INNER PEACE AS A WAY OF LIFE

 

His Holiness the Dalai Lama says, “World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just the mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.”

I will tell the story of my own journey into studying Buddhism, how I came to write books based on Shantideva’s teachings of The Six Perfections, and about the every-day practicality of certain Buddhist principles such as Interdependence, Impermanence, Karma and Equanimity and how understanding and working with these principles can help cultivate peace.Record producer and Ridgefield resident, Gary Lefkowith will introduce the event. He and I will perform some of our original music.
