“The way I see it, different religions are just different paths leading to the same place.” Willie Nelson
“If love is in our hearts, every thought, word, and deed can bring about a miracle. Because understanding is the very foundation of love, words and actions that emerge from our love are always helpful.” Thich Nhat Hanh
“If we are to reach real peace in this world… we shall have to begin with children” Mahatma Gandhi
“We do not inherit the earth from our fathers. We borrow it from our children.”
David Brower
Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute looks at different religions and beliefs in the world to recognize the underlying positive teachings that will unite us in peace.
Love and Compassion is the Key.
Here are some previous posts that highlight peaceful solutions from Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute:
Dalai Lama’s Human Approach To World Peace highlights Buddhist teachings from the Dalai Lama.
Peace through Love features an Islamic point of view through the eyes of Rumi, a poet 750 years ago from Persia now called Iran.
Peace Train recognizes Yusuf Islam as a peaceful voice of the Muslim faith who dedicates his life to service.
Peace Science offers suggestions from Vedic wisdom that offers tangible peaceful solutions that address the power of our consciousness to create peace in the world.
Peace is a State of Mind focuses on peace in our hearts and minds as a necessary process for peace in the world.
How Compassion Creates Peace gives practical suggestions on developing compassion.
Peace for All Children offers a peaceful solution to unite all of us.
Cindy Jordon contacted Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute introducing us to her song Peace and Love. Once again we see Love as a common underlying teaching in the Christian faith.
The birth of Cindy’s first grandchild lit a flame of passion in her heart to work towards creating peace. New babies have a way of motivating us to generate ideas and actions for a peaceful solution.
“My understanding of the wisdom of young children before society teaches them prejudices and fear,” Cindy says of her motivation to work for peace.
“The promotion of self esteem especially in small children. We help people discover their greatness by showing them awareness of SELF,” Cindy offers as a peaceful solution.
Cindy says,”I have witnessed MIRACLES happen with children promoting peaceful intentions especially with the unifying power of music. If it works anywhere it will work anywhere! I KNOW IT WILL WORK FOR EVERYONE. That means our global community.”
Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute invites Cindy and her kids to create their own version of Willie Nelson and Amy Nelson’s A Peaceful Solution. We don’t have a version yet that includes kids and believe they would deliver the message of peace in a beautiful way that our world will welcome with open arms.

It’s evident that Wilie Nelson is a decent, moral man….I just hope there are a lot more good people like him in the world–we’re going to need every one of them. God bless you Willie!
