The book concludes with the author’s profound vision and determination to make efforts to alleviate the suffering of all people.Included are such classic Thich Nhat Hanh practices as the conflict resolution tool of the Peace Treaty; his thoughts on a "diet for a mindful society" based on his interpretation of the 5 Mindfulness Trainings, and his early writings on the environment.

About Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh was born in central Vietnam in 1926 and lived in a country at war until he was forced into exile in the 1960s for advocating peace between the warring sides. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., described by H. H. the Dalai Lama as someone whose teachings "can change individual lives and the life of our society, . . . [drawing] the connection between personal, inner peace and peace on Earth." Thich Nhat Hanh returned to Vietnam after more than half a century in exile and died in January 2022.

The perfect time to stay in and reflect. I didn't......more

Par exemple, prendre l......more

Goodreads review by Femboy on May 29, 2023

Dieses kurze Buch führt ein bisschen in die Buddhistische Philosophie und Meditationen. Es ist für westliche nicht Buddhisten und im zweiten Teil besonders für Christen geschrieben.
