Known and loved worldwide for his teachings on mindfulness and compassion, Thich Nhat Hanh was once nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr. On Peacemaking, this beloved Zen master returns to the theme that first brought him to the world’s attention: peace, and how to embody it. Looking deeply into the roots of anger, Thich Nhat Hanh emerges with real solutions to the violence we commit against ourselves and each other. Thich Nhat Hanh uses the philosophy of non-dualism to show that we are not separate, but one with our feelings and the world. He teaches that the awareness of anger – not its suppression – is key to its control. From the keys to transforming anger through meditation to putting kindness into action to heal the wounds between nations, here is Thich Nhat Hanh’s personal testament to the spiritual and practical power of nonviolence, with Peacemaking.
