Such a peaceful book. I was transported to my happy place everytime I picked it up. I liked the "Your True Home," "Your True Name," "Colors of Compassion" and "Mindfulness Training" sections the best.
Up until the end, with talks about becoming a Buddha, it was actually really engaging me and interesting me in Buddhism. I've read factual and scholarly books on Buddhism and could never really give the faith a fair try. This view of Buddhism really goes with my inner feelings. Especially the sectio...more

A tremendously fine volume originating from Plum Village people of color retreats, the work shares voices from those retreats and invites readers into mindfully undoing racism and its effects in our lives in order to live fully and compassionately.
I love just about everything written by Thich Nhat Hanh, and this is no exception.
My favorite passage:
"Every moment of your daily life can be a moment of celebrating life; it depends on you. You have the talent to organize things so that life becomes a festival."
I hope those words stay with me for a long, long time.

Pretty standard stuff from Thich Nhat Hanh. Nothing new here, except some commentary from attendees at his retreat. Those just rendered the book too hippie for me.
