Make Peace, Not War: Day Three with H.H. The Dalai Lama And Others

MP3 Download

When those who spend their lives practicing and teaching ways to inner peace come together with those who devote their lives to political peace and justice, the abstract concept of world peace suddenly begins to crystallize into specific attitudes and actions within the reach of any of us. This is what happened on the third and final day of the "Peacemaking: The Power of Nonviolence" conference. Hear how you can help people in repressed nations; how schools can teach nonviolent behavior; and how the homeless can be effectively helped. In the words of Linda Lantieri, "Every single person has a role to play. None of us is off the hook.... It ís for us to figure out how to be part of that solution, of waging peace in our schools, our homes, our communities." This program also features Nobel Peace Prize-winners the Dalai Lama of Tibet and Jose Ramos-Horta of East Timor, as well as Robert Thurman and Roshi Bernard Gassman. (hosted by Michael Toms)
