He'll go on and on with stories about tree-hugging or metaphors involving raw potatoes; he'll tell you how to eat mindfully, even how to breathe and walk; he'll suggest looking closely at a flower and to see the sun as your heart. As the Zen teacher Richard Baker commented, however, Nhat Hanh is "a cross between a cloud, a snail, and piece of heavy machinery." Sooner or later, it begins to sink in that Nhat Hanh is conveying a depth of psychology and a world outlook that require nothing less than a complete paradigm shift. Through his cute stories and compassionate admonitions, he gradually builds up to his philosophy of interbeing, the notion that none of us <I>is</I> separately, but rather that we <I>inter-are</I>. The ramifications are explosive. How can we mindlessly and selfishly pursue our individual ends, when we are inextricably bound up with everyone and everything else? We see an enemy not as focus of anger but as a human with a complex history, who could be us if we had the same history. Suffice it to say, that after reading <I>Peace Is Every Step</I>, you'll never look at a plastic bag the same way again, and you may even develop a penchant for hugging trees. <I>--Brian Bruya</I> 870836 1990 Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life total:1388|5:727|4:477|3:164|2:17|1:3| 1388 6072 2030 185 5 3 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed May 16 17:46:43 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 09 10:38:39 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 2 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Aug 01 02:24:59 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 02:27:44 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Feb 17 08:08:26 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 08:22:19 -0800 2009 Also I had ...more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1991 Sat Aug 09 05:57:20 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 02 06:55:26 -0700 2008 Old Path, White Clouds, his biography of the Buddha.
