A Centre: where?
Benefits for the surroundings
--

THIS WILL BE THE FIRST CENTRE in Italy based on the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, one of the best-loved Masters in the world. The zone in which the Centre is sited will benefit from a high profile and become a landmark for all those people in Italy who cultivate a culture of peace.
The existence of the Centre and its schedule of events will be publicized through different means, including magazines and websites in different languages.
The Centre will be responsible for keeping local authorities informed of the activities devoted to specific professional categories, and will hope for their support and contribution to ensure that the largest number of people living in the area and interested in those fields could be able to attend and benefit from these experiences.
Regular visits by renowned Buddhist masters may be an occasion for local organizations to become involved and arrange conferences and events open to the local population.
Other forms of interaction between the Centre and the local area are also being studied, for example, specific training and service activities. In all cases these activities will be based on the practice of mindfulness and make use of experiences and skills that have already been proven in the community of Italian practitioners.
The Italian Order of Interbeing, which promotes and runs the Essere Pace project, intends to create harmonious and positive relationships with local religious groups and institutions, and fully expects to encourage and host meetings and events for interdenominational dialogue.
