Product Description

For many people, one key question prevents them from taking the next step in their personal development, the development of their spiritual practice, or their journey toward self-knowledge. Answers from the Heart collects 50 of these important and heartfelt questions posed to Thich Nhat Hanh by his students and participants in his retreats, along with his often surprising answers. The exchanges are divided into six thematic sections — Daily Life, Living and Dying, Engaged Buddhism, Mindfulness Practice, Family and Relationships, and Children's Questions — and combine practical, immediately applicable suggestions with ideas for further study and contemplation. The questions are from all ages and interest groups and provide a lively glimpse into the connection between students and their teacher. Hanh's answers condense 2,500 years of Buddhist wisdom into individual answers that shine with clarity and that summarize his own remarkable insight based on a lifetime of practice.

    Hanh once again takes complex ideas and makes them understandable, reachable, and useful.(Aside from the wisdom, his books are a model of clear thinking and thus clear writing.) The Q and A format is an especially useful teaching tool and I suggest ,if a reader is unfamilar with his work, to start with this book.It lays the foundations.I found the parts on dealing with the future("the present moment contains both past and future. The only material the future is made of is the present. Handling the present moment with all your attention...is already building a future."),as well as his comments on how to integrate the Buddha's teaching into our work lives, to be especially useful and inspiring.

    Thich Nhat Hanh answers many of Life's basic questions in a simple, straighforward, and direct way. He has an amazing ability to help us understand the world in which we live in a way we can all understand.

    Excellent book!

    Thich Nhat Hanh answers common questions with common sense using common language. His responses are insightfulness, reassuring and heart warming.
