THE RATNA PRINCIPLE
“Ratna”(pronounced raht-nah) is Sanskrit for
“jewel.” It connotes the idea of a
“wish-fulfilling gem” of wholesome, sane
awareness able to provide unceasingly for the
many needs of others. There is inherent,
boundless wealth, both in ourselves and in the
world, that can be harvested for the common
good. Ratna manifests as an appreciation
of the richness of every situation, even those
that seem confused or lacking, and always sees the
potential for creativity and dignity.
THE TREASURE VASE
Our logo the treasure vase symbolizes an
endless rain of good health and prosperity that
brings the benefits of this world and
of spiritual liberation. The vase harmonizes and
rejuvenates environmental energy, pacifies
internal and external conflict, and increases kindness and wisdom. However much
is removed from it, the treasure vase remains
perpetually full ..... an inexhaustible source of
material and spiritual abundance.
The work Ratna
Peace Initiative does benefits greatly from
the generous efforts of many volunteers. If you
would like to volunteer, please contact us at
