for forty years aspiring people around the world to find peace within going to the no i go and i talk to people and i present them with the possibility of themselves discover the peace that lies in sao paolo brazil the words of peace television series began airing a decade ago today it reaches more than ten million homes each week in the city and over forty million homes recently was interviewed by the president of the brazilian association of community television channels thank you very much thank you for having me and i am very honored to to be participating in the tenth anniversary off this beautiful thing which is people accepting the message of peace the interview marked the tenth anniversary of the words of peace television series being aired in brazil in part one of the interview roberts humanitarian work through the nation and the transformative effect of his message of peace on people throughout the world  as being more than just feeding people few years back i was in this place in india called raji and i saw that the children were extremely poor i started talking to somebody who knew about that area and he told me that the children lacked so much food that they were actually stealing the food from the rats where the rats store the food they would dig it up and they would eat so i said what can we do for them so we started and opened up our kitchen facility and give them food not just any kind of food food that they are familiar with the food that they would like to eat so we just began the project and the kids started coming and of course we didn't want to run it so we left it to the local  you know the local chiefs to say you run and we will provide the food we will provide the facility amazing things started to happen their health improved there's another having good clean water good clean food health improved because of their health guess what just recently the first child from their completed high school and went on to university education got better ok what else the crime rate dropped because no people could eat they didn't have to steal do you know and then get food so much started to change better health less crime more education better success stories this is what good clean food and water can do and the purpose of the premier our foundation is not only to bring the message of peace but to allow people to have peace prosperity and to do this with dignity that's what i would like to ask you about the  created because it seems to be that you really work with the peace message but you also work with in a way to help people with food water and things like that and i would like to know do this as a humanitarian effort look we can talk about peace till we turn blue in the face but it is hard to talk to a person about peace of their stomach is growling because of hunger so i wanted to bring some self sufficiency to the people so we started this but i can see that the un to the fundamentals are taken care of the basics are taken care of it is going to be hard for people to accept peace not that peace has to come from outside the peace i'm talking about comes from inside them but at the same token it becomes difficult but as they grow and they become successful members of the society they can play a big role a huge role in bringing peace to themselves and their communities so yes two are interlinked but for me when i started with these projects it was purely a humanitarian thing because now we have one in ghana africa we have one in  and we're going to be opening other ones and as i watched this unfold i see what that does to a community that it is not a very complicated formula and this is what i always say it is peace prosperity we need prosperity but prosperity without peace is disaster because this is what we have right now we have prompted a lot of prosperity but no peace not working peace th prosperity and to do this with a lot of dignity not trying to convert people not trying to change people accepting them accepting them accepting their beliefs accepting all of what they are and yet bringing them the message of peace and bringing them the possibility of prosperity can world leaders really make difference to peace in the world and how do you think your message can impact them because we know that you always in very big  apologize to a lot of the leaders i mean because i have met a lot of leaders and they're beautiful people and they want peace in their lives too it's not like that they become leaders and they become different but i also know that peace will come from every single human being that global leaders can help by putting ends to the conflict by not perpetuating the conflicts not perpetuating the wars but helping people understand prosperity and to give people the dignity that they deserve but peace is within human beings they need to discover it they need to explore it they need to feel it and if we keep relying on world leaders to bring peace i'm afraid that is going to be not anytime soon but if we rely on ourselves as the citizens off the earth that every single human being has the right has the right to feel peace is a fundamental right to feel peace that if we take that approach then there can be peace on this community the prisoners normally people don't to matter about prisoners they are in preserver but you can about them i do how how  would think are there in prison what hope do they have but we have a beautiful piece education program and we have taken it to prisons and i go to prisons and visit people in prisons and speak to them and i can tell you that maybe they have done something wrong in their life and that's why they are in prison but that doesn't mean that they are not a human being and they need hope too and are they capable of feeling peace yes they are are they willing to see hope because otherwise what's going to happen sooner or later they're going to be released they commit the crime again and they're back in prison the peace education program is really a wonderful program and it's not only just for prisons but it is going to libraries it is going to people retired homes it is for really everyone who is interested in peace and i just hope that that piece education program keeps expanding and expanding and expanding because everyone who comes across it can truly benefit from it in san antonio prison in texas one of the things that the officials noted that people who were going through the peace education program had the lowest rate of return they were not coming back to prison they were very impressed but what's going on here and everywhere i've been to prisons in south africa ins under water i have been to prison in argentina i've been to prison in san antonio and when i go there i see people you know the it is between the judge and them and the lawyers to figure out who did what wrong or how much punishment they're going to get but i am there as a human being talking to another human being bringing the message of hope bringing the message of peace because they need to feel this too and this is where people say if i would have only heard this message before i would not be in the prison today and there are prisoners who want their families to hear their message because they know that their children are picking the same path as them and they want to break the cycle we're human beings we've got to help each other who else is going to help us you know it's us who have to help each other to realize our potential all of us all of us and all of us have to work in bringing the message of peace and making the peace possible i am not taking any contract that it is my responsibility to bring peace no i am just playing a small part everybody has to play their part are recognizing the involvement and the efforts of everyone who is interested on peace who is interested in having peace on the south this is what i see that yes there may have my name on it but i really see that that is a recognition of all those people who want peace not the critics who say no no no there can never be peace but it is someone in a beautiful position recognizing the efforts and works of all of us around the world whoever you are wherever you are that you are interested in peace and that's what's going to make a difference and the way the way it helps is that people have a greater understanding a greater knowledge that there are people on the face of this earth who are genuinely working to bring peace this is very very important not some concept not some idea not some theory not another book please but genuinely hands on working and not interested in bringing peace on this  power we have records and does wonderful interview and personally for me it's an story corps interview it's a very complicated the area talking about conflicts some people say and ship title from from this city i would like to know why do fink that people that live in a city with so many and you know this is very very different it is very easy to touch a person's mind it is very difficult to touch a person's heart but when a person's heart is touched a beautiful reality starts to take place you know when it hasn't rained for a long time and the first rain begins there is an incredible smell a beautiful perfume it is the smell of the earth absorbing that water now you can actually indefinitely in india you can actually buy the springfield but to smell it in real different is completely different and the same thing when the heart gets tight this is not about theory i'm so thankful to the people who gave me uni parts who gave me the ambassador of peace every time i go out there try to talk to people i try to uphold the standard of what they have given me be the ambassador of peace and i would like to see nothing more then the seven billion people on the face of this earth to be also be the ambassador of peace each one well we are here celebrating ten years of this so special to view program and in south america especially here in brazil and those like you know what's your vision true the next ten years from now more and more and more of this beautiful beautiful beautiful expression of peace of joy that being alive does not have to be painful that it is the most most beautiful thing that can be celebrated that the breath comes into me the breath comes into you and that that is their moves to direct the gift of the creator every  you are touched the same power that keeps this universe and all the universes intact just came and touched you too in the expression of the coming of this breath the expression of coming of this day in the expression of coming of the understanding in the expression of coming of and sense of humor in your t v show and the this is one of the reasons i really enjoy it could you give us some examples of these real stories that which people in this day and age it's not specifically about a certain group of people or a certain individual but just trying to reflect upon our silliness you know how silly we can sometimes be and one of the stories that i give is once upon a time there was this kingdom and in this kingdom the king heard a message one day that a man far away from his capital had discovered a way to live for ever so now the king was i have to know this way to live forever so he called his a master and said now i want you to go to this person and learn the way to live for ever and please don't delay leave now well their master said ok i'll leave so he went home he packed and he left and the king is waiting waiting because you answer left so he's waiting for the ambassador two days later the ambassador comes back and says king i have very bad news as soon as i got there the man who had figured a way to live forever had died and the king was furious you delayed if you would have reached there in time this man would have been alive if you could have the way to live forever you could come back you could have taught me the way to live forever and i would have been able to live forever now you know when you hear that story it's like but it's so real because people don't understand that if this man truly had figure out a way to live for ever he wouldn't die he wouldn't die for sure but the king didn't look at that obviousness to the king it was like you delayed and so you know there was big discussion about if he wouldn't have delayed whose fault it is and everything else finally a wise man was walking by i heard the commotion came in so why are you fighting with each other and so when the story was explained he said you know isn't it obvious to you but this is what we go through we don't look at the obvious in our lives we don't look at the obvious do we have a plan for a lifetime or only for tomorrow what is a lifetime not that big if you live to be a hundred years old that's only thirty six thousand five hundred days not three hundred sixty thousand only thirty six thousand five hundred days do you have a plan for thirty six thousand five hundred what do you want to accomplish in your lifetime in your lifetime not one day not five years not fifteen years not twenty years in your lifetime and i am saying to people look at the obviousness your life and you have the opportunity because you have a life to accomplish something make it beautiful and nothing in my opinion at least is more beautiful than peace when a human being is in peace they are exquisitely beautiful exquisitely when does a horse look beautiful when it's running when it's doing when it's free when it's showing its beauty we need to do the same thing if a horse can do it we can do it  very nice to hear your opinions about the peace process that you had in all over the world thank you very much thank you it's a pleasure to talk to you thank you
