SOCIAL MOVEMENTS


SOCIAL MOVEMENTS

Unity Compassion Equality

Leaders and participants must cultivate an

atmosphere of peace and civility which is only possible

when they have peace within themselves.


PEACEFUL RESISTANCE

Contrary to the stereotype of “peacefulness” as “passivity,” once you awaken to the reality of the present moment, and you become conscious

of your connection to the rest of humanity, you are naturally more empathetic towards the plight of your fellow man.

Inner Peace = Inner Strength




“If we do not know how to take care of ourselves and to love ourselves, we cannot take care of the people we love. Loving oneself is the foundation for

loving another person.”


“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
