In 1998 my stomach and spleen were removed due to cancer. This has redoubled my intention to dedicate the remainder of my life serving others. The Silkworm Peace Institute strives to promote peace, healing and cultural understanding both in the US and abroad through showcasing the experiences of individuals and groups on the path of transforming revenge and anger into peace and forgiveness. At the dawn of 21st century, we need to honor this passage through darkness. We must find courage to enter the darkness of our own hearts - again and again, emerging with the gift of new life.
Healing comes through learning to forgive and making peace with our painful past.
We will find the path to victory. Thank you for listening to my heart. Silkworm Peace Institute Takashi T.
