> The atmosphere can be expanded and extended from the individual to

> Personally, being able to establish peace in one's family is the

> A nice poem from the book:

> Peace is every step.
> The shining red sun in my heart.
> Each flower smiles with me.
> How green, how fresh all that grows.
> How cool the wind blows.
> Peace is every step.
> It turns the endless path to joy.
