About Into Full Flower:

Elise Boulding, an American Quaker, and Daisaku Ikeda, a Japanese Buddhist, began their journeys in peacebuilding from vastly divergent locales and traditions.  However, as the fifteen intimate conversations of Into Full Flower: Making Peace Cultures Happen reveal, shared wisdom grows from an unwavering commitment to a better world. Throughout the book, the authors explore the dynamic qualities of peace cultures, including:
 
• peacebuilding as a continuum—from the family to global institutions
• the valuing of women’s contributions at all levels of society
• education as a holistic, lifelong process
• celebration of interdependence and a rejection of win-lose mindsets
• faith in our capacity to build on already existing examples of peace cultures
