Mission Statement

Nakashima Foundation for Peace:

Our mission is to maintain the architecture and the collection of furniture George Nakashima designed and built on his New Hope, Pennsylvania property.  To study, uphold, and perpetuate the great spiritual traditions he embraced and integrated into his work, especially that of Sri Aurobindo, Zen Buddhism, and Christian monasticism.  To build Altars of Peace and send them to all parts of the world as ecumenical seeds of Peace planted for all humankind.
