Religious Teachings on Peace

Most religions contain teachings on peace as central tenets to understand and live. Most also contain instructions about responses to violent or aggressive situations which may compromise peace.

Two recent articles in the Interreligious Insight journal address this theme from Buddhist and Muslim perspectives. See:

Meditation on the Brink: Buddhism and Violence in the Post-9/11 World and Islam Versus Terrorism

Read the Bahai Promulgation of Universal Peace, talks given by Abdulbaha in New York in 1912.

Read about Taoism and Peace

Read Spiritual Teachings for Difficult Times, a collection of essays from different religions.

Read A Human Approach to World Peace by the Dalai Lama.
