War and conflict cause suffering for millions of people around the world on a daily basis. Divisions of race, creed, politics, and religion form barriers that separate us. War may not be present in our immediate daily lives, but at any time somewhere in the world someone is suffering, families are being torn apart, and lives are being lost.
We might feel helpless and unsure of what to do about the seemingly unchanging human tendency towards violence, but there are small steps that each of us can take to try to bring peace to the world.
This time we speak to our good friend Kamata Koshi, a Zen Buddhist monk in Kagoshima on a quest to break down the barriers that separate religion to work towards the common goal of world peace.
