Warrior of Peace

From time to time the human understanding of warrior has grown and changes. In the old ages, warrior is a hero who bravely jumped into the battlefield. They were so brave, they even murdered a lot of people with a sense of pride.

Along with the advance of civilization, a hero is no longer synonymous with a man who dared to destroy the lives of others. In this age, warrior is beautiful souls who love and embrace life. They do not only love life, they even find themselves everywhere. They do not only find themselves in human beings but also in animals and plants.

While in the ancient history heroism is measured through victory, in this age heroism is measured through the depth of one's inner peace. The feeling of being safe, comfortable, at ease, that's the energy that surrounding the hero today. A number of beautiful souls even cried whenever they met this kind of hero.

This can happen especially because the tools of hero today is no longer weapon but compassion. Since they keep seeing with the eyes of compassion, speak in the language of love, act in line with the law of kindness, their presence bring so much light of peace and love to countless souls.

In the old days, the daily life of a warrior is fighting. In the present era, the everyday life of a warrior is loving. In the past, violence would be destroyed by violence. In this day and age, many times we can see that violence would only invite another more dangerous violence.

While in the ancient times the enemy was seen as the negative power which destroyed many life, at this time enemies are seen as hidden teachers. Their presence in our lives is not to destroy, but to make our heart become more and more beautiful from day to day.

No one can be patience just by memorizing the word "patience, patience, patience" every day. But someone is going to become increasingly patience when they're constantly disturbed by the enemies. And in the midst of the enemy's temptation, this kind of spiritual seekers learn to respect enemy, as good as they respect the holy Guru.

Among the warrior of peace, there are rules that must be followed. First, one should never attack the others. Mainly because when you hurt the others, you hurt yourself. Secondly, just in the case there is other party who hurt you, this type of warrior are suggested to avoid such attack. Whenever the enemy should collapse, they collapse because of their own power.

As concrete guidance in daily life, warrior of peace use the darkness to understand the light, use death to deepen the understanding about life, use pain to understand healing, use sadness to understand deep happiness and use failure to attain success.

Within this approach, every breath sing the beautiful song of peace. Similar to the trees, in the depth of silence the trees are transforming the toxic carbon into oxygen that is needed. The same thing happen to warrior of peace. For the ordinary people, they appear to be silence. But in the depth of the deep, warrior of peace transform the toxic carbon of suffering into the fresh air of peace.
