Book Description
What can one person do to foster world peace? How does one person's state of mind affect the state of the world? How can the ideal of nonviolence be manifested in daily life? Buddhists have been exploring questions like these for twenty-five centuries, and they are still timely today. Inner Peace, World Peace is the first work in any western language to examine the Buddhist approach to nonviolence. Well-known Buddhist scholars, a noted authority on nonviolent struggle, a prominent Thai Buddhist activist, and other leaders in their fields collaborate to show the contemporary relevance of the Buddhist tradition. The authors also discuss a new international movement known as "socially engaged Buddhism."

Author: Mary Bray Pipher Publisher: Penguin ISBN: 9781594488610 Category : Biography & Autobiography Languages : en Pages : 280
Book Description
In this inspiring memoir, the author of Reviving Ophelia explores her personal search for understanding, tranquility, and respect through her work as a psychologist and seeker. "There are three kinds of secrets, " Pipher says. "Those we keep from everyone, those we keep from certain people, and those we keep from ourselves. Writing this book forced me to deal with all three." After decades of exploring the lives of others through her writing and therapy, Pipher turns her attention to herself--culling insights from her own life to highlight the importance of the journey, not just the destination. She tells her own remarkable story, and in the process reveals truths about our search for happiness and love. While her story is unique, the basic map and milestones are universal--reflecting on her life in a way that allows readers to reimagine theirs.--From publisher description.
Author: His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama Publisher: Library of Tibetan Works and Archives ISBN: 938035956X Category : Philosophy Languages : en Pages : 22
Book Description
His Holiness the Dalai Lama is one of the most respect leaders living today. Wherever he travels, he cuts across religious, national and political barriers and reaches the hearts of human beings. He truly cares for people everywhere, and everything he does is for the sake of achieving peace on this planet. What he says in A Human Approach to World Peace is not complicated or even unusual. In fact, it is almost radical in its simplicity. He feels that science and technology are indeed remarkable but alone are not enough to bring progress and contentment. We are all members of the same human family, and unless we develop a sense of universal responsibility and learn to see each other as brothers and sisters, there can never be world peace. And, above all, His Holiness urges world leaders to meet in this way. ‘We need a revolution,’ he says ‘in our commitment to humanitarian values.’

Author: Joseph Rotblat Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing ISBN: 0857731971 Category : Political Science Languages : en Pages : 162
Book Description
One of the 'inventors' of the nuclear bomb, Sir Joseph Rotblat very soon turned away from weapons research to make a prolonged and principled stand against the dangers of nuclear proliferation. A physicist of great brilliance, he metamorphosed into a campaigner of admired moral conviction and leadership. This series of dialogues between two leading ethical thinkers brings together the courage and humanity of Rotblat with the spiritual wisdom and global visionary outlook of Daisaku Ikeda, the leader of the world's largest and most influential lay Buddhist organisation. Together they reflect on fundamental issues of war and peace, the ethics of nuclear deterrence and the trajectory of Joseph Rotblat's career, from the Manhattan Project to the Pugwash Conference and his Nobel Prize. Rotblat's life-long mantra was that scientists have a moral responsibility to save lives, not destroy them. The integrity of both writers emerges powerfully and inspiringly from their wide-ranging discussions, which serve as a stark warning against the dangers of a resurgent atomic weapons race.

Book Description
"The Little Book of Peace " was written in the spirit to inspire peace in the day-to-day life of modern society, with the belief that world peace starts with the individual, based on the philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism. The Little Book Of Peace is timely and timeless given the ongoing challenges of establishing peace, and honouring the sanctity of human life in today's world. This book is for any human being from any walk of life, regardless of age, race, gender or nationality; It is firmly rooted in the current reality of our individual day to day living, amongst the challenges of work, family life, maintaining various types of relationships within our individual communities and society at large. It goes beyond the focus on the self and self happiness and also aims to make an impact on the positive development of the whole of humanity, that begins with the happiness of the self and spreads through our interaction with those who we are intertwined with. Someone once said to me that the Little Book of Peace is "A balm for the soul" however I would also like to think that most importantly, that it is a balm for our shared humanity. Nola Lucas Book Review: “Nola Lucas is the embodiment of truth and love. She shows up with confidence and fierceness, and at the same time she reveals a vulnerability that is humbling. Her desire to bring people together to awaken and understand each other’s experiences is inspiring. I feel that her Little Book Of Peace is a gift. A beautiful way to share her Buddhist teachings and make them accessible to all. Each page holds a simple truth and a necessary reminder for all of us.” -- Leslie Glickman, Yoga Journey
