'A Visible Form of Prayer'

The sign in the parking lot says that the Pagoda is a visible form of prayer - just like the monks walking and chanting and drumming I suppose.  Prayer for peace as a means to form intention and affect a metanoia is certainly important.  I think what might be equally important is to be visible.  I find it all too easy to forget about peace, and not just peace writ large in the world, but peaceful action and thought within the confines of my tiny life (exspecially during the ironically-named "holiday season").  I welcome and need the reminders that places like the Peace Pagoda provide.
