Thich Nhat Hanh: Basic Buddhist Wisdom

Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the foremost teachers of Buddhism in the West, and here he explores Buddhism and Christianity, and the concepts of soul, impermanence, mindfulness and much more. "Everything is impermanent," he says. "Not only is your body impermanent, but your feelings, your perceptions, your mental formations, your consciousness also.... Instead of complaining that things are impermanent, we have to welcome impermanence as a factor to make life possible--Long Live Impermanence!" Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King, Jr. during the Vietnam War,

Thich Nhat Hanh is the author of many books, including Living Buddha, Living Christ (Riverhead 1995) and Cultivating the Mind of Love: The Practice of Looking Deeply in the Mahayana Buddhist Tradition (Parallax 1996).
