Explanation As Books Being Peace (Being Peace)
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. written by Jessica Slade, 2017Rating Out Of Books Being Peace (Being Peace)

I didnt find this book to be as easy-to-read as Peace is every step, which I previously reviewed. I feel that it goes more deeply into things and thus is more challenging.Thich Nhat Hanh is a Buddhist from Vietnam who now lives in exile in France. He recently had a stroke at the age of about 90 and was seriously ill, but survived.This book is a collection of talks he gave to peacemakers and meditation students in 1985.He tells us of the importance of walking meditation and smiling, and offers aEven though some references are a little dated (Cold War), this book is entirely relevant now: in order to achieve peace, we each have to become peaceful. We can't wait for peace to happen, we must live it.

Beautiful poem that has greatly impacted my own life: "Please Call Me By My True Names"Do not say that I'll depart tomorrow because even today I still arrive.Look deeply: I arrive in every second to be a bud on a spring branch, to be a tiny bird, with wings still fragile, learning to sing in my new nest, to be a caterpillar in the heart of a flower, to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone.I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry, in order to fear and to hope. The rhythm of my heart is the
This book, recommended by my then therapist, skewed my vision for the better. Instead of seeing black & white, I started seeing and understanding all the shades of grey. The Middle Way. A little hokey, but whatever, it works if you want it to.
This book was recommended by a 'fellow photographer' friend named Beth Lambert of CANADA. It's an EXCELLENT read for any one. I also introduced it to a young man in France (who was still 'finding himself'--Frederic Deltour) and he often tells me that the book changed/improved his LIFE.This is the perfect book for MINDFULNESS TRAINING--something we ALL need from time to time. ;)Words that impacted me in this book:If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can blossom like a flower, and everyone in
Not as much of a favorite as Mindfulness in Plain English or Full Catastrophe Living, but still very good (and no doubt this is the direction those other books would take if they hadn't been so Westernized). This book is more what I would describe as an introduction to radical Buddhism. I agree with a lot of what Hanh says in terms of making mindfulness and loving compassion part of a daily practice that's not confined to a meditation space, and also what he says about the interconnectedness of
