The New Zealand Peace Run Team at Bluff.
Having achieved the goal of running the length of the country and bringing the message of peace to all the people we have met along the way there is now time to reflect on what has occurred.
Sri Chimnoy’s vision for the world to move forward, to transform negativity and have lasting peace is especially relevant today.
People have an incredible yearning for peace in their lives. Most people want a peaceful world and that is what we find when we travel with the Peace Run. The experience of being on the Peace Run in New Zealand has shown what a positive change is occurring; how peoples' attitudes are changing and becoming more positive and especially at schools where qualities like compassion, respect, kindness and harmony are incorporated into their school values.
The New Zealand Peace Run started on March 4th at Cape Reinga and today has reached Bluff.
Many thanks to Bluff Lodge who looked after the whole team for two nights.
