Being Peace

Description

Thich Nhat Hanh, poet, zen master, and chairman of the Vietnamese Buddhist Peace delegation during the war, was nominated by Dr. Martin Luther King for the Mobel Peace Prize. Thomas Merton described him as “more my bother than many who are nearer to me in race and nationality because he and I see things in exactly the same way.”

The author of Peace is everystep, The miracle of Mindfulness, Present moment Wonderful Moment and many other works, Nhat Hans lives in exile in France, where he teaches, writes, gardens and help refugees worldwide. In this book of talks to American peace activists and students of meditation, Thich Nhat Hanh thoroughly explains the importance of Being Peace in order to make peace.

“Everyday we do things, we are things that have to do with peace. If we are aware of our lifestyle, our way of consuming, our way of looking at things, we will know how to make peace right in the moment we are alive.”
