"Both Gandhi and Martin Luther King are inspiring examples of the power and truth of nonviolence and the
actions that arise from them. They not only embraced nonviolence in principle, but implemented it in action. Both gave their lives for this precious vision.
The purpose of "A Season for Nonviolence" - was to create an awareness of nonviolent principles and practice as a powerful way to heal, transform and empower our lives and communities.
This Season for Nonviolence is a very good tool to remind us of their witness, but also of the large unfinished work we have together in transforming awareness
on our planet." -- His Holiness, The Dalai Lama
