For Peace

"If we are peaceful,

if we are happy,

we can smile and blossom like a flower, and

everyone in our family, our entire society,

will benefit from our peace."

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Uniting is the beginning..!!

Understanding that we are united in a common goal of peace on earth is the beginning of establishing a new era of peace. The next step is to work together for peace.

A balance of Four paths to peace..!!
There are 4 paths that people for peace must follow to bring peace on earth. Two of these are the ways of the peacemakers and two are the ways of the peaceworkers. Each of the four paths is important in the lives of every one of us. But each of us will find the right balance of the four paths of peace for our lives.

We must all be peacemakers..!!
For there to be peace, we must all be peacemakers. Peacemaking is a way of life, a way of thinking that is integrated into our daily lives. It is striving to use every interaction as a chance to spread peace and build bonds of friendship and community, no matter where we are or what we are doing.

Peace of mind is the key..!!
To be effective peacemakers we must have peace of mind. We can only help make our lives and our world more peaceful, when we ourselves feel peace. And so the second path of the peacemaker is to seek and maintain inner peace.

We must also work for peace..!!
We must also be peaceworkers -- actively working for peace, in order for peace on earth to come in our time. Some will choose to submerge their lives in working for peace and compassion. But for most of us there are little things that we can do in our daily lives as peaceworkers. Every act that shares peace and compassion is important as we move forward together. THERE ARE NO SMALL ACTS OF COMPASSION. Every victory for peace brings us all closer to peace on earth.

Spread peace & compassion..!!
The two paths of the peaceworker are to do good works to help ease human suffering and build new bridges of peace and understanding; and to spread the message that peace is important, so that it will become part of the values and goals of society.

Peacemaking is a way of life..!!
Each of the four paths of peace is important. All must be walked upon to bring peace on earth. All become part of our lives when we choose a life of peace.
