Pasaules Sadraudzības skrējiens
25. gadu jubileja :
Tuvojoties 2022 un Vienotības Pasaulei
Ziņa: Dārgie Draugi,
Es silti jūs sveicu ar Pasaules Sadraudzības Skrējiena
25. jubilejas un citu miera kultūras pasākumu tuvošanos.
Es domāju, ka visi pasaules pilsoņi ar
nepacietību gaida nākošo desmitgadi - 2022. gadu, kā ievērojama progresa
un pārsteidzošu izmaiņu laiku.
Ir ārkārtīgi svarīgi, lai mēs strādatu kopā patiesas Vienotības Pasaules izveidē. Pasaules Sadraudzības skrējiens
ir viena no visapbrīnojamākajām un aptverošākajām uz šo mērķi vērstajām iniciatīvām pēdējā laikā.
1987. gadā to nodibināja Šrī Činmojs, un pat pēc viņa aiziešanas 2007. gadā, tā turpina vērsties plašumā, attīstot svarīgus UNESCO un visas Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas ideālus.
No savas puses, es vēlētos izcelt dažas konkrētas aktivitātes, kuras Pasaules
Sadraudzības skrējiens jau ir uzsācis
vai iedvesmojis.
Es ceru, ka šīs aktivitātes nakamajā desmitgadē var paplašināt un bagātināt.
1. Pasaules mantojuma objekti:; 2. Mūzika ; 3. Mākslas un Dzejas radīšana un izstādīšana; 4. Daudzveidības novērtēšana; 5. Dažādu ticību pieņemšana; 6. Sabiedrības paraugi; 7. Jaunu iespēju atklāšana 8. Nekad nepadodies!:
