Official synopsis Publisher
THE BELOVED SPIRITUAL CLASSIC: A timeless introduction to Thich Nhat Hanh’s most important teachings, revealing the connection between peace in oneself and peace in the world.
Now updated with a foreword from Dr. Jane Goodall!
One of Thich Nhat Hanh’s first books published in the United States, Being Peace was intended for peace activists and as a commentary on the peace movement of the time. Now translated into more than 30 languages and with half a million copies sold, it has since become an indispensable guide for anyone concerned about the state of the world and the quality of our lives. Thay’s message of “being peace in order to make more peace” is more relevant than ever.
Being Peace contains Thich Nhat Hanh’s key practices and is filled with practical suggestions for how to create a more peaceful world “right in the moment we are alive.” Many of the hallmarks of Thich Nhat Hanh appear here for the first time, in his trademark clear and steady style.
Now featuring a foreword from Dr. Jane Goodall, this beautiful, newly revised edition is the perfect starting point for those who are getting their first introduction to Buddhism as well as a must-have for those already engaged in the tradition.
