Synopsis

An ideal starting point for those interested in Buddhism, Being Peace contains Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings on peace and meditation.Using real examples from his own life, as well as poems and fables, Nhat Hanh explains his key practices for living “right in the moment we are alive.” These lessons are taught with fine writing and sparkling phrases that draw the reader in and make Being Peace an audiobook that encourages multiple listenings.Still as timely as when it was first published over twenty-five years ago, Being Peace is a revelation for anyone concerned with the state of the world and the quality of life.

Goodreads review by Nguyên on July 12, 2022

Ban đầu nghĩ sẽ không học được gì mới từ cuốn sách này. Cái gọi là "muốn an được an" chẳng phải quá rõ ràng tới sáo rỗng rồi sao? Tất nhiên là thầy Hạnh lần nào cũng khiến tôi bất ngờ và được khai sáng. Nói không có gì mới cũng được vì ý tưởng gốc trong sách của Thích Nhất Hạnh luôn có thể thấy ở ki......more

Goodreads review by Iona on April 08, 2023

I didn’t find this book to be as easy-to-read as ”Peace is every step”, which I previously reviewed. I feel that it goes more deeply into things and thus is more challenging. Thich Nhat Hanh is a Buddhist from Vietnam who now lives in exile in France. He recently had a stroke at the age of about 90 a......more
