The Need for Active Non-violence?
The need for active nonviolent means to settle disputes and to challenge oppressive power has never been greater in our world. Despite impressive advances in education, health and science, human beings are more than ever resorting to violence to settle their disagreements and problems.
The twentieth century has proven itself as the most violent in history with tens of millions of people killed as the result of war. There is genuine cause for concern to seek means to de-escalate the pattern that has been set in motion. In previous history, the examples set by Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King have shown the world that active non-violent demonstration is a highly successful form of protest that yields victory for oppressed people.
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama is the primary voice in the world today advocating nonviolence for the Tibetan peoples' struggle, and in loyalty to His Holiness and his teachings, Tibetan people worldwide have chosen to follow his example in resisting oppression due to Chinese occupation of Tibet. Indeed, there has been remarkably violence in the 40 years since His Holiness was forced to flee Tibet. He and the Tibetan people have done wonderful work in preserving Tibetan culture and tradition while in exile, as well as in generating awareness and support regarding the plight of the Tibetan people.
What is the Active Nonviolence Education Center?
Formed by peace activists Rabbi Everett Gendler and Dr. Mary Gendler, as well as current Executive Director (Mr.) Tenpa C. Samkhar,the Active Nonviolence Education Center was established in order to further the message of non-violence as taught by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama for the purpose of helping people learn the practicalities of non-violent living and non-violent struggle. We envision a comprehensive educational program for the Tibetan community that increases and strengthens the message of non-violence as the appropriate path for the Tibetan struggle. We believe that active non-violence is the very foundation of our struggle for the restoration of human dignity and justice for Tibet.
The Active Nonviolence Education Center is registered under Rule XXV of 2006 (Amended by Himachal Pradesh Registration Act 1860), Registration No. 4281/C/H/R/C
