The Path to Global Peace Through Meditation : หน้า 21/50

the centre of our bodies. Through this universal meditation practice, we will obtain the answers on our own about the true meaning of peace, where it is located and how we can attain it. Once we acquire wisdom through meditation, we will come to the same understanding about the futility of wars and weapons of mass destruction. Gone will be the need for hundreds of pages of multilateral written agreements. There will only be people who speak and act honestly. The need to attend the various international peace conferences will lessen, freeing valuable resources for other worthy programmes. Are we ready to embark on this journey together to attain all the benefits of meditation? As we deepen our inner happiness through meditation, we will start to think, speak and act in harmony because our level of understanding and wisdom will increase. We will understand this when our minds are still. For that reason, a peace prize should be awarded to everyone who has attained inner peace, for they will feel only love and kindness for humanity, and they can be a source of peace for those around them – like a candle illuminating the darkness in the night; like the sun reflecting its warm radiance against other stars, big or small, near or far. Creating a world filled with happiness through meditation is the noblest of all goals. We need to encourage as many people as possible to practice meditation in their lives, and then spread its wondrous benefits to every corner of the earth. The moment when all the people of the world meditate in this special position – the Peace Position – will be the moment humanity make world peace happen.
