Shanti Shanti Sangh is a peace group that enourages Nepalese civil society to advocate for and support non-violent resolution of Nepal’s conflict. The many religions of Nepal are an important part of its civil society. All major religions hold compassion, mercy, tolerance and understanding as core values. These values guide us to solve problems through bravely opening our hearts. We welcome the ceasefire and peace talks as a positive step. Shanti Shanti Sangh is holding Religion and Reconciliation, a discussion on how religion can help us clarify the path to reconciliation and reforms for greater social equity and human rights in Nepal. Bridge the gap between city and countryside Listen to rural voices Channel Maoist and establishment resources in peaceful national transformation. Religion & Reconciliation Sunday, March 2nd 3 to 5pm at Rastriya Mahila Ayog, Bhadrakali Plaza, opposite Singha Durba shantishantisangh@hotmail.com The four speakers will be: Bhikku Ananda Stavira, Lecturer in Buddhist Studies, TU Mr. Padma Singh Bishwokarma, Chairperson of National Dalit Commission Mr. Salahuddin Akhtar Siddiqui, Advocate from Nepalgung Rev. Casper J. Miller S.J. Rector, St. Xavier's School, Jawalakhel The Venerable Tengboche Rinpoche has agreed to serve as Chairperson Each speaker will make a 10 minute presentation, followed by discussion. Nepali will be the main language used at the seminar. The starting premise of our Religion and Reconciliation discussion is the following: In order to create a reconciliation that brings reform and social equity, we need to bridge the gap between city and countryside, comfortable and poor. We need to respect the rural voices, (Maoist, government and other) for the guidance that they can give on social reform directions. We hope that the Maoists will channel their energy as a common resource for equitable development. We hope that the establishment will commit their multiple resources to formulate and realize national transformation. Religion can guide us in practical steps of social activism, through the following themes: 1. Compassion and wisdom : forgiveness and reconciliation 2. Transformation towards social equity 3. Selflessness, honesty and dialogue 4. Personal responsibility for peace and transformation |

Hey Allare, You are acting like a telemarketer who is trying is convince the "Verizon" customers to "AT and T" and vice versa. You have done your part by informing the existance of some other sites but dont ask them to do this and that. They are matured/literal enough to do what is deemed necessary. |
