Based on the story of the Zen student asking his teacher for his most advanced teaching, Thich Nhat Hanh shares his own experiences with sadness, anger, loss, injustice and how to transform them, using examples and humorous stories. This classic talk from a 1989 retreat offers concrete practices and teachings which later become the books Transformation and Healing, Anger, and Interbeing.
