Your Path to Cultivating a Nonviolent Heart
It’s easy to feel discouraged in the sometimes lonely work of choosing nonviolence, when everyone around you unthinkingly “others” those they dislike or who don’t think like them.
So here are five encouragements which are worth practicing—starting today!
Resist duality; embrace essential oneness.
Let go old patterns; receive new life.
Lay down the weapons; become a blessing.
Let go the stony heart; live with a heart of flesh.
Stop the interior war; become a channel of peace.
