World Peace Is Not Such An Impractical Idea . Vipassana&Meditation #2
Hii steemians ! I Hope You are all well .As we already read in first blog about meditation and how much it can be important . Group practice of meditation is now being offered in prisons around the world . I recently read about a new meditation programme in some middle schools in the slum of sanfrancisco , California .
These schools were notorious for their low attendence , low student academic performance , and so much violence that police cars were parked outside daily.
A new principal introduced a 15-minute transcendental meditation session at the beginning and end of each day . Within a few months , student attendance was up 98%, grades had improved dramatically , and violence was almost nonexistent .
At a time when each day brings some new act of violence that claims yet more innocent lives , these stories offer great hope for the future . They provide an answer to the question. How is it possible to achieve world peace ?
As in the case of the meditating prisoners and students , human consciousness must first change on an individual level before broader social changes can take place . The Dalai Lama said,"If we taught every eight year old to meditate , we would end war in one generation . " Laws can't control violence governments can not prevent it , nor can wars stop it , Because violence start in the consciousness of the individual lost in ignorance.
NOTE-
I am here talking about community work . We are a family and should help each-other and get boom. When you will upvote to other then sure you will get it back and easily can work together . When we start upvoting to each-other then easily we can get duely upvotes , and they will continue increase .
My warm welcome to all members and humbly request to all please take it positively , it'll profitable for all.
Thanks !
