If the peace does not start for me, not start. If I raise the flag of peace in challenge, will not be peace. We must raise the white flag with the heart of harmony, respect, compassion. If our state is of anger, of revenge, to show our strength, will not have the strength to turn violence into peace active.

We will go quiet and romantic. Let's meet and greet in the certainty that all share the same common house. It is a house so big, so different from life. It is as is. This being is interrelated and is being processed. Nothing fixed. We can direct the path of change. Let us respect in our differences. Without requiring that we become equal, that we think the same way, we have the same religion and culture. United are by air, the sky, the earth, the life and death, the dream, the utopia that is held when hearts and minds come together in the Path of Truth. We respect the differences of color of skin, of cultures, genders, the joys, sorrows of, and cures for diseases.
Journey together, it is inevitable. Together we are. Together we are in the cosmos. Interbeeing, a fantastic network of interconnections. Interdependence of moments that will never repeat. Ever. Let us make this time sacred. This place the ground, the sky, air, water and blessed life. Just change one bit. Of greed, of anger and ignorance created the share, the understanding, know the truth illuminated top.

If everything starts over, ending the season as the wars, the injustices of the famines, diseases, of sadness, of discrimination, the excluded, removed, harmful destruction of nature? End with a change of consciousness of human beings, with the development of the other to feel like me, I like the other. End when the actual return and redeem the perception that we are one living body and that of our friendly cooperation, fair, everyone can live full and dignified manner.

How many more people discover and put into practice, solutions of active non-violence for conflict, the more about social justice, the sharing of life, healing the earth, social inclusion, the preservation of nature, respect for our common home in celebration of life. Little by little, giving time to time, we brought together in a large tent overall. Not globalization licensors, and take advantage to deceive, exploit and exclude. No. The total force that unites us, the energy that permeates everything that exists, throughout the globe and the existence universally. Buddha-nature.

Forces of the strongest of all. Vital energy. Universal love.
Compassion. Com - Passion. Sharing the pain and love. By crowds of fans and ways of life and creations. Passionate about the interactive action to unite and not to separate.

I feel the pain of hungry children in Africa and children from the suburbs of big cities around the world.
I feel the sadness of those who survive the attacks of deadly weapons of war and disunity among the people.
I feel the desperation of the mother destriyed with pieces of his son in the neck.
I feel the anguish of soldiers running, killing and dying, to obey orders. I courage, peace and madness through the drugs that I may continue the fight.
I feel the grief of the nights of insomnia leaders of fools, lost in earnings, in numbers and colors, unable to open their hearts love.
I feel the despair of those who are mistreated in long queues hospital, where they can get in line, when you do not get maimed in body and mind in hospitals crowded and busy.
I feel the fatigue and fear of the impossibility of change.
I feel the sadness and bitterness. I feel the violence was triggered on my chest that is yours. Without stopping get it delivered me to knives and bullets. If you do not die in the asphalt on the earth, mouth full of ants, die in the prisons of the world, tied for insatiate desires, which are not only mine.
I feel the difficulty of judges to give the opinion fair and despair of the innocent who is guilty of being poor, to be people who have no advocates.
I feel all the pain and get ready of Moving from the pain.
But also:
I feel the pleasure of sweetened fruit mouths of healthy children in the world.
I feel the joy of the end of wars and of the union of peoples.
I hope the mother of the treatment of terminal diseases.
I feel the strength of will of the young winning the dependence on drugs and is denying the killing.
I feel the correct leadership of peaceful sleep, caring for people and their welfare.
I feel the effectiveness of public health systems and private, where the most important is life.
I see great hope in the possibilities of change.
I feel the tenderness of a gesture, a look of understanding the joys of breaking up and keep your hands open.
I feel the pleasure in learning. Learn to be satisfied.
I feel the justice of being correct, where the culprit is not stoned or dead, but put that purifies the meeting, and regret that that changes to the well.
I feel the joy of being intersection.
I feel all the joys of life and the rivers flowing, and I flow like a river.

There is no enemy. Make no mistake, no. No country.
No person. It would be so easy, so simple it was to say, he was.
So convenient to point out and shout: murderous, corrupt, thief ..
Escaping from their responsibilities of group head. Do not be fooled into saying the other good and bad. Note that we are good and evil, the light and shadow to its full potential. We make choices. But these depend on everything we are fed, all we are enabled and empowered in ourselves. By this, see well, we are all responsible.

If the threat and President Bush is preparing for a fatal attack, supported by over 60% of people from their homeland because it is taught solutions of active peace. What was the education they had, what solutions you taught? Who advises now? Why and how the elected? All this has to do. Nothing is isolated. Instead of the hate of his country despise, we are united in thought and in action of love and understanding, to experience compassion. This does not mean that we should not do anything. Quite the contrary. But the change that I speak, but powerful that wars, revolutions that internal and external is the change of heart.
When I realized that it is capable of a human being who understands and becomes a servant of peace, others thought it was revolutionary.
Now I follow the path and always wondering: How can I do to lead the largest being the lighting, the Truth and the Life in the community?

It's time of awakening of humanity.
Good morning!
There is wisdom in the correct choice of life.
Know that the three poisons feared to be avoided: greed, anger and ignorance, in their most varied disguises. Most pities, targeted and not stoned.

Do not burn flags.
Do not play rock.
Do not shout insults.
Do not condemn people, but situations.
Together we can transform the way of being of the inhabitants of Earth.
With that change the habitat.
We will do away the location, not the expected, but the reach.
Where is good.

Where life takes care of each other with care. In caress the newborn.
The blessing of hope.
Everything will be different, because all we want right here is achieved.

Let us pray and meditate, with hard work, Building and learning a new way of being.
Another world is possible where the culture of peace ..
Learning at every stage. To be more free and better.
Not that anarchic freedom and jumpy. That does not consider the whole and think only in your bookshelf.
As well saved and yellow books, maps and eaten by termite.
Our thoughts are sealed shut.

Frozen, frayed, polluted, macular. Without express
The deeper truth is forgotten, left.
The false is a growing.
Growing.
His sound embraces the world.
Everyone thinks that is the end, everything is so wrong, you can not change.
Wrong. Pause.
Turn your gaze to inside. See it carefully.
Note the link sacred.
Be it with Lord Buddha, Ramses. Iris, Prophet Mohamed, Jesus, God, Orixás, gods, spirits and embodied.
This link unites us, not divides us.
Some say that the religions create wars.
If not establish true. Rather, create solutions to non-violence and respect, love of what is right.
Let us join our lives to creating a network of well. Covering the whole earth.
Let us create this web of true perception. Recall.
Recalling the real.

We are all connected. Interconnected.
Body and mind are not two.
Image, reflection and likeness.
Shirt on the Culture of Peace
Replace Guevara by Gandhi.
Re learn to care, to change, without having to kill or die.
