Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese buddhist who has lived in France since the fall of Saigon. In this book, he presents his profound world view in the simplest language and stories. It is so simple that the reader can only soak it in. He presents the great tradition of classic buddhism through examples of mindfulness in daily life. Every action is a sacrament.
Compassion is deep and powerful.
I especially value his description of how to handle our anger by taking care of it while it is hot, neither feeding nor denying it. This book is so practical. And, at the same time, such a lamp for the seeker. In this book, we find a sensitive Buddhist view of Christianity. Thich Nhat Hanh practices the inclusiveness that he preaches and acknowledges the deep truths he finds in in Christianity.
