Description

“Followers and newcomers to Nhat Hanh’s teaching alike will find this collection inspiring for on a regular basis practice and for social engagement on this planet.”—Publishers Weekly

This choice of autobiographical and teaching stories from peace activist and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh is thought provoking, inspiring, and enjoyable to read. Collected here for the first time, these stories span the creator’s life. There are stories from Thich Nhat Hanh’s childhood and the traditions of rural Vietnam. There are stories from his years as a teenaged novice, as a young teacher and creator in war torn Vietnam, and of his travels all over the world to show mindfulness, make pilgrimages to sacred sites, and influence world leaders.

The tradition of teaching the Dharma through stories goes back no less than to the time of the Buddha. Like the Buddha, Thich Nhat Hanh uses story–telling to interact people’s interest so he can share necessary teachings, insights, and life lessons.
