Being Peace : Classic teachings from the world's most revered meditation master Paperback / softback

In this classic collection of lectures, Buddhist monk, scholar, poet and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh shows us that suffering is not enough; for in order to achieve peace, we must be peace.

Quite simply, if we are not happy, if we are not peaceful, we cannot share peace and happiness with others.

Therefore, Thich Nhat Hanh explains how, if we are to change the world, we must begin with ourselves and awaken the loving potential of our own Buddhist natures.

We must learn to smile at the wonders that surround us every day, for if we cannot smile, the world will not have peace.
