The book is about a dream of mankind- the dream to live in "peacetime". After many conflicts and wars, in 1901 the humans initiated actions to materialize the dream. But unfortunately, the dream is still a dream after more than one hundred years. Time is nothing but realizing things in succession and is a condition and cause of conditions. Peace time is a mental phenomena and its measuring system is derived from functioning of solar system and cosmological units. The dream is to promulgate 28 days 13 months moon civil calendar which is a perfect, rational, uniform, regular and harmonious time calendar. This provides appropriate impulses to human minds for peaceful responses and to create a peace time culture. The book designs the Peace Calendar with names of 13 months of the year; each month promoting different moral values (as components of Peace) to mould the human minds towards "peacetime". The book also highlights the present problem of violence, terror and meltdowns in economic, social and environmental sectors in each of the 13 months. The UN is urged upon to take quick decision for fulfillment of the dream to save the humanity from large scale destruction and to switch over from the present "miserable time" to "peace time" by 2012-13, the cut off year for the beginning of holocaust in human civilization.

One of the great treasures of Buddhist literature, is mDo-mdzangs-blun or the Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish as it is known to the Mongols. The text was translated to Mongolian from Tibetan as the Üliger-ün Dalai or Ocean of Narratives. It is one of the most interesting, enjoyable and readable Buddhist scriptures. For centuries, it has been an inexhaustible source of inspiration, instruction and pleasure for all who have been able to read it. The history of this unusual scripture is still uncertain. Legend has it that the tales were heard in Khotan by Chinese monks, who translated them (but from what language?) into Chinese, from which it was translated into Tibetan, then into Mongolian and Oirat. The Narratives are Jatakas, or rebirth stories, tracing the causes of present tragedy in human lives to events which took place in former lifetimes. The theme of each narrative is the same: the tragedy of the human condition, the reason for this tragedy and the possibility of transcending it. But unlike Greek tragedy, Buddhist tragedy is never an end in itself, i.e. a catharsis, but a call to transcend that which can be transcended and need not be endlessly endured. The people we meet in the Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish, although supposedly living in the India of the Buddha’s time, might also be living at present in New York City, a small rural town or Leningrad, and the problems they face are the same problems that men have had to face always and everywhere. Herein lies the timeless appeal of this profound Buddhist scripture.
