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.
