Transform Our Perspective

We are committed to the principle of nonviolence, guided by the teachings of love and compassion. This commitment challenges us in three significant ways: we must refuse to engage in acts of war, work to eliminate the root causes of conflict, and actively promote peace through love and understanding. Recognizing the inherent dignity within every person can be difficult, especially in times of strife. We are called to transform our perspective, allowing ourselves to feel empathy for those who suffer from injustice and oppression. Our journey toward inner peace is not about passivity; it requires courageous action. Despite the challenges we face, we strive to remain steadfast, open to love and beauty, and dedicated to healing a world that is often marred by violence and division.

May we embody nonviolence and love,
courageously healing our world and
honoring the dignity in every person.

(inspired by Jean Zaru, Occupied with Nonviolence)
