DILI, 06 february 2025 (TATOLI) – Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run, the world’s largest peace torch relay, will hold the 5K Peace Run, in Timor-Leste’s capital Dili, on february 7.

Wilson said “The objective of Peace Run is really to share the message of peace, harmony, love, and happiness” to family, the community, and the world.”
“The word peace is not something we can wait for, but it is something that each one of us has to take a decision to be the best that we can be. And if we do the best that we can, then we will inspire others,” Wilson stressed.
He urged Timorese people to spread peace just by being kind, encouraging, loving, and loving others: “That changes the world.”
Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run team arrived in Dili on 5 February and will leave the country on 8 February.
