Ending The World's Major Sufferings
Throughout history, Humanity has endured sufferings: hunger, disease, poverty, crime, homelessness, corruption, slavery. The list is long. Human suffering is occurring around the globe as you read this, and it continues. And, it’s not only in other countries — sufferings exist in your own community.
Isn’t it time we begin saying, “Enough”? Enough war, enough illiteracy, enough poverty and malnutrition. Enough of the immoral, unnecessary, and recurring sufferings we’ve been putting up with. Project Heaven on Earth says, “Yes, enough! We are going to end the world’s major sufferings once and for all!” That clearly and specifically is the commitment.
Since the world’s sufferings are interrelated and impact each other, any, and every, contribution you make to ending a suffering has a ripple effect. Your contribution matters and it’s needed now.
Here is a list of some of the world’s major sufferings. Read through the list and feel the one whose existence hurts you the most. Feel the one that is asking you to end it. I invite you to become part of the individual and collective commitment to end that suffering.
