Extending Compassion toward All Beings: Mohandas Gandhi proclaimed: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." A profound principle -- yet one that is often overlooked in forums promoting peace and nonviolence. Grounded in the work of Gandhi, The Buddha and Albert Schweitzer, this session focuses on an important component of a true culture of compassion. ------------------------
Peace through Unconditional Compassion: We all
want peace in the world, peace in our neighborhoods and peace in our hearts.
To achieve these goals, we must expand our capacity to extend compassion and
forgiveness unconditionally -- even toward those who harm others. Drawing from
real-life examples of people demonstrating compassion and forgiveness in the
face of unspeakable tragedy, this session explores the practice of embracing
the fullest principles of Ahimsa as a means of attaining a genuine sense of
peace. Guns, Denial & Insanity: In the U.S., death by firearm is a daily occurrence. This session argues against the purported virtues of gun ownership and offers a blueprint for creating a safer society. ------------------------ Humane Education: A Lifetime of Compassion: The value of cultivating our intrinsic ability to care for one another cannot be overestimated. This session provides the tools and insights to help you become a more effective humane educator and inspire compassion in individuals of any age. |
