While this is heart warming and all, I have to step in.
I'm Thai, and this here is the Dhammakaya temple where they don't pray for anything in particuar. They have a huge following that is strongly boycotted by the rest of the Buddhist population for preaching that nirvana can be achieved through donating large, self-robbing amount of cash I have a few relatives and many acquintances who are Dhamakaya followers, and I'll be damned if they're not collectively misguided. The money goes to dodgy ventires and gilded robes and parades. In a sense, using this as an icon i like representing Christianity with the Westboro baptists.
I checked the news and history of the temple and found no record of a million children/adults praying for peace there. Sorry to crap on your party, but I really can't sit there and let this wretched place become an icon. Not this site, not internationally.
