A Lifetime of Peace

A Lifetime of Peace follows the successful model established by A Lifetime of Wisdom: Essential Writings by and about the Dalai Lama.

It draws on dozens of sources to collect the very best writing by and about Thích Nhất Hạnh, the revered Vietnamese Buddhist monk and peace activist.

This timely collection is both a political and spiritual handbook which encompasses all of Thích Nhất Hạnh’s major themes—mindfulness, love, truth, compassion, and peace on earth.

In 1967 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. nominated Thích Nhất Hạnh for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing the monk’s lifelong efforts to encourage peace and reconciliation around the world.

This important collection will not only present Thích Nhất Hạnh’s writing about his experiences during the Vietnam War and excerpts from his journals, but also collect a range of other highlights, such as his advice for those entering into meditation practice and his unique insights into Buddhist and Christian theology.

But above all, A Lifetime of Peace is a timely and thought-provoking examination of the nature of peace—both as an inner state of being and as a real condition in the world.
