Pocket Peace is a collection of more than 50 concise spiritual practices, distilled from a Buddhist teaching, that can help one think, speak, and act wisely in life's most challenging situations. These practices, small enough to fit in a pocket yet powerful enough to change a life, can uplift the spirit, help one deal with disappointment and anger, and bring inner peace and greater happiness.
"In Pocket Peace Allan walks us through the world, asks us to pay attention, stay awake inside and out, and fills our pockets to overflowing with small, good things to do . . . Allan offers us this fiercely compassionate clarity: No matter who we are, what we believe, how sweet or beautiful our thoughts or ideas, when we step onto the land, into the street, the marketplace, the world, it matters what we do." —from the Foreword by Wayne Muller
