Being Peace - Thich Nhat Hanh

Being Peace has become a classic of contemporary religious literature. In his simple and very readable style, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how our state of mind and body can make the world a peaceful place. In the rush of modern life, we often lose touch with the peace that is already available. We learn to use the very situations that pressure and antagonize us-traffic jams, a ringing telephone, dirty dishes-and transform them into opportunities for the practice of mindfulness. The deepest satisfactions lie as close as our next aware breath.
