Compassion: The Only Way to Peace

Inspired by the depiction of Amma in Jan Kounen's 2005 documentary Darshan: The Embrace, the French film association Cinema Verite presented Amma with its 2007 Prix Cinema Verite for her contributions in fostering world peace and harmony. Compassion: The Only Way to Peace, is Amma's response to Cinema Verite's request for Amma to deliver an address on the increasing occurrences of war, violence and natural disasters seen in the world today. In the address, Amma presents a realistic and constructive analysis of the current global situation, pointing to specific areas of disharmony and explaining how only a compassionate outlook can bring about their rectification. This DVD is a recording of Amma giving this speech in Paris, France, October 12th, 2007.
