About the Author:
Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the most beloved masters of Zen in the world. He has brought his warmth and clarity to this unique exploration of Zen Buddhism in which he offers a clear explanation of the central elements of Zen practice and philosophy. The book includes helpful guidance on living a Zen life, using concepts like mindfulness, and also addresses contemporary issues such as the conflict between modern technology and spirituality.
Originally published in 1974 and now completely revised, 'Zen Keys' brings to life the abstract principles of the Zen tradition to meet the ever increasing demand for these ideas in the West. Thich Nhat Hanh shares the philosophy that has allowed him to be mindful of peace in every moment. The example he has set in his own life as a staunch advocate for peace illustrates how the idealistic goals of Buddhism can be brought powerfully into reality. The final section of the book contains a set of 43 koans from the thirteenth-century Vietnamese master Tran Thai Tong, beautifully translated for the first time in English.
Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Zen Master, a poet and a spokesman for the Vietnamese Buddhist peace movement. In 1967 he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King, Jr. He is the author of several books, including 'Peace is Every Step, The Miracle of Mindfulness' and 'Being Peace'.
Ordained as a Buddhist Monk in 1942, Thich Nhat Hanh worked tirelessly for peace throughout the Vietnam war and was nominated by Dr Martin Luther King Jr for the Nobel Peace Prize. He is now a world-renowned Buddhist teacher and writer and the author of 35 books. In France, he has established Plum Village, a meditation community where Western and Vietnamese people live together in harmony. When not working there, he travels worldwide, helping refugees and teaching ‘the art of mindful living’.
