Thich Nhat Hanh - Being Peace (Classic Dharma Talks)
1 cd
Running time: 1 hour 15 minutes

This recording offers the rare opportunity to listen to Thich Nhat Hanh deliver the teachings that inspired the creation of his best-selling and perhaps most well-known book Being Peace, considered a classic of contemporary religious literature. An assembly of 700 people gathered at Green Gulch Farm in Muir Beach, California, on November 3, 1985 to listen to the wisdom and guidance of this world-renowned Vietnamese Buddhist monk. In this talk, Thich Nhat Hanh shows how our state of mind and body can make the world a peaceful place, and teaches us how to transform the very situations that pressure and antagonize us into opportunities for practicing mindfulness.

Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, scholar, poet, and peace activist. During the war in Vietnam, he worked tirelessly for reconciliation between North and South Vietnam. His lifelong efforts to generate peace moved Martin Luther King Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. He lives in a small community in France where he teaches, writes, gardens, and works to help refugees worldwide. Thich Nhat Hanh has conducted many mindfulness retreats in Europe and North America helping veterans, children, environmentalists, psychotherapists, artists and many thousands of individuals seeking peace in their hearts, and in their world.
