On November 6, 2004 The Buddhist Peace Fellowship released a statement concerning the 2004 Election. "The 2004 U.S. presidential election has finally come to an end. Some of us are deeply unhappy about the outcome and others are rejoicing. Many people have mixed feelings. All of us cherish the same dream of safety and happiness, but our fears, beliefs, and the compelling delusions of the American political spectacle blind us to our true connection to each other. However we may feel, though, we take heart from the great outpouring of civic energy throughout this election year."
