For much of late September, the road to the eastern gateway of Rangoon's revered Shwedagon pagoda was a sea of maroon and saffron robes, as hundreds of Buddhist monks gathered to march in protest against Burma's military government.
Now, two weeks after the junta brutally cracked down on the pro-democracy demonstrations, the small monasteries that line both sides of the road are mostly locked and empty, while wooden barricades and bales of rusted…

DALITS IN INDIA
A CHALLENGE BEFORE MISSION
Who are Dalits?
The word Dalit is derived from the root dal, and that gives meanings as crack, open, slit, etc. As noun and adjective the Sanskrit root gives meanings as burst, split, broken or torn asunder, downtrodden, scattered, crushed, destroyed, etc. A Marathi social reformer Mahatma Jyotirao Phule used this word Dalit, to describe outcastes and untouchables as victims of caste-ridden society. It has been believed that Dr.…

This video BLOG was shot mostly in NYC (Astoria, Queens). A place on earth where members from all races, colors & creeds have managed to live together in beautiful peace. I lived there for 8 years and while there learned how
UNIMPORTANT it is to agree with those whose beliefs are different. The need to agree is selfish and narrow minded. Accepting those with opposing beliefs is the sign that what we believe is healthy.
I started this song, "ON OUR WAY BACK HOME" in…

Peace is not just a word, peace is not just a sound, peace is not just a dream, peace is a world, is a concept, is an entity and he needs a space to be experienced by us humans, to become presence.
The word peace (shalom) in Hebrew is based on the root "Whole" (shalem). It can be viewed also as the numeral 1 (one). If you divide one to as many parts as you wish they will all be carrying the number 1 as their common denominator.
As long as humans won't accept their identity…

Hi,
Within the next link, you'll find (and hopefully read) a short article (about 1 page) I've published to promote peace... in the middle east.

My heart is filled with sorrow as more and more information is coming in about the atrocities in Gaza. Here in Norway a doctor is sending out eye-witness reports about how horrible the situation is. Will it ever end?
The conflict seem to be without an end.
We as outstanders have sympathy with both sides. Horrible things have been done against both peolples, and I do not think they will ever be able to solve this conflict by themselves. Too many hard feelings are…

A new year, 32 days to set the tone, I'll be keeping a blog on trying to live life mindfully. 2009 is a year of transitions, changing old patterns, re-arranging them without forcing them.
2008 brought so many changes, the most important ones after I had an accident that literally threw me out of a depression I was allowing myself to sink in deeper and deeper. I gave up many a resistance, I am now more conscious of the ones I am still holding on too. I'm changing my old patterns, I'm…

.trust in God for God is the source of all joy..
The Master Number "11," is the number of the Cosmic Christ. It is Christ within us, living AS US.
The 11 is also known as the psychics number, it's the most intuitive of all numbers and it represents illumination and deep insight. The 11 is also very sensitive, charismatic and inspirational.
It acts as a channel for information between the higher and the lower. In order…

Last year on my birthday, Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in Pakistan. This year on my birthday, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) began bombing targets in Gaza to stop the rain of rockets falling on Southern Israel since the end of the ceasefire with Hamas on December 19. I wonder what next year's birthday will bring.
Technically, it is arguable that the incursion into Gaza can be called a war, as it is not a conflict between two countries but rather one country and a political-military…

Llevamos varios días clamando por la paz en Gaza, pero parece que nadie nos escucha. Hoy caerán muchas personas inocentes, palestinos, israelies, que se ven envueltos en un conflicto que nadie desea. Probablemente gentes sencillas como los que escribimos en estos foros, que solo aspiramos a vivir en paz y comer todos los días.
Mi pensamiento apenado por esta guerra, especialmente está con un buen amigo, nacido en Israel, de ascendencia… Continue

If Obama is truly sincere about his vision for massive change and creating a society, and therefore an example, of a society that is self -sustaining, environmentally conscious and promotes peace rather than war, it can be done. There are enough people now on the planet that understand the wisdom of changing our ways to a peaceful society. It will require making changes in our own personal lives. There will be some discomfort, but the the other way is a dead-end - literally. So, really, there…

I blame Hamas for the current war.
Would anyone - even the most peace-loving person - agree to stand by as rockets land nearby every day, perhaps killing your child or your neighbor's child.
Hamas militants have launched 3,000 rockets into Israel over the past year.
Members of the Hamas government who want peace should be brave enough to stop those who are launching rockets.
Yes there is lots of history - on both sides. But peace will never come to…

iPeace prides itself on being a free space for sharing ideas, opinions and information.
But we have and uphold certain standards. We will not allow posting of explicit horror images of war. We don't need to see it to realize that war is horrific.
We understand also that emotions in these days are running high. But we will not tolerate personal attacks between members.
We ask you to help us in keeping the
iPeace space civilized and report to…

"For the conductor, a song of David.
May the Lord answer you on a day of distress; may the name of the God of Jacob fortify you.
May He send your aid from His sanctuary, and may He support you from Zion.
May He remember all your meal offerings and may He accept your fat burnt offerings forever.
May He give you as your heart, and may He fulfill all your counsel.
