Foreword by the Dalai Lama.

Based on the PBS documentary, Forgiveness.

"Forgiveness covers a compelling range of stories-from adultery and personal betrayal-to reconcilation after genocide. The struggle of 60's radicals to cope with the consequences of violent acts of protest-families fractured by infidelity, abandonment-and the spontaneous demonstration of forgiveness following the shooting of Amish children at Nickle Mines. With sensitivity and insight, the book explores why the process and discussion of forgiveness seem to dominate our culture-what is its power...its limitations...and in some instances, its dangers?"--Jacket.
