Book Description

September 1996
Thich Nhat Hanh shares heartfelt moments in his own development—drinking the clear water of a hermit's well; becoming a monk to practice for his generation, society, and the world, and falling in love. Cultivating the Mind of Love-interweaves these themes with an examination of Buddhist texts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational and spiritual influence in our daily lives., January 16, 1999
By A Customer
This is a "can't stop reading" book. I have read Thich Nhat Hanh books before but this book is my favorite until now.Every page is filled with compelling teachings of buddhism and beauttiful thoughts. The book is a love story in which, Hanh basically combines the teachings of Buddah with the story of his first love. While reading this book you feel the love in the air and become totally happy. Don't believe me, find out for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thay comes to life in talking about his own love story, July 7, 2009
By 
I was deeply touched by this beautiful book. I have read many of Thich Nhat Hanh's books and have come to revere him as a wise and understanding spiritual teacher. In Cultivating the Mind of Love, he also shares his personal side, which really made him come to life for me. I admired his courage in talking about his own experience of falling in love, (which he readily admits monks are not supposed to do) to offer us a message about love. With his usual eloquence, Thay uses his own love story to explain how personal love can be transformed to service a greater love for all beings, or the true essence of the term bodhichitta, in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. For those on the spiritual path, this book also offers great insights into the value of dharma, sangha and other Buddhist concepts. Romantics also will not be disappointed!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I am very taken with Thich Nhat Hanh, and will read anything he has written at least once. Some of his earlier works are a bit too academic for me, but the rest of his work talks directly to me, and has been very helpful in changing course in my life.
