Bernie Glassman articulated the Three Tenets of the Zen Peacemakers early in the evolution of the organization. But these three, simple, profound, vows or commitments can also be taken as a complete practice for our life: I will embody Not Knowing, thereby giving up fixed ideas. I will Bear Witness, opening my heart to the joy and suffering of life. I will take Loving Action arising out of not-knowing and bearing witness. We can practice and manifest our true selves in every situation and with everything that arises, using the Three Tenets.
