Sunday, December 21, 2025, let us all come together to celebrate the World Meditation Day, promoted by the United Nations. This event was part of the celebration of the World Meditation Day.
The Zen Kannon Meditation Center opens its doors to all neighbors, newcomers, and long-time practitioners to share a space of silence, connection, and inner awakening.
Outdoor meditation
Shortly before 11:00 a.m., we were already seated on the grass of Parc de la Ciutadella, together with practitioners from Brahma Kumaris and individual meditators. Thus, we began the World Meditation Day celebration with an outdoor meditation, each in their own way.
The weather was favorable: the sun shone brightly, and some water birds came to greet us after days of heavy rain. The calm and pleasant surroundings of Parc de la Ciutadella made it an unforgettable experience, one we will surely repeat. Outdoor meditation allows us to reconnect with the body, the breath, and the present moment, and highlights the universal dimension of the practice. The resolution of the United Nations General Assembly notes that meditation can contribute to the physical and mental well-being of all people.
The day was conceived as an open and welcoming celebration, making visible that meditation is an element of connection with citizens, with nature, and of shared peace. Together we celebrated World Meditation Day in the heart of Barcelona, for world peace, harmony among beings, and the health and happiness of everyone.

The merits of this meditation were dedicated to the victims of wars, with the hope that it may bring them comfort and that peace may return to the world.
