The Protocol of the Gods: A Study of the Kasuga Cult in Japanese History
Practicing Peace was previously published under the title, Practicing Peace in Times of War. I did not know this when I started reading this tiny beauty of a book, but as I've read the previous title, it soon became apparent, because I have memorized much of it! Each time I read it, I am always reminded of one of Yogi Bhajan's mantras on peace, that I know by heart, "Peace unto me, Peace within me, Peace in my mind, Peace in my surroundings, Peace to all, Peace to the Universe. May there be peace in the world. May there be peace all over the world, forever." That's the powerful lesson of this little book.
