Description: Gandhi on Non-Violence by Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Merton, Mark Kurlansky Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An essential compendium for understanding Gandhis profound legacy. Publisher Description Edited, with an introduction, by Thomas Merton; New Preface by Mark Kurlansky The basic principles of Gandhis philosophy of non-violence (ahimsa) and non-violent action (satyagraha) were chosen by Thomas Merton for this compendium in 1965. In his challenging Introduction, Merton emphasizes action rather than pacifism as essential to non-violence, and illustrates how the foundations of Gandhis universal truths are linked to traditional Hindu Dharma, the Greek philosophers, and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Author Biography Educated as a Westerner in South Africa, Mahatma Gandhis 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.
