Product Description:

• Elise Boulding, an American Quaker, and Daisaku Ikeda, a Japanese Buddhist, began their journeys in peace building from vastly divergent locales and traditions. However, as the fifteen initmate conversations of Into Full Flower: Making Peace Cultures Happen reveal, shared wisdom grows from an unwavering commitment to a better world. Throughout the book, the authors explore the dynamic qualities of peace cultures, including:
• * peace building as a continuum - from family to global institutions
• * the valuing of women's contributions at all levels of society
• * education as a holistic, lifelong process
• * celebration of interdependence and a rejection of wo=in-lose mindsets
• * faith in our capacity to build on already existing examples of peace cultures
