abstract	The article is concerned with the teaching of peace as a creative spiritual and moral process in the Baha’i Faith. The whole worldview of this religion is permeated by this teaching. Peace-making is a cornerstone of its approach to both the individual and the collectivity, including the whole of humanity, based on a certain vision of its development perspectives. The Baha’i religion puts forward a system of moral and ethical norms, psychological attitudes and mechanisms to attain this goal. Since peace is understood not as an abstract concept but as a philosophy of life it is proper to define it as a “peace-making culture.” This is illustrated in the article by numerous quotes from Baha’i Holy Writings and other texts in the authoritative Russian translations and in the provisional translations of the present author and his predecessors.
