BEYOND
TOLERANCE –
CELEBRATING DIVERSITY AND UNITY
“Out beyond the ideas of right and wrong, there is a
field. Ill meet you there.”
Rumi, 13th century Sufi Persian poet,
translated by Coleman Banks
We wish to
re-dedicate ourselves to becoming better human beings, to develop real
compassion and altruism, and to work toward diminishing our sense
of our
personal “self” so that we may better serve others.
Worldwide protests
against injustice, the continuous struggle for the rights of indigenous
peoples, World Meditation Ensemble’s peaceful production of
multi-cultural spiritual music, and recent natural disasters are just a few reminders that the need
for peace and compassion is real. It is begging for
our collective conscience to stand up to ignorance, indifference and intolerance.
The wisest have the
courage to be intensely human -to acknowledge their frailties and
struggles, and to constantly engage with these, so that they can lift
their own veils of ignorance even as they urge others to do so for
themselves. We aspire and work towards that.
All major religions and
spiritual paths
carry the messages of love, mercy, and forgiveness, and have the intention to
make us better human beings by teaching us to be more compassionate and
forgiving.
Forgiveness reflects tolerance and an understanding of the value of
another’s rights and views.
This is the foundation for harmony.
All religions do not
have the same objectives or beliefs, so there are substantial
differences that require tolerance and patience. Tolerance and
patience become more plentiful when fear is reduced. Fear
lessens when understanding increases. Understanding flourishes when we learn. We learn
when we have an absence of fixed ideas and exhibit a willingness to
learn. To be genuinely interested in that which is unfamiliar is a way
to increase understanding.
We are genuinely
interested in the unfamiliar. That is why we research and re-create
music from traditions around the planet, and are also inspired to write
our own.
You are encouraged to join with us.
We are an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization.
We wish you and yours
optimum health and happiness now and always. |
