has never been done before. Its effect on artificial devices of high sensitivity, such as complex computers, and on interacting groups of human beings, may produce unprecedented effects. Showing this in a controlled and scientific verified way would be sensational news, of high interest for all concerned people, including religious and spiritual groups, forward-looking sustainability-conscious business companies, and the public media. It would be highly positive news for the human future, as it would show that our thinking, and even our consciousness, can influence the way we, and others around us, live and act. It could be the “butterfly effect” that makes the difference between a destiny of breakdown to violence and chaos, or one of breakthrough to a more peaceful, humane, and sustainable civilization. The Club of Budapest, its interfaith Global Peace Meditation and Prayer Day partners, and the coordinators personally, are committed to carrying forward this project, and to make its results known locally as well as globally through the appropriate channels (press communiqués, the Internet, TV reports and interviews).

Follow-up

Following a successful conclusion of the 2007 interfaith Global Peace Meditation and Prayer Day, similar Days are to become an annual event. They are to culminate in September 2012 with the Club of Budapest’s “Embrace the Planet” Celebration, where a very large number of people will hold hands, forming a giant human chain around the planet. Given a measurably significant effect already of local meditation/prayer events in various parts of the globe, it is to be expected that millions of volunteers holding hands and meditating on, and praying for, peace and harmony on the planet, will make a crucial difference for our life and future at a point in time that is widely recognized as critical for the life and future of the human family.
