Thich Nhat Hanh – Being PeaceParallax Press | 2002 | 1 hours | ISBN: 1888375280 | MP3 | CBR 32 kbpsThich Nhat Hanh delivered the words on this compact disk to an assembly of 700 gathered at Green Gulch Zen Center in Muir Beach, California, on November 3, 1985, and inspired the creation of the best selling book, Being Peace. The teachings contained here provide a crucial antidote to our busy lives, and because of Hanh’s experience with the war and his willingness to face the realities of our time, these teachings are also about suffering, reconciliation, and peace.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? . . . Practising 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.
