Nepal. From the Global Youth Forum CC

Namaste. We are so happy that the good-hearted people like you is interested in the peace poetry that we organized on the International Peace Day. Here are only few poems. We are so sorry that we could not send you all or more poems. Hope you will enjoy them.  from Jagannath

My Wish

Every morning I ask and pray,
'My lord, will you fulfill my wish?'
Then I hear a voice say,
'My dear, whatever you wish.'

My wish is only peace,
Rather small but long-lasting peace.
My dawn on four feet only gave hope.

I could neither work nor widen my scope,
I could only pray to God,
To bring peace; fulfill my wish, my Lord.
The day on two feet is the time to rise,
Time for my dreams to be realised.

At my dust on three feet, I can do nothing.
I can only watch from a distance, the rays of light,
Wait for someone to take peace to its height.

For if the rays of hope of morning shine.
Would brighten the world to fulfill the wish of mine.
I shall happily summon my night,
To feel the peaceful dark sight.

- Anoj Shah, Class 9, Hindu Vidyapeeth-Nepal


Today Peace in Nepal

Millions of year has been bone
In search of same peace.
Today peace will establish in Nepal
It is my hope too.

Peace can't be bought
Nor be sold peace
Peace can be established there only
Where is love and co-operation between each other

Nothing is lacking in Nepal today.
If there is lack that is peace
Actually there is no lack of peace
There is lack of understanding to own.
 
Nor there is increment in price of peace
Just like human life's major requirement
Here is only the increment in price
Between human and human only.

Mrigendra Byanjankar, Class – 9, Hindu Vidyapeeth-Nepal

What is Peace?
'Peace' everybody says; "I need peace! I need peace!"
But I am actually confused what it is
Is it the name of a bird which has already vanished from this world?
Is it the name of a thing that has last its existence from this world?

Can you say what it is?
I am truly saying I don't know actually what it is
Is it associated with the army or the Maoist?
Or is it associated with the people of different religions?
Can it be related with caste, race or creed?
Is it related with people having different ideas and views?
Please can you tell me what is associated with?
I am truly saying I don't know exactly what it is
My request to all the people of world

Please
                  Please

         Please stop killing your own brothers and sisters
            Please stop hunting people like animals
            Please throw down the weapons
            And get together

On 22nd (which was still the 21st in the US), I had a peace meditation at Daegaksa at 5:00-6:00 AM and three meditation classes with total number of 330 students at Joaseonsil of Dongguk University 12:30-3:40 PM.  I gave a Dharma lecture to people of the university including 250 professors and officers, 540 students and 15 practitioners at Junggangdang of Dongguk University, 4:00-5:00 PM.  The final observation was a peace meditation at Daegaksa, 9:00-10:00 PM.
