This conference seeks to merge the discourses on happiness with those on ahimsa to explore the multiple perspectives of synergy, reciprocity and unity between ahimsa and happiness. Instead of advocating a mere avoidance of violence, this conference will emphasize the many positive facets—such as caring, compassion, forgiveness, generosity, gratitude, mindfulness, reverence for life, and trust—that make ahimsa a constructive and creative force.
The Ahimsa center is also making a call for proposals for this event. Proposals should represent multiple disciplinary perspectives with practice-based insights that illuminate the multi-faceted relationship between ahimsa and happiness.
