The Stone Boy and other stories,
By Nissa (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Stone Boy and Other Stories (Paperback)
I love all of Thich Nhat Hanh's books. He writes about Buddhism, human rights, and personal healing from trauma in a universal and clear way. This book is especially beautiful. These are fictional stories that show Vietnamese culture, and Thich Nhat Hanh's own experiences. He transforms incredible pain into beauty that teaches deep truths.

Perennial Favorite,

This review is from: The Stone Boy and Other Stories (Paperback)
Published in 1996, The Stone Boy remains a perennial favorite of mine, written by Zen master and teacher, Thich Nhat Hahn. He is a master storyteller and a poet, and this collection of short fictional stories explores the universal themes of love and compassion, against a backdrop of Vietnamese culture and his own spiritual experiences.
I personally appreciate being introduced to another culture, and particularly when the author is able to show how the thread of human connection transcends the visible world. These stories are infused with cathartic wisdom that permeates your soul, and showers you with sparks of inner awakening to the sacredness of all life. If words define our reality, this clustering of words articulates a mindful and luminous world of interconnection.
