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.

Paths Of Peace

OPS Name

Paths of peace

Why this OPS?

I choose this SpecialOPS because I believe that sometime the best way to get a message through it is just listening to what others have to say.

Objectives

To measure how efficently different peace paths can create a peaceful enviorment. To introduce a "new" way of creating peace.

How to implement it?

I will invite as much people as possible that has interest in creating peace. I will ask them first to give a personal meaning to the word "peace" and then to illustrate how they pursue it. I will then explain what is the PeaceRevolution, how we want to achieve peace and the benefits that each one can have from praticing meditation.

Benefits

The people who will partecipate at this meeting(s) will have a correct information about what is the PeaceRevolution. Being a little "unorthodox" way to achieve peace for the culture and the mentality of my community, it is very important how this project is introduced, so people can understand it and hopefully spread the word out there.

Hi Fulvio,
This is great...I like what you wrote, "the best way to get a message across is just to listen"...

I have another idea for the project(hope you can use it), when you have explained the Peace Revolution to your guests, you can also invite those who would like to, to join you in some inner peace time. You have Ven. Joshua's Italian meditation mp3, right?

I think your project will be very successful as you do live in Italy's city of peace!

I gave a small questionary with this four questions:
1. Give your definiton of peace
2. Which would be the best way to achieve peace?
3. Give your thoughts about the PR project.
4. Call out a symbol, color song or anything else that you relate to a peaceful feeling.

This are the answers that my friend "Bobo" gave:

"
1. Peace can be defined in two different and complementary ways. On one hand it's just the mere absence of conflict, on the other hand it's a state of harmony and positive interaction between different people and with one's self.
The "negative" meaning of peace is usually considered as an ideal condition and related in contrast to war, which becomes the opposite of peace. Nevertheless the "positive" interaction between different people and one's self comprise both the premise and the condition of absence of confilct. In any case peace is baiscally a social concept: you can't even think of it if you separate it from society. Society of individuals and society of nations.

2. The best way to achieve peace is thinking as you as an individual surrounded by other individuals and that you need and may like to deal with this other individuals. Interaction with this other people may get into conflict which is not necessarly bad because it could solve into a higher level of peace.

3. Inner peace may certanly be the first step to global peace, but it cannot even be thought without the liberation of mankind from basic needs. You cannot really think of other people as your "friends" unless you stop seeing them as your competitors on earning your every day life.

4. Tuscany hills so relaxing for your sight. White. Silence."

This are the answers that my sister Elena gave:

"
1. There are two definiton of peace. The first one concern the inner peace, the quest for mental and physical equilibriuum. I try to achieve it avoiding superflous things, such as material things and also social relations that lead me to discomfort. I'm aware otherwise that you cannot want to avoid something unless you know it.
On a larger scale, and by that i mean on a social level, peace is made out of respect and tolerance. Social peace is harder to achieve becaus involves many

many subjects and often what is freedom for someone is costriction for others. The best way to achieve peace is then being able to understand diversity and do not impose yourself like someone who has already went through a course and has nothing left to learn.

3. I believe that the PR project can be effective for a personal growth but i fear that on a larger scale it might be difficult to it when dealing with integralist or stiff attitudes.

4. That line that bind us together in spite of languages, skin colors and culture. Green.

I'm quite happy with the results of this activity. In a "scenario" where people is very skeptical and very "eurocentric" the approach to introduce a new concept plays a fundamental role. As i could see that most of the people would give a double definition of peace on their own(on a personal level and on a social level), this really helps me to talk of the PeaceRevolution, of the relation between inner peace and outer peace and of the benfits that meditation brings in attening inner peace. I'm not sure, but i believe that if i would have used a different approach my feedback would have been worse.
