In this extensive collection, Thich Nhat Hanh delves into the origins of war and the art of restoring peace.

In the first six videos, he explores the ideas and wrong perceptions that fuel the wars within and around us.

The next ten videos focus on how to develop the kind of understanding needed to respond nonviolently to global violence.

In the last three videos, Thay explores the urgent need for a global ethic that can sustain collective awakening and fuel a silent revolution.
