Rendition Toward Books Being Peace (Being Peace)
Being Peace I keep Thich Naht Hanh's books in my book case but anymore I do not read them. I think of him often, ever since he had a stroke. He made it though, but I can't find out how he is. As far as I know he is still alive and still a very wise but old man. Some days when I walk in the woods I try to breathe in peace and breathe it out again, but it has been so many years that now I think more about what people are going through in the world and the changes that are taking place in this earth, and I am too saddened to think of peace. Yesterday, when I walked through the woods the leaves were falling. For the first time that I could ever remember I actually heard them fall. They fell like paper rain on the forest floor. Maybe Mother Earth had heard it too. I just know though, that she weeps too much these days and probably doesn't hear anything anymore. Maybe like me, she is only hearing her own pain. And I just wish that I could breathe in peace and breathe out peace again. written by Jessica Slade, 2017Be Specific About Appertaining To Books Being Peace (Being Peace)

This book is about the practice of mindfulness and meditation to help oneself be in the world with understanding and compassion for self and others. I first read it in 1988 and it is just as cogent and helpful today as ever.The more we see, the more we understand. The more we understand, the easier it is for us to have compassion and love. Understanding is the source of love. Understanding is love itself. p.107This book is incredibly inspiring and insightful. Thich Nhat Hanh writes in a simple and beautiful way and introduces us the teachings of Buddhism and how to use these teachings and guidelines in our daily lives. He educates us on how to be more peaceful and work for peace in order to make our society more
This book, recommended by my then therapist, skewed my vision for the better. Instead of seeing black & white, I started seeing and understanding all the shades of grey. The Middle Way. A little hokey, but whatever, it works if you want it to.
"Learn to look at other beings with the eyes of compassion." Hanh's meditations (it's actually, according to the introduction, a series of talks he gave) include many such helpful ideas about how to integrate peace and awareness into one's life. Meditation, he reminds us, is not about withdrawing from the world but about bringing one's most reflective and present self into the world.The Buddhist monk method of dealing with interpersonal conflicts that he outlines in the chapter titled
I read this book years ago when I took a grad school class on Buddhist meditation practices. I liked it then. I liked it even more this time around, 15 years later. Thich Nhat Hanh is often quoted, because he's pithy and truly excellent as a teacher. However, in larger doses...he's even better. I'm coming to this book as a traditionally observant Jewish yeshivah/rabbinical student. I think, along with Thomas Merton and several other teachers from a variety of religions, that Thich Nhat Hanh's
Even though some references are a little dated (Cold War), this book is entirely relevant now: in order to achieve peace, we each have to become peaceful. We can't wait for peace to happen, we must live it.
Thich Nhat Hanh's "Being Peace" is an excellent book. It contains a collection of teachings written by Nhat Hanh that cover typical Buddhist topics including (but not limited to) peace, consciousness, interbeing, meditation, love, understanding, and mindfulness. The wisdom found throughout the book has the potential to awaken readers that have an open mind. There is something about his writing style that makes for easy reading and his message seems to be absorbed subconsciously in my mind.
