{"product_id":"2940157846626","title":"No Royal Road to Reconciliation","description":"Early in her work for peace, Gene became concerned about the psychological causes of violence. Never did she feel that people were congenitally evil; instead, she accepted the Buddhist understanding that the cause of our suffering is ignorance-but ignorance of what? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom her training and practice as client and therapist, she learned that a strong cause of anger and violence is pain. When the pain becomes too great to manage, we are often driven to violence. This insight helped her realize that peace is a healing process for both the violent and the violated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the pamphlet, Gene explains this process. Her suggestions open possibilities for peace which we cannot now imagine, for we will be informed by new wisdom, new compassion.","brand":"Pendle Hill Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071340265712,"sku":"2940157846626","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157846626_p0.jpg?v=1764104944","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157846626","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
