| | | | In this holiday issue of In the Moment we explore the topic of peace – a universal theme for this season of light. Joseph Goldstein’s article, "Three Means to Peace," asks the penetrating question, “Is it possible to hold differences of view in a larger context of unity rather than in conflict and hostility?” His words address the very heart of Buddhist practice and how it contributes to peace, not only in our everyday life and relationships, but also in the larger context of world peace. Take a few moments to enjoy Peace – our gift to you during this holiday season. In Lovingkindness,
