Synopsis

"Our biggest fear," says poet and Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, "is that we will become nothing when we die. If we think that we cease to exist when we die, we have not looked very deeply at ourselves."

It is possible to live every day without being afraid of what happens when we die. Through a close examination of who we are, how we exist, and how we live, we can conquer our fear to live a freer and happier life. Through stories and lucid teachings, Thich Naht Hanh brings peace of mind to a difficult subject, and shows is how to live a happier life, free of fear.

Mình đọc cuốn này sau ba ngày làm việc điên dại khi biết tin anh trai mình mất. Không có cảm xúc nào diễn tả được việc người thân mất nhưng lại không được gặp mặt lần cuối, không được đưa tang do phải chịu giãn cách xã hội. Kí ức về anh trai với mình cũng không nhiều vì mình sinh ra khi anh đã trưởn......more

I use the charming stories in this book for my own classes. Of all the books on my bookshelf about Buddhism and emptiness, this is the one I turn to when I need to come back home.
