The Chandos shares with other peace-building organisations the belief that working for peace must start with oneself and then work outwards; 'Peace from Inside Out'.
The book 'Evolving the Spirit' outlined the 10 steps appropriate for developing the spirit of inner peace, on the understanding that if one changes from within, none around can maintain their old position. So the second half of the book took that theory out into the real world, to witness it in action. For some time, the most inspiring example of this spirit of nonviolent engagement was recognised in the Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
The Chandos has therefore engaged in every possible organisation and individual working towards giving Burma the democratic 'nuance' needed to bring lasting stability.
The founder talks of the need for 'civil-isation', not as a Western interpretation but as a universal understanding and a process. There is a realisation that any engagement beyond oneself is as much an opportunity to learn from other's experience.
