In Thundering Silence, Thich Nhat Hanh presents the early teachings of the Buddha on how to see reality clearly without becoming caught by notions and ideologies, however noble. These teachings can liberate us from the prisons of our mental constructions and allow us to enjoy life fully and be a resource for others. The attitude of playfulness, openness, and non-attachment from views by the Buddha in this sutra is an important door for us to enter the realm of Buddhist thought and practice.
