The Peace Revolution Project was started in 2008 when someone pretty cool decided to start talking to the world about what he believed: Inner Peace can lead to World Peace, if people could just learn how to find inner peace for themselves! He got together with some other people who believed the same thing... and, well, here we are!

So... we have invented what we think is a chill way to have some fun with inner peace... aka meditation. We taped some meditation experts and you can check them out on MP3s; you can learn more about what inner peace really is; you can take a few fun quizzes; and then, if you want to get serious, you can do an on-line self-development program. You can even post questions on our Peace Wall for our online community. So hang back, and cruise the site. It's the best place to be.

PEACE IN SCHOOLS

OPS Name

PEACE IN SCHOOLS

Why this OPS?

The reason why have chosen this ops is that most times students and pupils are left out in every thing people do, because they think there younger some think they cant do any thing, but i have found out that students are the next generation which needs to know more about peace so that they will spread to the nation.

Objectives

My objectives is i want to see in future there is PEACE IN UGANDA & GOODWILL TO ALL MANKIND. Many people will consider that this is but a pipedream, Yes it is idealistic, but it is what the vast majority of Ugandans population want. They don?t want to continue to live in dread of the next civil war or the next famine. They have a right to expect that the Ugandan elected politicians will put this subject to the top of their agenda and put money into creating peace instead of war.

How to implement it?

i would like to first say this: " A small leak in a dam can lead to a huge flood. It's quite easy to close the small leak, but to fix it later, after the flood has let loose, is almost impossible." So if our students or children in Uganda don't have peace the Nation will be in trouble and to get out in that trouble its had. I will implement this OPS in the way that am going to visit some schools in rural areas and some in urban areas so that i teach them about peace and how can some body be in peace what are the importance of having inner and out peace. I will let them know about meditating and i will led them in the season of meditating while explaining for them the techniques we use while doing meditating also i will show them how position them selves when there going to meditate.After that i will also explain to there teachers so that also can practice and be the example for this young generation. i will provide for them the mp3 to guide them while practice meditating and i will do a translation of those mp3 in the local language they understand better so that they practice very well, i will be visiting them some time and monitor there progress and to answer any question they want to ask me.that's how am going to implement this project starting next week.

Benefits

I want to see the younger generation talk about peace in their home speak peace in society and community (PEACE) because there are many problems on which we need PEACE (e.g. wars,murder,child abuse). I think that the first thing we have to teach our future children is love because love makes peace and there is no peace without love. To be in peace we have to love each other.

Great project Rogers! Very interesting & inspiring!

I like your idea that students are the next generation which need to know about peace so that they will spread it to the nation.

And you've done it! All pictures showed that your activities were very interesting & the children seem to enjoy it. The best thing is that you'll be going back & do the IPT with them again.

SEVEN SIMPLE STEPS TO INNER PEACE:

Inner peace is the most valuable thing that we can cultivate. Nobody can give us inner peace, at the same time it is only our own thoughts that can rob us of our inner peace. To experience inner peace we don’t have to be in the hall; we can experience inner peace right now, exactly where we are. The most important criteria is to value the importance of inner peace. If we really value inner peace, we will work hard to make it a reality.

1. Choose carefully where we spend time.

If you are a news addict and spend an hour reading newspapers everyday, our mind will be agitated by the relentless negativity we see in the world. It is true, that we can try to detach from this negativity. But, in practice ,we will make our progress easier if we don’t spend several hours ruminating over the problems of the world. If you have a spare 15 minutes, don’t just automatically switch on the TV or surf the internet. Take the opportunity to be still or at least do something positive. The problem is the mind feels insecure unless it has something to occupy it. However, when we really can attain a clear mind we discover it creates a genuine sense of happiness and inner peace.

2. Control of Thoughts.

It is our thoughts that determine our state of mind. If we constantly cherish negative and destructive thoughts, inner peace will always remain a far cry. At all costs, we need to avoid pursuing trains of negative thoughts. This requires practice. – We cannot attain mastery of our thoughts over night. But, at the same time we always have to remember that we are able to decide which thoughts to follow and which to reject. Never feel you are a helpless victim to your thoughts.

3. Simplify Your Life

Modern life, places great demands on our time. We can feel that we never have enough time to fulfill all our tasks. However, we should seek to minimize these outer demands. Take time to simplify your life; there are many things that we can do without, quite often we add unnecessary responsibilities to our schedule. Do the most significant tasks, one at a time, and enjoy doing them. To experience inner peace, it is essential to avoid cluttering our life with unnecessary activities and worries.

4. Spend time to cultivate inner peace.

Every day we spend 8 hours a day to earn money, can we not find time to spend 15 minutes to cultivate inner peace? No matter how much money we earn, it cannot bring us inner peace, but, if we spend 15 minutes on meditation and relaxation techniques inner peace can become a possibility. Meditation does not just mean sitting still for 30 minutes; in meditation we seek to experience a state of consciousness which is flooded with inner peace. To experience this inner peace we cannot allow any thought to enter into our mind. True inner peace occurs when we can transcend the world of thoughts.

“You cannot buy peace; you must know how to manufacture it within, in the stillness of your daily practices in meditation.”

5. Be immune to Flattery and Criticism

If we depend on the opinions and praise of other people, we can never have inner peace. Criticism and flattery are two sides of the same coin. They are both the judgments of others. However, we should not allow ourselves to be affected by either. When we do, we feed the ego. We should learn to have confidence in ourselves. This does not mean we will love ourselves in an egotistical way, it means we value our real self and have belief in the good qualities that are part of everyone.

6. Be Active selflessly

Inner peace does not mean that we have to live a life of a hermit. Inner peace, can be felt amidst dynamic activity. But, this action should be done with selfless motives. When we serve others we forget our sense of self, and it is when we forget our limited self that we can have inner peace.

7. Avoid Criticizing Others

If we want inner peace, we should feel that our inner peace depends on the well being of others. If we are indifferent to the feelings of others, then it is impossible to have inner peace for ourselves. What we give out comes back. If you offer a peaceful attitude to others this is what we will see return.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ACTS OF SELF DISCIPLINE:

Self discipline is the ability to reject instant gratification in favor of something better. It is the giving up of instant pleasure and satisfaction for a higher goal. It gives you the power to follow your decisions, stick to them and not change your mind too often, and therefore be able to reach your goals.

Self discipline enables you to follow actions, thoughts and behavior, which lead to improvement and success. It also gives you the power and inner strength to overcome addictions, procrastination and laziness and to persevere in whatever you do.

Contrary to common belief, self-discipline is not a severe and limited behavior or a restrictive lifestyle. It is a very useful inner power, which enables one to persevere and not give up, in spite of failure and setbacks. It grants its possessor self control, and the ability to resist temptations and distractions that tend to stand in the way of attaining aims and goals. In fact, it is one of the most important pillars of real and stable success.

The possession of this power leads to self confidence and self esteem, and consequently to happiness, satisfaction and real strength.

Lack of self discipline may lead to failure to reach goals, even minor ones, and to loss, health and relationships problems, obesity and other troubles.

Life often presents challenges and problems on the path to success and achievement. To rise above them, one needs to display perseverance, persistence and self discipline. To cure and overcome eating disorders, addictions, smoking, drinking, obsessions and other negative habits one also requires self discipline.

This ability is also of vital importance for studying any subject, developing any skill or walking on the paths of self improvement, spiritual growth and meditation.

Everyone knows the importance and benefits of self discipline, but very few take real steps to develop and strengthen it. Self discipline can be strengthened and developed like any other skill. There are exercises anyone can do to train this power.

Peace

Give me peace I won't cry anymore

I want peace in my feelings
Cloth me in white
The color of peace.

Peace is what happens when all people are free to develop themselves in the way they want, without having to fight for their rights.

ATTENTION ON PEACE

"Whatever we give attention to, enhance in our life".

Just see where our attention is? Are we focusing only corruption, deficiencies, robbery, dacoity, murders, terrorism, natural disasters etc.in life.

Now it time to shift our attention to Peace, Love, Faith, Trust, Unity, social Initiatives and positive happenings.
