"This photo was taken in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I was there to attend the World Youth Buddhist Symposium, and near a thousand participants holding a Lotus candle walking around the wooden tower. We sing together to pray for peace in every person in the world. When the sound and lights come together, I was just amazed by the power of belief."
