Make Peace, Not War: Day Two with H.H. The Dalai Lama and Others

"A huge tapestry of human good-heartedness" is how Daniel Goleman described a conference entitled "Peacemaking: The Power of Nonviolence." He was one of the organizers of this event, which brought sages of inner peace together with those on the front lines of social and political activism. "More prisons than schools is where this society is drifting," Goleman continues. "It takes courage to say, 'We could do it differently.'" High-level inspiration and practical means for change catalyze each other in an incredible confluence of voices here. This second day of the conference features the Dalai Lama of Tibet, Michael Meade, youth participants Luciano Pesci, Sasha Kellnor-Rogers and Ruth Santos, Jack Kornfield and Sharon Salzburg.
