The Vision In March 2001, in Afghanistan, the Taliban destroyed the Buddhist statues at Bamiyan. The statues, one 53 metres high, cut into the sandstone rock were created in the 5 th century and were a symbol of the mergence of Eastern and Western culture. On the other side of the world in Brazil, a renowned Buddhist Monk, GUSTAVO PINTO, while meditating on the destruction of the statues saw the tallest statue being rebuilt twice its original height. This inspiration is now becoming reality. Gustavo has found the location of his vision in the centre of Brazil. The land has been purchased and everything is ready for the next stage, to build the Buddha and create the Land of Peace.	The Host: The ABSOLUTE symbolised in a 108 metre high statue of the Buddha - invites the different religions of the world to hold a dialogue. The Buddha will be a beacon of light , which will draw people from all over the world to see and experience. Around the Buddha will be temples and visitor facilities. Yet this initiative is not limited to, or centred on recuperating this work of art. The Land of Peace intends this Buddha to be guardian of a centre of ecumenical education where leaders of different religions can share common values and construct an example of respect and harmony between religions that the world needs today.
The Guest: Religious leaders willing to dialogue, seeking to recognise differences and discover likenesses. The land of Peace will create a Centre of Ecumenical Dialogue where leaders who are willing to meet with other religions will transmit their doctrines and share their ideas. These events will be made available to the world, in different languages, using electronic media. The work in this centre will be allied to a Centre of Education of Religious Studies, which will develop educational material on each religion.
