I Find Peace Like This
Peace Revolution European Fellowship 2014 edition, a 7 days Meditation Retreat for European Youth, took place in Lede, Belgium at Wat Phra Dhammakaya Benelux.
“Just let go. The less we want the more we get.”
“Once you dream the inner dream you’ll never dream again.”
In my residence, there were always some birds trying to build nests. Initially we didn’t mind having them around. But later on, they continue to appear more and more. They started to make our windows dirty and smelly. As much as we wanted to hear them sing, we needed them to return to nature. There were plenty of trees outside but we couldn’t just simply yell at them and say “Hey, go back to the trees, will you”? They wouldn’t understand.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has,” reckons Margaret Mead. The Amani Revolution Tour is the living proof of Mead’s belief. Between the 28th of March and the 30th of April, young leaders from six African countries came together, united by their commitment to transforming the ideal of building sustainable world peace into a tangible reality.
An african people once asked me what I was impressed the most coming to Africa.
For me, the things that impressed me were not wild animals, safari, nature or any things or sort.
