What an inspired and inspiring quest! I am particularly impressed by your all-embracing fairness, your refusal to make any material demands, the absence of any preaching or condescension, the honesty of a pure, heartfelt appeal to the better person in all of us. How can anyone refuse such an appeal?? Will it ever reach the most violent portions of our society? Probably not - but they may find themselves totally marginalized by a different kind of majority in search of peace. No matter what happens in the future, the quest itself is eminently worthwhile. We admire the strength of your convictions. More power to you! We are of course forwarding your website to everyone in our address book.

It is a wonderful production. I believe with all my heart, and I know, that the only way to live a worthy life is to do this kind of inner work, within one's heart, that you propose in your website. And yes, it starts with three little movements towards the other,and then the soul grows and grows and goes another step upwards. And then it becomes so much easier to do ten more little movements a day, and suddenly it is intoxicating to become a better human being. It is also a beautiful site, everything is so clear. The work that was done in it is blessed.

My class has come on board with One Thousand Acts of Peace! The children all have peacebooks. We started writing in them with Acts of Peace in the Past, and every morning now the children will record their "TAPs" from the day before. I trained 4 computer savvy kids, and they'll guide several children each day on using the website. So far, the children are very excited and have many meaningful and creative ideas. They wrote some on the website yesterday. I have high hopes for my 31 fourth graders!

I began thinking of One Thousand Acts of Peace, not about what I could or would do today, just feeling the idea of it, and after a while, felt a subtle shift in the way I was "in" the world -- a calmer, less aggressive, and more forgiving way of being in the world.

What a lovely and meaningful project. I do think that a conscious commitment to peace by individuals is the only way that a lasting peace will be achieved on this planet. It is increasingly clear that governments are ineffectual in compelling or even guiding their citizens in ways that will increase peace in communities and countries. Governments cannot be wiser than the collective consciousness of the citizens...One just longs for a time when there will be greater global sanity and less bloodshed because of perverted religious, nationalistic, or racial beliefs.

How simple, concrete, and easy it is to take part in, even for an oldie like myself! I have already begun, and will be spreading the word around me here and on line. It will be fun to see where that bird flies off to! It will surely meet those thousands of lovely little paper cranes the Japanese make as gifts for those who are in special need. And how our world needs peace! And you are reminding us that it must begin deep in each one's own life.

It is as simple a concept as it is spectacular. A guide, a way for all people to attain something that our "representatives" can't ever seem to comprehend, their good intentions notwithstanding.

This is a wonderful website and I am taking my time with it. It has so many profound implications for our world's future and what a fabulous experiement. I am passing it on to my important others...It helps people to get the message that just a thought reaches out to everyone, everywhere. As the Chinese say, "One wave of the hand reaches for 10,000 miles." Very powerful, our thoughts.

Since committing to daily Acts of Peace, I have been "gifted" with visits from some of the more hidden parts of myself...such as my anger. Now I welcome angry feelings as opportunities for Acts of Peace; gentle attention to my fear and unconditional forgiveness. My breath and my connections with others are deeper. Great way to feel more alive! Already a couple of people to whom I forwarded the website have commented how great the whole idea and site are..."This is the only way Peace will happen" one said. And both are "committed." BEAUTIFUL logo and such a clear and gentle site...the medium is the message.

I love everything about this! And I will forward it on to everyone in my online address book.

Wonderful idea, very practical and I hope many will commit to it. I like the Kids' TAP idea...I am thinking of doing it myself...maybe I have to test it out while driving.

The Peace logo is fabulous, marvelous, unbelievably meaningful, and it captured the essence of the project -- the three rings and the movement forward -- powerful and unforgettable. Kudos to the artist. I now have seven classes writing peace journals every day. I am also writing a letter to Peace International -- the internationl peace organization to which our school belongs. Just sent an emal to all of my parents, so we'll see what happens. Can only be good.

This is something I try to practice daily anyway, but have never considered writing it down. I will definitely spread the word, and most likely commit to the cause. I understand the need to journal it, but I like to make mental notes usually. But this will at least heighten my awareness of my daily actions/reactions.

What an absolutely wonderful vision you have! I have e-mailed your site on to several friends and will continue to do so. I will begin my peace notebook and encourage my family to do the same. I can hardly wait for the annual celebration!

I always think how we (individuals) can make a better world -- a Difference. We are all responsible for our PEACE on earth. This is one thing we can do for our next generation and generations to come. And on the same note; I have been busy with glass work which happens to be called Peace of Art -- it is Art for Peace.

The website is fantastic -- such a simple idea, and yet so effective. I am certainly going to start trying to "TAP" three times a day -- it's so true what you say, if people are focused on doing something good with their days, then they are less likely to stray down the wrong paths..and what a wonderful thing that schools will use it! I have forwarded the web address to several people I know who will be really interested in the idea. Thank you!

I especially like the section for Kids and can imagine that this could be picked up by schools as part of social studies (or whatever they call it today) curricula.

I am deeply convinced that this is the most powerful way to create a world of peace for each and every one of us. The practice of watching our own minds, of caring for our own attitudes before we throw our problems outwards on to others -- I believe this is the only way to heal the wounds which we see everywhere in our world.

This is very COOL, wonderful! I just looked through the site and really like it. I think I WILL tell my little kids about it, and their parents. And my friends and sons.

Wonderful site - oddly enough it's hard to find any sites that seem to promote a sense of goodwill, a rarity indeed! From my personal experience, one of the best "methods" of acting peacefully the rest of the day (not so much an act directed towards a specific person or event) is to wake up with the intention to do all of these things. To generate the strong intention, today i will be patient, i will be kind, i will help others even if they don't help me, i will work on one thing i know is harmful and so forth. The time we wake up really dictates the mood we are in for some, part, or most of the day or days even, so it can be quite useful i think.

I've always taken it for granted that this is the way we should be acting all the time of our lives.

I have been in crazy price negotiations with a supplier. We were at an impasse with no solution in sight. Finally, I called him back, cracked a joke to which he laughed. I think this small gesture lightened up the mood and saved the relationship.

I recently learned of an Hawaiian Kahuna meditation whereby one takes 100% responsibility for the ups and downs in life. I was able to remember to use this meditation on a recent trip to a wedding where we had a three hour delay after boarding and then subsequently deboarding the plane. I was sitting next to a very hostile and angry man on this small plane and I began to meditate on Love, Forgiveness, Surrender, and Appreciation and he took out his rosary and promptly went to sleep. Interestingly, love is projected to the other, forgiveness is asking that the other forgive you for any part that you may have played in the problem or issue no matter what, surrendering to a greater good, and appreciation for the opportunity to heal. That to me is the particularly significant part of this meditation.

My Act of Peace is to humanize not dehumanize those with whom I strongly disagree. To try to see things from the other's point of view. To avoid being righteous or preachy, this is a hard one for me. To make being right less important then being understood. To stay true to others and myself and most of all to love life and stay lucky...

Smile from your heart, while saying: "May all beings be happy."
