  1. Words of Wisdom by sages, scientists and other great personalities

  2. Preface- Peace education is quite essential for this modern world; it's the only peace which can give us a holistic answer for all the burning issues of the world and can give us a better "way out' for all the problems which human beings have been facing for ages; but how can one get peace? By changing the political rulers or by changing the attitude of people? By having huge materialistic development or by bringing up awareness?  By giving education to all or by inculcating spiritual messages in education?  By changing the society or by changing our life?

  3. Major Vedic Teachings--  "Ayamatma Brahman" ( Aatma is Brahman=consciousness) "Pragyanam Brahman" (true wisdom is Brahman=consciousness) "Tatwamasi" (That you are) "AhamBrahmasmi" (I'm the Brahman) Teachings from Different Religions-

  4. Isho-panishad-- "Ten tyaktenbhunjeetha...;(one should posses the materials with the sense of non-attachment and should not be greedy for other's wealth.)

  5. Mundako-panishad-- "So-aham" ( "That is me", a best message of Adwait- Non-Dualism) so how could one harm others if he/she realizes that same consciousness is manifested in every being and everywhere.

  6. Geeta-- there are mainly 3 teachings in Geeta ; Karma Yoga (walking on the path of selfless service with the principle of non-attachment); Gyan Yoga (having the true wisdom based on Self realization, not only education based on books); Bhakti Yoga (feeling very unconditional love with all, no any Dualism; and complete surrender to God, so ego gets dissolved gradually)

  7. Dhammapad-- Buddha says- "NahiverenaveranisammanteehaKudachan....(enmity can't be solved by enmity as one can't put off the fire by fire)

  8. Bible-- "the kingdom of God is within you" (God means joy, peace, eternity...) 'One lump of food earned by peace is far better than two lumps earned by hard labor and chasing the wind”

  9. Koran-- 'helping others is helping god' and 'All humans are the god's creation, therefore they are equal'.

  10. Hindu teachings       - "omdwou shanti, antarikshya shanti, prithvi shanti, aap shanti, aoushadhaya shanti, vanaspataya shanti, vishwedewa shanti...." This Vedic text strongly stresses on Peace. Such broadest concept of Veda is the glory not only to Hindus but to every mankind equally. • - "YatraVishwamBhavatyekaNeedam" ( it's the message for "global family" from the Vedas at first. • - "Satyam JnanamAnantam Brahma, Anandarupam-amritamyadvibhati, ShantamShivamAdvaitam" (it means-Brahma is truth, He is Wisdom, He is Infinite; He is revealed in endless forms of delight or joy; He is Goodness, He is One.) Teachings of Religions for Peace and Wisdom

  11. Buddhist teachings— • - Buddha’s first doctrine gives emphasis to knowledge, behavior and peace for ultimate salvation. He was the incarnation of pace and non violence... he gave us the principle of AaryaSatya, four noble teachings. -- a) There is grief/sorrow in this world. b) Every grief has some cause. c) The grief can be removed. d) There is a 'way' to remove it.

  12. Islam teachings--  -   'Islam' in Arabic language is “peace” and by name it supports peace magnificently.

  13. Christian teachings--  - " Keep your sword in your sheath because who uses sword will be killed himself by it. Don’t fight. The time has come. I will be dedicated myself bearing pains." It is said that Jesus regained his life after 3 days of his crucifixion because of above words of peace and forbearance.

  14. Tao TeChing teachings-- "I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of your being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world."

  15. "Almost anything you do will seem insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. Our actions in the world are the greatest test of our insights and growth. If we can apply our spiritual insights to helping the world around us, then perhaps we are really learning something. If not, our concepts, ideas, or personal growth are surely suspect."   Mahatma Gandhi Messages of Wisdom/Peace from great Spiritual Masters

  16.  'Peace begins with a smile. and "if you can't feed hundred children in a day feed at least one’ Mother Teresa

  17.  (Nobel Peace Prize speech 1989 - Ethics for a new millenium. By his holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. An excerpt:) "We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others’ actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others’ activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others. Nor is it so remarkable that our greatest joy should come when we are motivated by concern for others. But that is not all.

  18. We find that not only do altruistic actions bring about happiness but they also lessen our experience of suffering. Here I am not suggesting that the individual whose actions are motivated by the wish to bring others’ happiness necessarily meets with less misfortune than the one who does not. Sickness, old age, mishaps of one sort or another are the same for us all. But the sufferings which undermine our internal peace: anxiety, doubt, disappointment, these things are definitely less....

  19. "Swami Vivekananda is the world-teacher who first brought the message of Vedanta to the Western world. Vedanta was the message that he delivered at the Parliament of Religions in 1893. " The way to the end of suffering is neither multiplication of desires nor their liquidation, but Self-Knowledge through self-control." Swami Vivekananda

  20. "Spiritual union enables man to overcome egocentric desire and purpose, and hence to eliminate causes of conflict between man and man."   MaharshiAurvindo

  21. "Each individual living organism has it's its own need and faculty for self-preservation. The education of man should allow room for training in the perfect maintenance of his individual life. Otherwise not only does h become helpless, but his faculty for self-preservation, the exercise of which gives him a true enjoyment of life, can atrophy altogether. Generally speaking in our process of education this training of how to live our physical life is neglected, therefore we miss the Shantam, the peace, on which the self- reliant freedom of a well-organized existence depends."  RavindranathTagore-

  22. '' Each human being must perform 3 duties- Physical duty, Ethical Duty and Spiritual Duty.'' ShivapuriBaba-

  23. Pg 98 A mirror holds all kinds of images and does not get attached with any of them, so is the religion that neither hinders others nor endures the obstacle of others. Pg 105 Butter, present in every portion of milk, is extracted from it, so does the right attitude (conduct) flourish from the fruits of happiness and grief. Pg 239 Humanbeings are not born merely for materialistic pleasure, the ultimate goal of this brith is to possess perfect contentment of the heart. - by Khaptadbaba
