Dear brothers and sisters around the world,
I recently heard someone remind me of something I once said to them and that is: “We can’t fight for Peace in the World.”
Fight and Peace don’t even belong in the same sentence. When we fight we become the very war that we are trying to stop. Because, we can only achieve Peace by ceasing all types of wars.
These can be wars within ourselves; with our constant insecurities, doubts and fears. They can be wars with neighbours over an overgrown plant. They can be wars against multi national corporations that are poisoning our planet and our minds. These can be destructive wars where men, women, children and animals die.
You see when we strip away the ego, and the labels we attach ourselves so rigidly to, there are no nationalities, no possessions, no anything and take away the physical body, we are all exactly the same beings of energy.
The only difference between us, as energetic beings, is the frequency we vibrate at. Perhaps this is why there is so much misunderstanding in the world. If we all did our best to try and reach another person’s vibrational energy, while still keeping our own intact, we would learn to, temporarily, understand each other. In other words, we would adapt to each other.
If we practiced this capacity of adaptation every day, over a period of time it would become second nature. When something is second nature, it comes naturally; without even trying. Eventually, Peace would prevail automatically because we would all make an effort to understand each other.
Peace comes from seeds of Love, Kindness and Compassion (as His Holiness the Dalai Lama quite rightfully says.) If we are busy loving, there will be no fighting. Our energy will be too busy creating instead of destructing.
But, it takes one person to make the first move in the attempt to understand. It takes one person to listen. It takes one person to apologise and one person to adapt their frequency. This is placing others first. In doing so, we will ultimately reap great rewards.
The Divine blesses us, and our lives, with exactly what we plant in the seeds of our actions in the world. If you fight you will be fought, if you love you will be loved. Only in Love can we create Peace.

We are all one people
I have walked among black people, white people, yellow people, beige people, blue people and, when I sailed on the ships, some very green looking people. I have mingled with billionaires and I have dined with those who had nothing to give - yet they gave me everything.
While travelling around the world working, I slept in some of the finest hotel beds. I have also shared the floor with beautiful nuns with whom I shared heart-warming conversations. Yet, not a single word was spoken. Nobody spoke English and I was the only foreign woman in a temple as big as Buckingham Palace.
I have lived among Jewish people and I have lived with Muslims. I have lived with Catholics and Christians. I have been to Tibet to see His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s Homeland. I also lived in China. In both countries and among both Tibetan people and Chinese people, I learned more than I could have ever possibly imagined.
I have been to Europe. I have lived in the Middle East. I have been to Africa and America. I have been to Russia and next I am going to Greece.
I have worshipped in churches. I have kneeled in Cathedrals. I went to the Vatican and I stood hugging The Tree of Life in Bahrain. I stood in awe of Temples and Mosques. I sat for some time with Shamans and Witches. I walked among the finest physicians and the simplest of people living in remote areas, with no schooling, who had such great knowledge of Healing Plants.
I have befriended highly educated people and people who had no schooling at all. I have walked among the dead and the dieing.
Do you know what differences I, truly, saw between us? - None.
We are all Human Beings. We are all Beings made of Energy and Matter.
We are all brothers and sisters who just have a different way of saying, and doing, things.

Two People acting wrongfully do not create one person acting rightfully-
My dear children,
We harvest, from life, what we plant in life. And, what we take care of, in life, is what we really want to see grow.
Sometimes we plant some seeds and they grow beautifully, and at other times, we plant seeds and they die before they even sprout. Why? Because some we take care of more than others.
We can’t plant any seed and expect it to grow without giving it water and looking after it.
Even if it manages to sprout, the plant cannot survive in the blazing heat without any water.
In the same way, as the plant, we can’t plants the seeds of indifference and expect to harvest concern. If we want concern, we have to show it. If we want people to care, we have to care.
There are many feuds in the world, much arguing, too many political stances and far too many opinions. Yet, for all the opinions in the world, there are very few that “actually” matter because, nowadays, too few are formulated by the Heart and too many formulated by the ego.
Every life is Divine but Human life is exceptionally precious. It is a testimony to the incredible creation of Love. It is, in a way, our personal identifier in this world. Anyone who knows me and whispers my name, in silence, to someone else, knows what I look like; even if I am not there.
As a flower, I do not cease to exist if I do not appear for centuries. My legend carries on long after I have lost my bloom.
In this way, every Human Being deserves acknowledgement for their existence. No Human Being deserves to be ignored or treated with dismissal; especially not one that offers love. In Buddhism, there is a very strong message that says: "Every human life has value."
Sometimes, it may be a little harder than others, to distinguish what purpose some human lives have here, but they all have a purpose because they are all our teachers. We benefit, from them, by learning the things “not to do” just as much as the “things to do.” We can learn patience from those who challenge us. We can learn compassion from those who are merciless with us.
We can love our neighbours and neighbouring countries. There is no such thing as an enemy. It is an illusion; created to keep us all apart. It is a distraction from discovering that we all share the same things in common. We laugh, we love, we cry, we bleed. We are all only Human Beings. We are all on a journey. We are all just doing the best that we can with the knowledge we have.
Although, they are suppose to be representative of a nation, we cannot judge a country’s people by the few who make it into the limelight. Nor can we judge people by their politicians. Every story has two sides. It’s time we listened to both sides and not just our own.
If we want our neighbours and our neighbouring countries to show us compassion, we must show it first. We need to take the responsibility of doing the right thing. Two people acting wrongly will never make one person acting rightfully. So, we need to lead the way and set the example of what love truly is, what compassion truly is and what kindness really means.
Mahatma Ghandi said: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” This is what he meant, put out into the world that which you wish to receive back. Jesus Christ said: Turn the other cheek” ... (should someone strike you) but he didn’t mean let them strike you again. He meant show them another way. The way of love.
Anger can never calm anger just like a fire can never put out a fire. Be the water to put out the fire. Don’t be the fuel that adds to it.
The dark can only remain dark until we shine a light in it. We cannot wait for others to shine that light. We have to become the light.
Even if you can never make peace with your neighbour, you can still show compassion by not causing them any harm. If you do no harm, no harm shall come to you.
Find peace in your Hearts dear ones.
Find Peace.
