Finding peace in times of war

"If we want there to be peace in this world, we must be fearless enough to appease the unyielding rigidity of our heart. It's about finding the soft spot and staying with it. That is true peace practice." We live in a world dominated by wars and conflicts. Often we are helpless in the face of the multitude of crises, and the frustration leads to anger and hatred, even within ourselves. How do you break this cycle of unhappiness? The world-famous Buddhist nun and author Pema Chödrön illuminates the topic from a classical Buddhist perspective, but remains very close to practice: because only those who find peace within themselves and actively practice it can contribute to a more peaceful world.
