..."We've reached a different point on this planet now where warfare has become counterproductive," said Robert Thurman, a keynote speaker for Naperville's second annual Celebration of Peace.

Thurman, the father of actress Uma Thurman, was the first American to be ordained a Tibetan Buddhist monk, but he gave up his robes when he determined he could impact more people's lives as a university professor. He is now a professor of Indo-Tibetan studies at Columbia University in New York. He also has authored a number of books on Tibet, Buddhism, art, politics and culture.
