The rise of terrorism and fundamentalism in recent times has brought about phenomenal changes in global politics. These call for a new, bold, and imaginative statecraft from world leaders. Underlining the need to transcend age old peace mechanisms and to reconstruct our language of discourse, this book propounds the concept of Buddha - an eternal reality or continuum, a dialogue of harmony, and peaceful living. Buddha recognizes the distinction between plural societies and pluralism. Buddha facilitates exchange of views, and promotes understanding of the collective good.
