Inspiring teachings on what each of us can do to promote peace from the inside out-now available in a pocket-sized paperback edition

With war

and violence flaring all over the world, many of us are left feeling

vulnerable and utterly helpless. In this book Pema Ch dr n draws on

Buddhist teachings to explore the origins of aggression, hatred, and

war, explaining that they lie nowhere but within our own hearts and

minds. She goes on to offer practical techniques any of us can use to

work for peace in our own lives, at the level of our habits of thought

and action. It's never too late, she tells us, to look within and

discover a new way of living and transform not only our personal lives

but our whole world.

This is a pocket-sized reissue of Practicing Peace in Times of War.

Reviews for Practicing Peace

A solid reinforcement on how to stop the reflexive and habitual emotional reaction to perceived hostility through patience, pausing, breathing. It's not easy, but it is simple. -- Publishers Weekly In her timely new book, Pema Chodron offers her insights on the origins of world conflict. Anger originates in our own hearts, she asserts, not on the battlefield. Only by checking our aggression on a personal level can we hope to sow the seeds of peace. -- Body & Soul
