Synopsis

''Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the connection between inner peace and peace on Earth.'' His Holiness the Dalai Lama.... What is the right way to live? How do I balance my work and my family? Why do I worry, even when everything is okay? How can I repair my relationship with my parents? In Answers from the Heart, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh offers his personal, heartfelt, and often surprising answers to fifty of the most pressing and common questions he has ever been asked. Each answer is a concise summary of Thich Nhat Hanh's own insight based on his lifetime of practice. The book is divided into six sections: Daily Life, Living and Dying, Engaged Buddhism, Mindfulness Practice, Family and Relationships, and Children's Questions. Together, the questions and answers provide a useful guide for dealing with concrete problems, an accessible way in to Buddhist teachings, and a lively glimpse into the connection between students and their teacher.
