Organization
United Nations Association Film Festival
Established at Stanford University, United Nations Association Film Festival (UNAFF) screens documentaries by international filmmakers dealing with UN topics such as human rights, environmental survival, women's issues, children, refugee protection, homelessness, racism, disease control, universal education, war and peace. The Festival offers a unique opportunity to view films that are rarely screened for public audiences, since they are often too political for commercial theatrical release. UNAFF enables audience members to become familiar with global problems, and to provide a better understanding of the means to address these problems.

My comment is a thought from the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation- Eknath Easwaran's We should take care not to make the intellect our Gods;it has,of course,powerful muscles, but no personality-Albert Einstein. The teachings of great spirtual figures such as the Buddha are practical, not theoretical. The scriptures are meant for translation into daily lives over a long period of years. And in order to practice the teachings of the Compassionate Buddha,or any other teacher,we need an immense tool like mediation by which we can work on our consciousness. In this, it is not of much help to have only an intellectual understanding.The Buddha doesn't talk about theory. Like All Great Teachers, he says, "These are things that you can verify for yourself." He is a supreme scientist who will say"Undertake this experiment and discover the results for yourself". I say this because we should All Be Change Agents. The Humane Renaissance Movement is about YOU being the Change You Want to See. Collapse
