Elise Boulding, an American Quaker, and Daisaku Ikeda, a Japanese Buddhist, began their journeys in peacebuilding from vastly divergent locales and traditions. However, as the fifteen intimate 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: peacebuilding as a continuum - from the 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 win-lose mindsets, and faith in our capacity to build on already existing examples of peace cultures.
