World Peace through Inner Peace
">
Men who seek peace have long
debated how world peace should begin. They examine diverse environmental
factors such as ecology, food supply, medicine access, laws, nuclear weapons
limitation, treaties, technology, political stability, the economy, society and
poverty.

">
Despite such close and detailed examination, they fail to notice that
the origin of peace is much
more intimate than any of those
factors they have studied. The starting point of peace is within
"> them. The dream of world peace
will never come true if the dreamer is unable to find his or her own inner
contentment. Once everyone experiences inner happiness, true world peace will
occur. When the defilements in the hearts of humankind are totally eliminated,
things that were once beyond our imagination, like world peace, are suddenly
possible and within reach. All it takes is to accomplish that first step –
which is to practice meditation to experience the source of inner happiness. This
knowledge is as ancient as the human race.

Happiness from within can be
attained by quietly stilling the mind at the centre of one’s body. The deeper
you sink into this peace and calm found at the centre of each of us, the more
it expands outwards to our loved
ones, family, friends, society, and so forth without limits – like
">
"> the sun that radiates its
brilliance throughout the universe. If everyone meditated, the result will be magnified;
encircling entire countries and even the whole world. Imagine a world of peace.
The police, soldiers and criminal justice system will no longer be necessary
when all we feel towards one another is joy and friendship. War, terrorism
greed and ignorance are eradicated.

World peace begins with us. It
does not require money, international scheme or treaties to execute this plan
of peace. It starts by first bringing our mind to a standstill, then spreading
it out to the world. Every good thing begins with us when we still our mind in
the centre of the body at the seventh base. When our minds are at peace, the
process of achieving world peace will not be difficult.
