Suffice it to say that all of it is a jewel, a gem, a lotus flower blooming from the mud of everyday life.Buy it, read it, let it seep into you!
A Peacemaker's Manual
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
For anyone interested in making peace both within and without, or who is interested in combining spiritual practice with social action, Roshi Glassman's book is a "must read." He does a fine job of articulating and describing the spititual foundations of peacemaking in a very clear and straightforward manner. I found them both moving and helpful in my own search for a peacemaking path.
