Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

If Vietnamese Zen monk and peace activist Nhat Hanh has said the same thing over and over again, it's because his message can't be restated too often in a violent world: peace can be found in every step, every breath. Nhat Hanh's books, many of which are transcriptions of talks, have ranged widely, from poetry to Buddhist commentaries to reflections on Jesus. This newest is filled with meditations and practices for individuals and families; since relatively few people choose monasticism as a lifestyle, the practice of household peace through deep listening and loving speech is eminently useable. Moreover, as Nhat Hanh shows in his stories and examples of working with people in conflict, such techniques underlie peace in the political arena as well. Like the Dalai Lama, Nhat Hanh possesses an extraordinary ability to speak simply about complex Buddhist teachings such as the true, transient nature of existence and how to act mindfully and compassionately in light of that view. His simplicity goes hand in hand with a challenging austerity, counseling against the consumption of things that lead to unmindfulness, like alcohol or "toxic" media products that feed inner "seeds," or tendencies, toward violence. Written in Nhat Hanh's characteristically soothing way, this is a practical and basic book of his profound and comprehensive teachings, especially for families with children.

Great book

January 9, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book has become one of my favorite Thich Nhat Hanh books. The first of his books I ever purchased was Peace is Every Step. I feel that one is also great although my feelings may be slightly biased since it was the first I read from him. Some of Thich Nhat Hanh's books tend to repeat the same sayings or practices from other books. They are nice teachings to be reminded of but sometimes it can get a little monotonous. I felt that Creating True Peace shared new stories and sayings I hadn't yet read from him. My copy is now filled with underlined quotes. The book also offers some nice meditation practices for helping to create peace in yourself and I go back and use these meditations often! This book has helped me personally in my daily life.

Creating True Peace

July 25, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I recommend this book to anyone seeking a gentle spiritual practice which will enable them to water the seeds of love, compassion, understanding and reconciliation in their own lives and the lives of those around them. The author's teaching is clear and direct, enabling readers to acknowledge their own pain and the pain they cause others and yet without being judgmental or promoting guilt. Although based upon the author's own background of Buddhism, I have found that the practice of mindfulness meditation can be used with benefit by a person of another religious background. Certainly the teachings are presented as tools for peaceful living, rather than an effort to proselytise. As a mother and grandmother, I thought that sometimes the author's background as a monastic created a somewhat idealised version of family dynamics, but perhaps that is only to be expected! I have owned my own copy of the book for several years, but recently purchased copies for each of my adult daughters. Surely that is recommendation enough!

Great Book, teaches compassion and understanding

April 5, 2009

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is a great book, whether you are into the Buddhist beliefs or not. It teaches so much about relationships, understanding others and being able to calm ourselves when needed. It teaches how to deal with anger with our children, spouses, or anyone. It can help in you home as well as in a work environment. It can create peace in our lives, calmness, less stress, which I believe would help just about anyone. I would recommend you read it with an open mind and heart and you will get something out of it. I believe there is something for everyone.
