Synopsis
Writer and Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh provides straightforward advice for living happily and appreciating life's ubiquitous beauty. As in his outstanding book THE MIRACLE OF MINDFULNESS, Hanh captures the nature of human suffering with compassion and empathy, and elucidates a core Buddhist concept that while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Humankind cannot hope to create a sense of universal peace, he maintains, without first finding it within and personally embracing that state of mind. Hanh asks the reader to learn to embody peace itself by adopting mindfulness (or living completely in the moment and not dwelling on some future state of mind). This book also offers some refreshingly simple exercises that include the act of smiling while meditating or just going about daily business.

Publisher's Note
Hanh's Being Peace integrates spiritual practice with social action. "If we are peaceful . . . our entire society will benefit from our peace".

In this simple and very readable classic of contemporary religious literature, Vietnamese monk, author, and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how our state of mind and body can make the world a peaceful place. In the rush of modern life, we often lose touch with the peace that is already available. Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to use the very situations that pressure and antagonize us--traffic jams, a ringing telephone, dirty dishes--and transform them into opportunities for the practice of mindfulness. The deepest satisfactions, he says, lie as close as our next aware breath.

Industry Reviews
"A glass of water in the desert for those interested in both Buddhism and the world."
