The World Peace Diet

Heart Teachings on the Dharma Path
A lecture - presentation by Will Tuttle, Ph.D.

The essence of spiritual practice is awakening to our original wisdom, beyond the confining delusions of our cultural conditioning. The foundation of this awakening is practicing mindfulness and compassion.

Join author Will Tuttle, a former Zen monk and Buddhist practitioner for over 30 years, in a provocative and insightful exploration into the connections between Buddhist practice and our daily lives here in the West.

The World Peace Diet has been called one of the most important books of the 21st century: the foundation of a new society based on the truth of the interconnectedness of all life. It is the first book to make explicit the invisible connections between our meals and our broad range of problems—psychological, social, and spiritual, as well as health and environmental. It offers powerful ways we can all experience healing and peace and contribute to a positive transformation of human consciousness.
Dr. Tuttle is a charismatic speaker with a profoundly compassionate vision.
Please don't miss this opportunity to hear him.

“Use The World Peace Diet as a guide to empower yourselves and others in making dietary choices that are powerful beyond what you can possibly imagine.”
Julia Butterfly Hill, environmental activist and founder, Circle Of Life Foundation

“Thought-provoking and recommended.” Library Journal

“The World Peace Diet is one of the most provocative books I’ve ever read. This is a deep book, aglow with insights that penetrate and expose the complacency of a culture that has strayed painfully far from compassion.” John Robbins, noted author

“Will Tuttle brings a priceless perspective—not only to the planetary crisis confronting us all, but also to powerful ways we each can affect it. This book is radiant with his learning and his compassion.” Dr. Joanna Macy, author, Coming Back To Life

“I am grateful for this powerful and cogent book. It has stretched my thinking (and heart) about animals, compassion, and our society.” John Mackey, founder, Whole Foods, Inc.
