Featuring an introduction by A Path with Heart author Jack Kornfield!
A bestseller with over 250,000 copies sold and translated into more than 30 languages, Being Peace is the seminal founding work by Zen Master and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh. With a new introduction by Jack Kornfield, this eloquent meditation on “being peace in order to make peace” is more relevant than ever as it reveals the connection between our own happiness and the state of the world around us.
Thich Nhat Hanh’s key practices are resented in simple and clear language, offering practical suggestions for how to create a more peaceful world “right in the moment we are alive.”
At once a useful refresher and an introduction to Buddhism, Being Peace is a timely, essential read for everyday peacemakers concerned about the state of the world and the quality of our lives.

This collection of teachings by noted Vietnamese Buddhist monk and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh will be eagerly read by those concerned about world peace. Rev. Thich claims that world peace starts with the individual's acquiring inner peace. He challenges the reader in warm and anecdotal dialogues:"Have we wasted our hours and days? Are we wasting our lives? . . . Practicing Buddhism is to be alive to each moment." Meditation, says the author, is not an escape from the difficult present but an active form of service to society, directing us to understanding and compassion toward all suffering humanity. The author terms this "engaged Buddhism." Free of jargon and eminently practical, this wise and joyous book celebrates the spirituality inherent in daily life. For academic and public libraries.
