Remember, We Are One
We all drink from one water
We all breathe from one air
We rise from one ocean
And we live under one sky
Remember we are one
The new born baby cries the same
The laughter of children is universal
Everyone’s blood is red
And our hearts beat the same song
Remember we are one
We are all brothers and sisters
Only one family, only one earth
Together we live and together we die
Remember we are one
Remember we are one
Peace Be on You Brothers and Sisters
Peace Be on You
~ Anwar Fazal, Chairperson, MIN

[…] Buddha understood himself as something like a doctor who wanted to help suffering people to find liberation and redemption. However, everyone had to try out the means of healing for themselves. Buddha was something like a present-day psychotherapist who helps people to overcome crises in life, to understand the causes of suffering and so cope with it, to be content with their limitations, finitude and mortality. But the Buddha was more than a psychotherapist. He was more radical. He himself had experienced Enlightenment that human beings, if they see through everything, could recognize that all that they see is not stable, that nothing in the world is permanent. Everything is changeable; even the self, to which we so cling, basically has no abiding substance, but is just as transitory. ~ World Religions, Universal Peace, Global Ethic […]
