On November 25th, 2009, a total of 81,399 minutes of stillness were pledged and given by people from all faiths, from different countries and from children in schools. Many who took part commented on the power that stillness gives to unite people and to provide deep happiness.  Next year, let's make it a million.

If people come together with a single intention, I believe that we could bring about extraordinary change.  In 2007, this belief became an idea which brought people from different faith backgrounds together in stillness.  A 10 minute silence was held at St. Martins-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square, London, joined by thousands of people across the world including HH Dalai Lama and fellow religious leaders in Amritsar, India. People across the world joined in.

On 25 November 2009, let everybody who will, exercise their belief in the unity of spirit and the power of stillness, and join together on justthisday. 

       Let's recognise our common humanity.   Let's be still together. 

      With your help, Just This Day 2009 will have an even bigger impact.
