June 5 Tip: Listen to a TED Talk about non-violence

Listen to a TED Talk about non-violence

(The June 5 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace)

http://www.ted.com/talks/scilla_elworthy_fighting_with_non_violence

How do you deal with a bully without becoming a thug? In this wise and soulful talk, peace activist Scilla Elworthy maps out the skills we need — as nations and individuals — to fight extreme force without using force in return. To answer the question of why and how non-violence works, she evokes historical heroes — Aung San Suu Kyi, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela — and the personal philosophies that powered their peaceful protests.
