Conference Theme - Having Enough, Finding Spiritual Wealth

In these times when the world is going through an economic crisis, people are losing jobs, work opportunities are fewer and young people feel insecurity about their future, finding our inner wealth is a valuable spiritual gift. Most important yet, is to find the balance between inner and outer wealth. There exists a harmony and tranquility that can be found through meditation, inner silence, and generosity from fair giving and receiving, even in the ups and downs our society is facing. In the end we will be a whole person if we cultivate and accept both sides of ourselves.
