00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:03.406
I think spirituality is really
essential to the peace process.

2
00:00:03.431 --> 00:00:07.570
My definition of spirituality
is engagement with

3
00:00:07.595 --> 00:00:09.480
noble human qualities

4
00:00:09.505 --> 00:00:12.354
like love and compassion
and forgiveness.

5
00:00:12.379 --> 00:00:14.527
And fortunately for us,
human beings,

6
00:00:14.552 --> 00:00:17.632
there are an infinite
number of ways to do that.

7
00:00:17.664 --> 00:00:21.105
So the more ways that
we can find to be spiritual

8
00:00:21.130 --> 00:00:23.433
I think the better off
we are and in that sense

9
00:00:23.458 --> 00:00:27.152
I'm viewed as a Buddhist,
I'm inspired by

10
00:00:27.177 --> 00:00:28.840
the teachings of Jesus Christ.

11
00:00:28.865 --> 00:00:31.832
I'm inspired by the teachings
of the Prophet Muhammad

12
00:00:31.857 --> 00:00:34.520
-Peace Be Upon Him-
and I'm inspired by

13
00:00:34.545 --> 00:00:36.520
the Talmud and the Torah

14
00:00:36.545 --> 00:00:39.786
and in all forms
of human spirituality.

15
00:00:39.811 --> 00:00:43.624
I think there's core common
threads in spirituality

16
00:00:43.656 --> 00:00:46.239
that even if you're
like a secular humanist

17
00:00:46.264 --> 00:00:48.466
and you don't believe
in any kind of higher power

18
00:00:48.491 --> 00:00:52.333
you still are moved by compassion.
You're moved by forgiveness.

19
00:00:52.358 --> 00:00:56.153
And the more often we can
anchor ourselves

20
00:00:56.178 --> 00:01:00.082
in those noble human qualities,
the more spiritual we become

21
00:01:00.107 --> 00:01:02.984
and the more able
we are to address

22
00:01:03.009 --> 00:01:06.720
these very serious problems
we face as a human race.
