Military Police in Brazil practice Zen Buddhism
They start their day practicing meditation, in silence, a radical shift from the traditional morning environment of police headquarters. After meditation, they carry on a number of activities, which range from the creation of ikebana flower arrangements, ceramics, tai chi chuan and even participating in a tea ceremony. The officers who have gone through the training say that they feel more prepared to deal with their duties in a non-violent way.
