The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching - Thich Nhat Hanh

274 pages, paperback

They say: In The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching, Thich Nhat Hanh brings his gift of clear and poetic expression to an explanation of the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path and other core Buddhist teachings. He makes these practices accessible to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike, showing us all how the very suffering that is holding us down can be the path to our liberation. He reveals how the heart of the Buddha lies within each of us, and entering it means to be present for our suffering, our joys and ourselves. To enter the heart of the Buddha means to touch the world of no-birth and no-death, the world where water and wave are one.

'Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man, for he is humble and devout. He is a scholar of immense intellectual capacity' - Martin Luther King, in nominating Thich Nhat Hanh for the Nobel Peace Prize.
