World Peace Bell Nalanda

In 2008 LBDFI began a negotiation with the ASI to install a great Dharma Bell at the entrance to the ancient site of Nalanda. Permission was granted to install a bell directly opposite the entrance to the archaeological site, on the grounds of the museum which contains many artifacts from the ancient university.

World Peace Bell Rajgir

Following the opening of the Nalanda bell, LBDFI approached the Fuji Gurugi order of Japan who installed the Vishwashanti stupa above Vultures Peak in Rajgir, to see if a World Peace Bell could be installed on their land. Permission was eventually granted to install a bell directly overlooking the peak, and the two and one half tonne bell was hauled up the mountain by pulleys and erected in 2009. The Governor of Bihar attended the opening ceremony.
