NICE PIK 2 Hosts Historic “Indonesia for Peace & Prosperity” Spiritual Gathering

The Nusantara International Convention Exhibition (NICE) PIK 2 has been selected as the venue for a major spiritual event titled “Indonesia for Peace & Prosperity,” which will take place on Sunday, 25 January 2026.

This historic gathering marks a rare and meaningful moment, as three holders of the Sakya lineage throne, one of the most respected lineages in global Buddhism, will lead a joint prayer for the stability, peace, and prosperity of Indonesia.

Amid ongoing global economic challenges and widespread layoffs throughout 2025, around 4,500 Buddhist devotees from the Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana traditions will come together in unity. The main focus of the prayer is to seek economic recovery and the realization of a peaceful and prosperous Indonesia.

Distinguished Spiritual Leaders in Attendance

The event is especially significant due to the direct presence of three eminent spiritual leaders:

H.H. Kyabgon Gongma Sakya Trichen Rinpoche the 41st, aged 81
H.H. Sakya Trizin the 42nd, Ratna Vajra Rinpoche
H.H. Sakya Trizin the 43rd, Gyana Vajra Rinpoche

Messages of Peace and Compassion

During his visit, H.H. Kyabgon Gongma Sakya Trichen Rinpoche the 41st emphasized Indonesia’s important role in the world:

“Indonesia is a great nation, and spiritually, it is a very important place. Through this event, may the entire world gain peace, harmony, and happiness.”

H.H. Sakya Trizin the 42nd, Ratna Vajra Rinpoche, highlighted the importance of compassion in daily life:

“We should practice love and compassion and have a kind heart toward others. In this way, we can realize peace, harmony, and happiness.”

Meanwhile, H.H. Sakya Trizin the 43rd, Gyana Vajra Rinpoche, spoke about Indonesia’s diversity as a source of strength:

“Indonesia for Peace & Prosperity reflects the understanding that harmony is created when diversity meets wisdom. Diversity becomes a source of collective strength and shared prosperity.”

A Shared Hope for Peace

As the venue operator, NICE expressed deep honor in facilitating this interfaith and intercultural spiritual gathering. It is hoped that the collective prayers will help remove obstacles to national stability and plant seeds of peace in the hearts of people across Indonesia.
