Synopsis
In Beginning Anew, Sister Chân Không shares a concrete, four-part process that can help anyone heal relationships. Thousands have been introduced to this practice at the retreats led worldwide by Thich Nhat Hanh. When we re upset with someone, we re often afraid to say anything. We tell ourselves, It s just a small matter; it s not important. But the accumulation of many small issues can cause relationships to break. Beginning Anew gives us a way to address problems when they re small. Sister Chân Không brings the practice to life by sharing stories of couples and families she has helped to reconcile. It s very hard to listen when we re angry. Our anger changes our perceptions. When we re angry, we feel we have a right to be angry, because things didn t happen in the way we wanted or expected them to. Anger is natural and is part of us. But remember that when we re angry, we may not be seeing things clearly. When we focus our attention on our breath, we calm our mind. When our mind is calm, we can see more clearly. Our mind is like the surface of a lake. When the lake is calm, it clearly reflects everything in the scene above. When the lake is agitated by a strong wind, we only see broken up pieces of colour. If there's a full moon, we ll just see scattered bits of gold here and there; we won t see the whole full moon. When we re angry, we only perceive one part of the reality. So it's better not to act right away, when our perception is not clear.

About the Author
Thich Nhat Hanh was a world-renowned spiritual teacher and peace activist. Born in Vietnam in 1926, he became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. Over seven decades of teaching, he published more than 100 books, which have sold more than four million copies in the United States alone. Exiled from Vietnam in 1966 for promoting peace, his teachings on Buddhism as a path to social and political transformation are responsible for bringing the mindfulness movement to Western culture. He established the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism in France, now the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe and the heart of a growing community of mindfulness practice centers around the world. He passed away in 2022 at the age of 95 at his root temple, Tu Hieu, in Hue, Vietnam.

We tell ourselves, "Oh, it's just a small matter; it's not important." But the accumulation of many small issues can create an explosive situation, and can even cause relationships to break. Beginning Anew gives us a way to address problems when they're small, so we can understand each other's words, actions, and intentions. Author Sister Ch n Kh ngguides readers through conscious breathing, loving speech, and compassionate listening, all designed to help us see people and situations more clearly and allow our perceptions to better reflect reality.
