1993 PARLIAMENT OF THE WORLD'S RELIGIONS
One hundred years ago Chicago brought the people of the world together and there is no better time for this to happen again: As our world is still plagued by conflict and violence, we must come together and affirm that we are all citizens of Earth Mother and begin to plan for a peaceful and sustainable future. This is precisely what the 1993 Parliament of the World's Religions intends to do, and the International Mahavir Jain Mission is proud to be a sponsor of this years gathering
For as long as space endures, And for as long as living beings remain,
Until then may 1, too, abide To dispel the misery of the world.
– His Holiness the Dalai Lama
His Holiness Acharya Sushil Kumar Ji Maharaj has been invited to speak at the Parliament and will address the need to embrace non-violence for all living beings. Mother Teresa of Calcutta and His Holiness the Dalai Lama are also amongst the distinguished guests scheduled to lead lectures, workshops and discussions on a wide variety of themes: Indigenous Peoples, the Environment and Ecology, Science and Technology, Education and above all the establishment of World Peace are just a few of the plenary sessions planned. The eight day Parliament will also feature an International Film Festival as well as numerous exhibitions and performances sure to please the nearly 5,000 participants expected to attend.
The dawn of non-violence shall usher in an era of peaceful co-existence, where the oneness of all religions becomes the foundation stone
of the oneness of humanity.
- H.H. Acharya Sushil
Kumar Ji Maharaj
The 1993 Parliament is open to everyone and encourages all those interested in a united and peaceful world to join us in Chicago from August 28th through September 4th. Please feel free to contact the Parliament directly at the address listed below for further information and registration.
Religion is a gift of God and is meant to help
us to be one heart full of love. God is our father - and we are all His children - we are all brothers and sisters. Let there be no distinctions of race or color or creed.
- Mother Teresa
