Known and loved worldwide for his teachings on mindfulness and compassion, Thich Nhat Hanh was once nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr. On Peacemaking, this beloved Zen master returns to the theme that first brought him to the world’s attention: peace, and how to embody it. Looking deeply into the roots of anger, Thich Nhat Hanh emerges with real solutions to the violence we commit against ourselves and each other. Thich Nhat Hanh uses the philosophy of non-dualism to show that we are not separate, but one with our feelings and the world. He teaches that the awareness of anger – not its suppression – is key to its control. From the keys to transforming anger through meditation to putting kindness into action to heal the wounds between nations, here is Thich Nhat Hanh’s personal testament to the spiritual and practical power of nonviolence, with Peacemaking. TOPICS: Interbeing; the effects of awareness; liberation through insight; cultivating nonviolence toward self; understanding your enemies; what the Vietnam War taught us; mindfulness and ecology; restoring yourself; kindness in action; "ideal solitude"; teaching children peacemaking; more.

Hanh was part of a movement called "engaged Buddhism", which combines traditional practices with nonviolent civil disobedience, and he was exiled by both the Communist and non-Communist governments. He is a respected writer and scholar, and founded a retreat in France called Plum Village. Hanh has written several books, including The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: An Introduction to Buddhism, Peace Is Every Step, and Living Buddha, Living Christ.

Outstanding,
This review is from: Peacemaking: How to Be It, How to Do It (Audio CD)
As ususal, Thich Nhat Hanh is masterful in his communication of Buddhist thought without over preaching Buddhism. I am a Christian and everytime i read Thich Nhat Hanh, or Tha^y, i feel more connected to my values. I tried listening to this cd in the car; don't do that, you will relax too much. Tha^y has a very calming voice once you get into the rhythm of his speech. I would recommend this cd to anyone; no matter what relgion, no matter how angry, he will help.
