I acknowledge that I exist as a living part of our cosmic world, and I believe I can make a difference in developing a global vision and blueprint for peace and non-violence that will bring about reconciliation and co-existence. Therefore, I commit and pledge to:

• Foster peace within myself through continued education and spiritual growth;
• Promote peaceful relationships with others regardless of religion, nationality, race, sex, or sexual orientation;
• Work for peaceful solutions to social and political problems; and
• Spread the word and inspire others to advocate for peace and justice in all areas of individual, family, school, and community life.
