His message is simple and profound. Speaking at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok, Thailand, he expressed, Peace needs to be in everyone's life. Of all the things we have tried in this world, there is one thing we have never given a chance. That one thing is peace. If we want to hope for something, maybe we could hope in our heart that peace will come in our life. The peace we are looking for is within. It is in the heart, waiting to be felt.

For those who wish to make peace a reality in their life, he offers inspiration and guidance. What I offer people is not just talk he says, but a way to go inside and savor the peace that is within.
