ILOILO CITY- More than 15,000 sky lanterns were flown last May 24 and the Guinness Book of World Records is there to confirm the record breaking event!
“The Inaugural Light of Peace Event”, which is the first annual and international event of its kind to be held in the Philippines. The historic event were organized at the Football Field of the University of the Philippines, Miagao Campus in Iloilo, by Thailand’s based-nonprofit organization Middle Meditation Institute (MMI) on the back of great cooperation from Filipino core organizers.
The primary objective of the event is to promote World Peace as a natural consequence of Inner Peace.
A time-honored and solemn method of achieving inner peace is through silence and prayer. Regardless of religious or political beliefs, meditation is often mentioned in the same breath with prayer. All religious systems in one form or another, use various methods of silence, stillness or meditation to achieve a state of inner peace most suited with effective prayer.
Meanwhile , 12,470 sky lanterns released in a single event in Romania last 2012 during the opening of a shopping mall.
