Rev. Cristina Moon speaks on the importance of cultivating a fighting spirit to make peace, and on Zen Master Omori Sogen’s teaching that “to live is to kill.” These have important implications for how to begin our training as peacemakers, and the intensity and depth of training that this role can require.
