"Peace", as it is defined by Pathways to Peace, is both an innate state of being and a dynamic, evolutionary process. Peace begins with ourselves, living in harmony with one another, the Earth and all Circles of Life. PTP's operating principle-in-action is:

Acting in concert, we do make a difference in the quality of our lives, our institutions,
our environment and our planetary future. Through cooperation,
we manifest the essential spirit that unites us amidst our diverse ways.

Sunray Peace Village is an international spiritual society dedicated to planetary peace. Home fire of the Green Mountain Aniyunwiwa and a Tibetan Buddhist Dharma center of the Nyingma and Drikung Kagyu schools, Sunray is composed of three distinct schools: Native American Studies, Buddhist Studies, and Healing Arts. Sunray Practices embody three ancient intact spiritual lineages. The common thread: teaching practical means to realize compassion and right relationship with Earth and all relations.

Sunray offers ongoing programs of education, service, and spiritual training, bringing together people from all walks of life to share and apply, at individual, family, community and international levels, skillful methods of peacemaking.

The activities of Sunray touch all levels of the family of life, from individual to clan, community, nation, and planet. International activities include peace building and skillful transformation of conflict in many regions of the world.

Sunray was founded by Ven. Dhyani Ywahoo, holder of the Ywahoo lineage and chief of the Green Mountain Ani Yunwiwa. Trained by her grand parents, she is the twenty-seventh generation to carry the ancestral wisdom of the Ywahoo lineage. Charged with the duty to rekindle the fire of clear mind and right relationship in these changing times she is a guide to all, who walk the Beauty Road.
