The best things come in small packages,

This review is from: Be Still and Know: Reflections from Living Buddha, Living Christ (Paperback)
I passed by this book four times, picking it up, and putting it down - three times. It seemed too much money for so little book. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you are someone who can think and read between the line(s) (as many of the exceprts ARE just one line!) then this will be a very fulfilling book for you. If you need a framework to support the observations, then maybe you should get the full book. Either way, it's a wonderful way to spend many a half an hour, reading and re-reading.

This review is from: Be Still and Know: Reflections from Living Buddha, Living Christ (Paperback)
This is a very well written, informative and thoughtful book. While not very long, it contains bits of wisdom that will actually make the reader contemplate what they are reading. I read this while sitting in the library, but would not hesitate to buy it from one of the "lower price" sellers. A good blend of Christianity and Buddhism. Recommended!

This review is from: Be Still and Know: Reflections from Living Buddha, Living Christ (Paperback)
Thich Nhat has recognized the bridge between Christianity and Buddhism that could be applied to all philosophies. "Be Still and Know" is a compilation of meditations derived from his work, "Living Buddha, Living Christ". Each meditation is an invitation to open our minds to the whole and to eliminate the barriers and limitations invented by the religious. Truth, peace and acceptance are the paths he lays out for us to follow if we so choose.Living Buddha, Living Christ 10th Anniversary Edition
