The original contains Buddhist features including a language pillar and at its heart the Kalachakra Mandala associated with world peace. Eight meditation areas surround this main monument. Four modern Western sculptures representing Air, Fire, Earth and Water have been carefully located to the north, south east and west. If this all seems a bit too much and you just want a quiet, soothing walk, head for the inner gardens which are scented with herbs, jasmine, <a title="honeysuckle" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/honeysuckle/">honeysuckle</a> and roses. An outlying landscaped area is also great for ambling around.<br /> There is now a circular paved space surrounded by double rows of Hornbeam Carpinus Betulus and a number of Betula ermanii and B. Utilis in numbers important to the Buddhists and the concept of peace and tranquility. 6,7,8,12,16,21,37 & 49.</p> <p><strong>The International Peace Garden</strong> dedicated in 1932 is devoted to World Peace.
