For young people

“You are the hope of humanity in the making”, says Lord HAMSAH MANARAH to the young people of this changing world, urging them not to fall into the failings of many adults.
– His Teaching encourages boys and girls to develop their physical and moral resilience, courage and effective reflexes, in particular through a well-understood practice of the martial arts: true non-violence is not weakness, nor flight, nor resignation. It is love in strength.
– He gives them useful landmarks (even for adults!) to build their balance and happiness, by becoming actors of a peaceful future:

“A Knight of peace has a sense of honour and duty.
He is loyal, keeps his word and serves the truth.
He is humble but strong, good, generous, forgives offences and develops universal Love.
He keeps a healthy body and renounces all drugs.
He strives to control his gestures, words, thoughts and emotions. He cultivates faith in human worth and respect for life.
He is tolerant. He stands above all prejudices thanks to a constant struggle against the negative elements of his personality.
He faithfully loves his country but does not forget that he is a citizen of the world and of the universe. (…)”

(L’Aumisme, la Doctrine de l’Age d’Or, p. 248)
