The New England Peace Pagoda is a peace pagoda located in Leverett, Massachusetts. It was the first Nipponzan-Myōhōji peace pagoda to be built in the United States. The peace pagoda is tied to Buddhism's Nichiren tradition, and more specifically to the Nipponzan-Myōhōji order, which was founded in 1917 by Nichidatsu Fujii. In response to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Fujii began constructing pagodas around the world to encourage peace in 1947. In 1982, the order held a series of peace walks to New York City to the United Nations special session on disarmament. One of the peace walks passed through western Massachusetts, and the area was identified as a potential site for a peace pagoda. More information...
