An exercise to make
the world larger

For a period of time of your own choosing – a day, a week, a month, a year – make an effort to get to know a culture that is not your own.  Pick a country, a religion, a language that is unknown to you at present.  Enter into it, even if only from your own home.

           Here are some ideas:

• Learn at least a few words in the language of the culture (perhaps especially words of greeting, or words of peace)
• Listen to music from that culture
• Look for a book, magazine, or video that would bring you into that world
• Do some internet research to see what is going on within that culture or country or religion
• Let us know of any wonderful stories you uncover; send them to peace@livingcompassion.org.
