Cultivating Inner Peace
Summary
Using practical, progressive steps, Paul Fleischman takes us into the experience of attention, focus, devotion, and commitment, helping us find our way to that elusive transcendence which is inner peace - ineffable yet always possible. He describes these steps toward peace as an eight-pearled necklace. The pearls can be strung together into a way of life, the first pearl being simply to seek out peaceful people. Fleischman also incorporates moving portraits of those who have conquered this mountain before us - John Muir, Walt Whitman, Gandhi, Thoreau, Tagore, the Nearings, the Buddha, and others - to remind us how people have persevered in a world fraught with distraction.
