ABOUT WORLD PEACE PRIZE
World Peace Prize is
an initiative to promote worldpeace and understanding between different
nations, ethnicities, cultures and religions. The WorldPeace Prize is a
prestigious award presented by the World Peace Corps Mission, an
international Evangelical missionary organization founded by Hon. Robert
Leggett and Dr. Han Min Su. Since its establishment in 1989,
the World Peace Prize has been awarded to individuals contributing to
the causes of world peace by preventing regional conflicts or world war;
by settling the disputes of political, diplomatic and economic matters;
and by developing new inventions to minimize threats and confusions
within mankind. The World Peace Prize Awarding Council operates
according to the core spirit of advancing peace and justice and
inter-religious collaborations. Past recipients include President Ronald
Reagan of the United States, President Abdurrahman Wahid of Indonesia,
and President Kuniwo Nakamura of Palau; amongst others.
Since
its inception, World Peace Prize celebration has always been held in
the recipient’s country of residence. Breaking precedence, the award
presentation is being held here in the Capitol of the United States.
TOP HONOR PRIZE
Top
Honor Prize is the highest recognition presented by
the World Peace Prize Awarding Council. Historically, it has been
presented to eminent world leaders who are vanguards of bringing people
from disparate backgrounds together, working towards the common goal
of peace. Today, we are honoring H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and Hon. Benjamin A. Gilman:

H.H. DORJE CHANG BUDDHA III,
recognized by the WorldPeace Prize Awarding Council for his selfless
devotion to an immensely wide scope of healing and rescue-relief
activities directed at people from different communities throughout
the world. His wisdom and benevolence embrace all races, ethnicities,
cultures and religions: bringing kindness, peace and equality to all.
Wherever he goes, His Holiness brings unity amongst people through his
own humility and compassion. His continual contributions to humanity
have proven to be a living example of the benevolent spirit of Buddha,
setting a model of humanitarian practices for all to emulate.
His
Holiness is also a distinguished artist. Through his teachings and
practices, art and poetry, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has pointed out a
bright path of non-violence, charity and love for humanity. His

HON BENJAMIN A. GILMAN,
recognized by the World Peace Prize Awarding Council for being a
life-long champion of human rights: fighting world hunger, narcotic
abuse and trafficking. He has made many successful efforts to bring
about “prisoner exchanges” which resulted in freedom of American
citizens in East Germany, Mozambique, Cuba and several other nations.
Congressman Gilman served 15 terms (30 years) in the U.S. Congress.
Prior to that, he served 6 years in the New York State Legislature as

a world without hunger” and has annually received the “Peace Through
Strength” Award presented by the American Security Council.
