Peace begins with the openness and generosity of a smile. And so we are all able, every day, to be peace and to create peace. Sometimes, peace requires extraordinary courage, breathtaking courage. Every day in every country people are performing such heroic acts of peacemaking. All these acts and moments of peacemaking, large and small, are the glue that holds the world together.
When we open the international Center for Peace in Assisi, Italy, we will tell these stories. But you don’t have to wait for the doors of that Center to open; click on the image to the right to find yourself in our Virtual Center. Read stories of compassion and courage and generosity and friendship and awareness and big hearts. These tales are against no one and no thing. They are told to inspire, not to promote a position or an agenda.
In addition to the stories, you will find practices and meditations which you can use to deepen your own inner peace.
All of these stories, practices, offerings have moved and touched us. We simply want to share them. And we would be most happy to have you send us stories, teachings and practices that have moved and touched you. You may send them to peace@livingcompassion.org. |
