Bahai tranquility zone

In today's interfaith society meeting, Simon organised a bahai tranquility zone with the help of 3 other friends. There were only about 6 or 7 people. A very beautiful shrine of candles etc was prepared, everyone sat around it and read out scriptures of different faiths, or simply relaxed in the spiritual atmosphere.

It sounds like a Unity Feast without the candles.

Baha'u'llah revealed a prayer for, among other things, tranquility: "Create in me a pure heart....:

In "Tablets of Baha'u'llah" p.92-93He writes about tranquility. First it is a product of the arts. Second it is a product of society granting punishment to its offenders. From easels and footlights to prisons....

Is this just for singles, or do married people drop in?

Be careful of those candles!
