More background about the project

Extracted from Siddharthas intent site (link above to read in original context)

The originator of this Peace Vase project, and their principal consecrator, was His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, who passed away shortly after the consecration was completed. Khyentse Rinpoche was recognized as one of the greatest spiritual masters of this century, and was regarded as someone possessing unequalled power of prayer. This gives us confidence that the vases consecrated by him will truly be able to aid the planet, by promoting peace, harmony, and ecological soundness in the area surrounding each one of these vases.

Siddhartha's Intent aims to place these vases in every single country in the world with the prayer and intention of the
project that the vases assist in creating world peace and harmony on both a social and environmental level, in all major water bodies, in all important natural sites such as the highest mountains, largest rivers, holy and powerfull places, in all major ecologically endangered locations, and even in space.


In 1991, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche agreed to take responsibility for the project from H.H Khyentse Rinpoche and applied traditional vase placement criteria, including Tibetan Buddhist Astrology, to select the particular places on Earth for the location of 6200 treasure vases.

Eventually, along with the sincere wish to restore peace and harmony in the world, vases will be placed in the major oceans, lakes and rivers, holy places, places of war, strife and ecologically degraded or endangered natural sites.

Through individuals and coordinators in many countries, approximately 4000 vases have now been distributed to many far flung countries, with around 2000 remaining in India awaiting transfer to their destined locations.

Although so far vases have been placed in many extraordinarily remote and exotic locations there are still many difficult to access countries waiting to receive their vases.

For instance, in Croatia, the Middle East, large areas of Russia and many war torn African countries.
