More DescriptionPeace and justice are frequently invoked as ideals. They often end up mere slogans. In their new dialogue book, Peace, Justice, and the Poetic Mind, co-authors Stuart Rees and Daisaku Ikeda share ideas on how to avoid this fate. A number of commitments make this possible. There is the commitment, not to any ideology, but to protecting and nurturing the dignity of all people. There is the commitment to nonviolence as a "law for life."
