HEADS-UP: Tomorrow is U.N. International Peace Day … join the Global Synchronized Meditation

800px-Peace_Tattoo_San_Diego_County_Fair_2009September 21, 2013 is the United Nation’s International Peace Day. The theme this year is Education for Peace, including fostering respect, inclusiveness, and peaceful societies.

Many organizations across this beautiful blue orb of ours are marking the day with events of one sort or another. One of special interest is Unify’s Global Synchronized Meditation

BE THE PEACE

“The purpose of meditation is to awaken in us the skylight nature of mind, and to introduce us to that which we really are, our unchanging pure awareness that underlies the whole of life and death.

“In the stillness and silence of meditation, we glimpse and return to that deep inner nature that we so long ago lost sight of amid the busyness and distraction of our minds.”  Sogyal Rinpoche, Glimpse After Glimpse: Reflections of Living and Dying
