Practicing Peace

Inspiring teachings on what each of us can do to promote peace from the inside out.

Can there be hope for a peaceful future in times like these? How can we overcome our sense of helplessness when problems seem so big and tensions so strong? Pema Ch dr n here shows us how to look deeply at the underlying causes of these tensions and how we really can create a more peaceful world--by starting right where we are and learning to see the seeds of hostility in our hearts. She draws on Buddhist teachings to explore the origins of anger, aggression, hatred, and war, and offers practical techniques all of us can use to work for genuine, lasting peace in our own lives and in whatever circumstances we find ourselves.
