FEATURE
Buddhism and Armed Conflict – Buddhists whose belief system is based on peace, compassion for others, and loving kindness have had a lot of inner searching to do: teachers and long time students alike have had moments of bitterness and outrage at the consequences of the events of last September. We include in our feature on Buddhism and Armed Conflict compassionate advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche who shares with our readers his Open Letter to a President, rich with suggestions for spiritual practices, raising children, and creating peace in our own hearts.
