A volume in Peace Education Series Editors Ian Harris, University
of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Edward J. Brantmeier, Colorado State
University, and Jing Lin, University of Maryland, Spirituality,
Religion, and Peace Education attempts to deeply explore the
universal and particular dimensions of education for inner and
communal peace. This co-edited book contains fifteen chapters on
world spiritual traditions, religions, and their connections and
relevance to peacebuilding and peacemaking. This book examines the
teachings and practices of Confucius, of Judaism, Islamic Sufism,
Christianity, Quakerism, Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, and of
Indigenous spirituality. Secondly, it explores teaching and
learning processes rooted in self discovery, skill development, and
contemplative practices for peace. Topics in various chapters
include: the Buddhist practice of tonglen; an indigenous Hawaiian
practice of Ho'oponopono for forgiveness and conflict resolution;
pilgrimage and labyrinth walking for right action; Twelve Step
Programs for peace; teaching from a religious/spiritual
perspective; narrative inquiry, Daoism, and peace curriculum;
Gandhi, deep ecology, and multicultural peace education in teacher
education; peacemaking and spirituality in undergraduate courses;
and wisdom-based learning in teacher education. Peace education
practices stemming from wisdom traditions can promote stillness as
well as enliven, awaken, and urge reconciliation, connection,
wisdom cultivation, and transformation and change in both teachers
and students in diverse educational contexts. In various chapters
of this book, a critique of competition, consumerism, and
materialism undergird the analysis. More than just a critique, some
chapters provide both conceptual and practical clarity for deeper
engagement in peaceful action and change in society. Cultural
awareness and understanding are fostered through a focus on the
positive aspects of wisdom traditions rather than the negative
aspects and historical complexities of violence and conflict as
result of religious hegemony.
