Thich Nhat Hanh

Composed over the last forty years, these poems reflect the author’s intimate experience of war and deep contemplation of hunger, desolation, destruction, and fear. His clarity of awareness illuminates each poem and profoundly transforms these experiences of darkness.

The radiant and elegant cosmos that we can observe is in fact our own consciousness itself and not something outside of it.

We can’t heal with our minds alone. Thinking can be something productive and creative, but without integrating body and mind, much of our thinking is useless and unproductive.

Thich Nhat Hanh, author of Peace is Every Step, The Miracle of Mindfulness and many other books, is one of the most delightful and skillful awareness teachers of our time.
