"One has to speak out and stand up for one's convictions. Inaction at a time of conflagration is inexcusable."―Mahatma Gandhi"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Educated as a Westerner in South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi's desire to set aside the caste system as well as his political struggles in India, led him to discover the dynamic power of non-cooperation.
Thomas Merton (1915-1968) entered the Cistercian Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, following his conversion to Catholicism and was ordained Father M. Louis in 1949. During the 1960s, he was increasingly drawn into a dialogue between Eastern and Western religions and domestic issues of war and racism. In 1968, the Dalai Lama praised Merton for having a more profound knowledge of Buddhism than any other Christian he had known. Thomas Merton is the author of the beloved classic The Seven Storey Mountain.
