Being Peace

I 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.

Write-Up Based On Books Being Peace (Being Peace)
"Learn to look at other beings with the eyes of compassion." Hanh's meditations (it's actually, according to the introduction, a series of talks he gave) include many such helpful ideas about how to integrate peace and awareness into one's life. Meditation, he reminds us, is not about withdrawing from the world but about bringing one's most reflective and present self into the world.The Buddhist monk method of dealing with interpersonal conflicts that he outlines in the chapter titled

I read this book years ago when I took a grad school class on Buddhist meditation practices. I liked it then. I liked it even more this time around, 15 years later. Thich Nhat Hanh is often quoted, because he's pithy and truly excellent as a teacher. However, in larger doses...he's even better. I'm coming to this book as a traditionally observant Jewish yeshivah/rabbinical student. I think, along with Thomas Merton and several other teachers from a variety of religions, that Thich Nhat Hanh's

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

A beautiful, easy to understand reminder of the road to peace and what we can do to get there. Would recommend to anyone.

Like most Thich Nhat Hanh books, this is a very sweet and very simple book. Good advice. Not complicated. Just clear and direct. Maybe too simple on a couple of points -- not sure. He seems to say that we won't change things by demonstrating. Not sure about that. But being peaceful, clearheaded and calm while planning and participating in a demonstration seems like a good idea.

Thich 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.

This is a quintessential 'good book' - in the sense that it has nothing that you can disapprove of, but again, nothing that you don't know already. Yeah, one must be good, the book says. But how, the book doesn't talk more about that. Yeah, you shouldn't get angry and value others' opinion as much as yours, the book says. But what if you are dealing with a certified moron and unarguably and irrefutably absurd opinions, the book err.. doesn't talk about that.At times, I felt like the author
