In this book. Dr. John McConnell applies Buddhist Psychology to the processes of peace-making. It is eminently practical, intended to help Buddhist peace-makers draw on the immense psychological and spiritual resources to be found in the Buddha's teaching. Part one explores the Buddha's teaching about the causes of suffering and the way of spiritual transformation. It shows how these concepts can be a basis for conflict analysis and peace making. Part two dramatises the mediation of two monks in a conflict between neighbours. Part three considers how the Roots of suffering, identified by the Buddha, may be confronted and transformed during the mediation process. Part four focuses on essential mediation skills, and part five presents the two best- documented accounts of mediation by the Buddha himself. Part six suggests guidelines for managing the mediation process.
