Thich Nhat Hanh was a world-renowned spiritual teacher and peace activist. Born in Vietnam in 1926, he became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. Over seven decades of teaching, he published more than 100 books, which have sold more than four million copies in the United States alone. Exiled from Vietnam in 1966 for promoting peace, his teachings on Buddhism as a path to social and political transformation are responsible for bringing the mindfulness movement to Western culture. He established the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism in France, now the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe and the heart of a growing community of mindfulness practice centers around the world. He passed away in 2022 at the age of 95 at his root temple, Tu Hieu, in Hue, Vietnam.
"Thich Nhat Hanh's poems have an almost uncanny power to disarm
delusion, awaken compassion, and carry the mind into the immediate
presence of meditation. Thich Nhat Hanh writes with the voice of
the Buddha."
Sogyal Rinpoche
"The clear, still mind of this meditation teacher gives rise to
piercing images time and time again. Nhat Hanh seems an inherently
skilled poet....It is these poetic worksmore than his essays or
lecturesthat show Thich Nhat Hanh clearly to be a Zen mystic."
"San Francisco Chronicle"
"When we despair for our world, this book is a wise friend to turn
to."
