Sculpture

Solarised version

The Obelisk above was designed and carved by Simon Buchanan. It is the brainchild of the School of Economic Science who own Waterperry Gardens. They commissioned the work so visitors have a greater understanding of the philosophical principles of the School by expressing a common aim of members. The obelisk is similar to those of Egyptian style and incorporates an ancient prayer traditionally recited in Sanscrit and translated into English. The structure also expresses a desire that peace should be everywhere in wording that reads:

'All be happy. All be without disease. All creatures have well-being and none should be in misery of any sort.'
