The recipe for world peace
from Mindfulness Classes With Oli Doyle
The recipe for world peace is simple, and it does not involve any complex geopolitical solutions. We just need to breathe. Well, breathe and be aware anyway. If you learn to do this, even in the midst of great anger and suffering, peace will begin to emerge. And when your world is peaceful, those around you will certainly be drawn in. So when anger threatens to take over, we must remember: "Self and others are not two separate things, because the suffering, hope and anger of both sides is very much the same. When we get angry, we suffer. If you really understand that, you also will be able to understand that when the other person is angry, it means she is suffering." Thich Nhat Hanh Today, I invite you to join me in a place of compassion, peace and deep empathy.
