The Buddhist Path to World Peace

"Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be achieved unless we first establish peace within our own minds." ~Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

A peaceful, loving heart creates a peaceful, harmonious world. This observation points to something profound: that there is no actual world outside our perception of the world. The world we see is perceived solely through our own individual lens. Therefore, if we change our mind, we really do change our world. And since our world intersects with the experiences of our family, friends and wider community, changing both our inner and outer world has the potential to profoundly influence those around us. This is why an authentically peaceful world must begin in an authentically peaceful heart.

In this timely course, Kelsang Nyema will explore through talks and guided meditations this essential topic. She will introduce us to a special prayer composed by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso: “Prayers for World Peace”. Understanding our own power to influence and change our world is immensely uplifting. It enables us to let go of our helplessness and passivity in the face of the suffering around us and instead empowers us to immerse ourselves fully in the process of inner and outer transformation.
