In this Buddhist perspective on resolving conflict, global spiritual leader, poet, and peace activist Thích Nhất Hạnh demonstrates how a real peace process is based on spiritual, not political strength. Inspired by an ongoing Buddhist retreat project for Palestinians and Israelis, Peace Begins Here offers practical ways to handle our strong emotions and misperceptions and provides a possible way out of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Highlights include personal stories from participants in the peace retreats and Thích Nhất Hạnh’s collected practices for peace, including deep listening, deep relaxation, mindful walking, mindful eating, and loving speech.
