Commentary Concering Books Being Peace (Being Peace)
Being PeaceI 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.

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 moreThich 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.
Over the years I have read many spiritual books that are all very similar and generally manage to annoy me by telling me that if I were truly advanced in understanding and in meditation practices I should be detached enough and wise enough not to mourn for the loss of those I love. Yet elsewhere I have read psychologists warning that one of the dangers of meditation is the risk of depersonalization. A state of flattened emotions where you are no longer able to empathize with others. So what to
I've spent the last 3 days listening to the audio version of this book and felt peaceful and calm ever since. Some of my most favourite quotes from the book:For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them. Do not say that I'll depart tomorrow because even today I still arrive. We have to be in the present time, because only the present is real, only in the present can we be alive. We do not practice for the sake of the future, to be reborn in a
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.

Simply put, "let peace begin with me" and "let me begin with peace." I always find Thitch Nhat Hanh's writings to be simple, inspiring and refreshing. His messages are so powerful that they stay with me, and I find myself coming back to them or realizing them in my daily life. While he often references Buddhist teachings, his writings are about life, about love, about understanding. The teachings and stories transcend Buddhism and offer simple ways that everyone in the world can find peace in
