The Fuji Declaration was launched in May of 2015 during a grand inauguration ceremony at Fuji Sanctuary. Since then it has become a tradition to celebrate the anniversaries of The Fuji Declaration at the Symphony of Peace Prayers event which is held annually at the foot of Mt. Fuji. This May marks the 8th anniversary of The Fuji Declaration and the occasion will be celebrated again during a live broadcast of Symphony of Peace Prayers from Fuji Sanctuary.
The three co-initiators of the Fuji Declaration, Ervin Laszlo, Hiroo and Masami Saionji, extend their heartfelt invitation for us to join the 8th anniversary celebration. The founding principles of The Fuji Declaration highlights the spirit of oneness and diversity which are values that are ever so needed in the world today. The principles of The Fuji Declaration will be enhanced further this year under the theme of Energizing the Cycle of Oneness as we seek Diversity through Tolerance.
