What does it mean to find freedom in forgiveness? At age 10 Richard Moore was walking home from school in his native Derry, Northern Ireland, when he was shot by a British soldier and nearly killed. Although he survived, he was blinded for life. Yet he never held anger towards the soldier, and over thirty years years later he actually met and befriended him. The Dalai Lama calls Richard his "personal hero" and a living example of the power and possibility of forgiveness. Hosts Kitty Graham and Brendan Ozawa-de Silva speak with Richard about how he found freedom in forgiveness and how we might too.
Richard is executive director and founder of the Irish charity "Children in Crossfire" which he founded to help children in dire poverty, and ultimately to end poverty itself:
