"Creating True Peace" is both a profound work of spiritual guidance
and a practical blueprint for peaceful inner change and global
change. It is the Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh's answer to our
deep-rooted crisis of violence and our feelings of helplessness,
victimization, and fear. As a world-renowned writer, scholar,
spiritual leader, and Zen Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh is one of
the most visible, revered activists for peace and Engaged Buddhism
-- the practice he created that combines mindful living and social
action. Having lived through two wars in his native Vietnam, he
works to prevent conflict of all kinds -- from the internal
violence of individual thoughts to interpersonal and international
aggression.
Now, in this new book, perhaps his most important work to date,
Thich Nhat Hanh uses a beautiful blend of visionary insight,
inspiring stories of peacemaking, and a combination of meditation
practices and instruction to show us how to take Right Action. A
book for people of all faiths, it is a magnum opus -- a compendium
of peace practices that can help anyone practice nonviolent thought
and behavior, even in the midst of world upheaval.
More than any of his previous books, "Creating True Peace" tells
stories of Thich Nhat Hanh and his students practicing peace during
wartime. These demonstrate that violence is an outmoded response we
can no longer afford. The simple, but powerful daily actions and
everyday interactions that Thich Nhat Hanh recommends can root out
violence where it lives in our hearts and minds and help us
discover the power to create peace at every level of life --
personal, family, neighborhood, community, state, nation, and
world.
Whether dealing with extreme emotions and challenging
situations or managing interpersonal and international conflicts,
Thich Nhat Hanh relies on the 2,600-year-old traditional wisdom and
scholarship of the Buddha, as well as other great scriptures. He
teaches us to look more deeply into our thoughts and lives so that
we can know what to do and what not to do to transform them into
something better. With a combination of courage, sweetness, and
candor, he tells us that we can make a difference; we are not
helpless; we can create peace here and now. "Creating True Peace"
shows us how.
