The Art of War and Peace: Developing Our Candlelight-Like Wisdom

By Jampa Kunchog Pryor

Conflict resolution. Strategy for success. Contemplation. What is most interesting about the discussion of the Art of War and Peace (AWP) is the necessity of establishing a basic understanding of the title. If the understanding of name is not comprehended, the reason for the composition becomes unclear. It is my intention is for the reader to understand that the rules governing the Art of War are the same rule that govern the Art of Peace. The aims that govern one, govern the other and it is logically essential that to understand one, we must understand the other. We can only understand the nature of conflict resolution if we understand the causes of conflict. What marries the Art of War and Peace is the concept that armed conflict should be avoided as expressed in the words of Sung Tzu, "The superior person wins his battles without fighting". The reality of The Art of War and the Art of Peace is that conflict is inevitable. Therefore we should prepare ourselves for this reality. The resolution of conflict comes from our own ability to overcome it by knowledge of the rules of engagement. Conflict survives because of doctrines of attrition. Attrition extends our reasons to commit to conflict, limiting our sight and vision that are necessary to continue forward. The Art of War and Peace is a training guide that is essential to those who wish to create a greater meaning of what we do. The words and meaning will be out of reach to those who are orthodox in their understanding. The reality is, "We are only limited by the beliefs we have". If our beliefs are expandable, we will understand well the art.
