Loved around the world for his simple, straightforward explanations of Buddhism, Thich Nhat Hanh has finally turned his hand to the very core of Buddhism and conundrums such as this. In the traditional way, Thich Nhat Hanh takes up the core teachings one by one--the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Twelve Links of Interdependent Co-Arising--but his approach is as fresh as a soft breeze through a plum orchard. For illustration, he dips into the vast stores of Buddhist literature right alongside contemporary anecdotes, pointing out subtleties that can get glossed over in other popular introductions. He also includes three short but key sutras, essential source teachings from which all Buddhism flows. Studying the basics of Buddhism under Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh is like learning basketball from Michael Jordan. <I>--Brian Bruya</I> 202839 1998 The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching total:531|5:246|4:197|3:80|2:8|1:0| 531 2274 864 67 5 0 false false Tue Aug 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 08 21:13:21 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 25 20:29:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Oct 22 08:02:14 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 22 08:02:46 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun Oct 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 07:25:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 13:18:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Feb 21 11:21:45 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 21 21:02:03 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Sep 22 23:01:54 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 23:10:32 -0700 2009
