Our Message

Life is ultimate value. Without it, we have nothing.

Forgiveness – A bridge to peace

• Forgiveness does not change the past but it does change the present.

Forgiveness is a skill you can learn.Forgiveness is a choice.

Page 15: Life like a Candle.. .shines

Release the past

• The more anger you carry in your heart about your past, the less capable you will be of loving in your present. Forgiveness is for you – a gift you give to yourself. Has nothing to do with the other. It’s about releasing the past and that will heal our hurts.

Forgiveness exercise

• Know what your feelings are about what happened.

• Be clear about the action that has wronged you.

• Share your experience with at least one or two trusted people.

Why forgiveness is beneficial

• Forgiveness is good for us and good for our community.

• Forgiveness is our assertion that we are not victims of the past. No one’s past has to be a prison sentence.

• Forgiveness provides the key to acknowledge the past and move on.

Building strength

• Student leaders of Oneness and Peace honor the sacredness of life as our highest value.

• Forgiveness builds strength by opening up space to give forth of ourselves with love.

• This is how we transform ourselves and then can transform our world. We are each leaders of ourselves by the choices we make. Who do you choose to be?
