Book description
Lucidly and beautifully written, PEACE IS EVERY STEP contains
commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes and stories from Nhat
Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader.
It begins where the reader already is - in the kitchen, office,
driving a car, walking in a park - and shows how deep meditative
presence is available now. Nhat Hanh provides exercises to increase
our awareness of our own body and mind through conscious breathing,
which can bring immediate joy and peace. Nhat Hanh also shows how to
be aware of relationships with others and of the world around us, its
beauty and also its pollution and injustices. The deceptively simple
practices of PEACE IN EVERY STEP encourage the reader to work for
peace in the world as he or she continues to work on sustaining inner
peace by turning the 'mindness' into the mindful.
'This is a very worthwhile book. It can change individual lives and
the life of our society. ' H. H. the Dalai Lama.
