Mae Chee Sansanee Sthirasuta - Are We Awake?

Mae Chee Sansanee Sthirasuta asks "Are we awake?" in a series of videos by Awakening The Global Heart Program entitled Vision Of World Leaders. In the video she talks about being fully awake and living in full awareness of the present moment. She adds that the virtues of love and wisdom are key to avoiding spiritual ignorance. She emphasizes that when we live with love and compassion in our hearts it is impossible to do anyone else harm. That same love and compassion helps us realize that no one is worth hating. She adds that peace starts within ourselves. She asks that we all be awaken, regard all lives as valuable as our own, and recognize our own self-value and the value of others.
