Book description
'(Thich Nhat Hanh) shows us the connection between personal, inner
peace and peace on earth' His Holiness the Dalai Lama
'Thich Nhat Hanh writes with the voice of the Buddha' Sogyal Rinpoche
Thich Nhat Hanh says: 'Our biggest fear is that we will become
nothing when we die. If we think that we cease to exist when we die,
we have not looked very deeply at ourselves.'
With his usual blend of stories, exquisite analogies and guided
meditations, Thich Nhat Hanh takes the reader through the same
examination of death, fear and the nature of existence that Buddhist
monks and nuns have been performing in their meditations for 2500
years. The understanding of no death comes from exploding the myth of
how we think we exist. Knowing how we actually exist produces the
state of no fear. This is a new subject for Thich Nhat Hanh and many
people will turn to him for his help with fear and death, just as they
did for his help with anger.
Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese poet, bestselling author and peace
activist, has been a Buddhist monk for over 40 years. He was chairman of
the Vietnamese Buddhist Peace delegation during the Vietnam War and was
nominated by Dr Martin Luther King for the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1966 he
visited the US and Europe on a peace mission and was unable to return to
his native land. Today he heads Plum Village, a meditation community in
south-western France, where he teaches, writes, gardens and aids
refugees worldwide.
