Periodically the Dalai Lama Foundation features an organization whose peaceful mission is aligned with ours.  Have a suggestion for a future organization that you would like to see featured?  Please let us know.

The Peace Revolution
—World Peace through Inner Peace

Peace Revolution is a global online self-development program that strives to bring peace to the world through participants finding peace within themselves. Working to create a new “paradigm shift,” intent on redirecting and refocusing our personal priorities from an outward search to an inward quest designed to discover and cultivate a lasting, self-sustaining happiness.

Some of the many features of the Peace Revolution online program include: free guided meditation; mp3’s in six different languages; an inner peace time journal where one can log daily meditation experiences; support from dedicated peace coaches; the option to interact with members in an online forum; and other peace related media.

One of the most popular features is the monthly Full Moon Silent Party. Each month on the full moon day peace rebels from around the world meditate together, in their respective countries to cultivate inner peace within their mind, expand their minds filled with peace, and sharing this peace with families, communities, cities, countries and the world.

Kondwani Prince Thindwa, a peace rebel from Malawi, after taking part in the program for two weeks stated “anyone who practices inner peace time daily, will not have destructive or violent ideas.” He went on to say that it is his belief that the world will be peaceful if everyone can discover inner peace themselves.

Active participants in the Peace Rebel program will have the opportunity to attend the Peace Revolution Conference in Thailand in February 2010, where they will experience a deepening of their Inner peace through a Peace Revolution Retreat and beautiful Light of Peace Ceremony.

The Peace Revolution is open to all—anyone from any age, any culture, any religion or background is invited to sign up and participate. The program already has close to 800 members from 120 countries in every corner of the globe. Be a peace rebel and rock the world!

If you're a blogger, webmaster, have a Facebook page or own an Internet domain, you can help increase global awareness of peace and peace-related activities and metrics by creating a Peace-dot page (or web site) within your domain. The Peace-dot project at Stanford University focuses on measuring and promoting peace, and we subscribe to their goal of creating a large community engaging in massive collaboration to spread the news about peace and score its quantifications and progress all over the world.

To this end, we encourage you to create a page or site in your own domain and add your voice, and that of your organization, to this process. The goal is that wherever there’s an organization that has a www.dot.com presence you could also find a site peace.dot.com that describes the organization’s commitment to measurable steps to maintain and create peace in the world.

But even if you can't make your own peace-dot domain, you can still help by adding a Peace-dot page within your website. We hope to be able to give you a boost by introducing you to some online resources that might give you a head start. See Peace.DalaiLamaFoundation.org for more information.

Once again the Foundation is pleased to offer our Peace on Earth holiday cards. These beautiful cards originally sent out as holiday greetings in 2003 were produced by Artists to Watch, led by husband and wife team Larry La Bonté and Kathryn T. Shaw. Don Farber was kind enough to allow us to use his beautiful photograph of His Holiness the Dalai Lama for the card.

You may purchase Peace on Earth holiday cards from the Foundation. You receive a box of 10 cards, tax and shipping included, for $15.

To purchase, visit the Foundation online.
