It’s hard to have a war when we all stand on common ground.
There is no way to peace, peace is the way
-Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh

Here’s my newest Substack essay, recounting what we can learn from the time that the Buddha stopped a war. It’s a good time to remember that, as Thich Nhat Hanh said, there is no way to peace, peace is the way.
Would love to have you subscribe!

I gave you 5 stars on audible and amazon. Really enjoyed it. Recommended it to family member teachers too. Keep up the great work! 👏👏👏👏🍀🍀🍀🍀
If words mean anything, this is a war, senator.
And if nothing else, we must insist that words matter.
There is little most of us can do to stop the war, other than make our voices heard. But as I argue in my new book On Mindful Democracy, we can prevent the war from spreading to our words.
Thank you! Reviews matter a lot for a book’s reputation so thank you for taking the time to review. With gratitude!
Wow, thank you so much my friend—for reading, and for this generous post. I’m so glad that you liked the book. I hope it will bring some compassion into our politics, which right now is so cruel. Take good care!
Got the chance to talk with David and Chris from Becoming a True Human podcast—we had an amazing discussion about mindfulness, connection, and democracy. If you don’t follow these wonderful people look them up! @drkopacz.bsky.social @chris6572.bsky.social
Had an amazing talk with Ethan from The Road Home—check it out! And if you don’t follow @ethannichtern.com check out his page, he’s a very wise student of politics. Take good care friends!
Just received this by @jeremydavidengels.bsky.social and have a feeling it will provide important architecture for the "creative commons" we are working on.
