Being Peace

This recording offers the rare opportunity to listen to Thich Nhat Hanh deliver the teachings that inspired the creation of his best-selling and perhaps most well-known book Being Peace, considered a classic of contemporary religious literature. An assembly of 700 people gathered at Green Gulch Farm in Muir Beach, California, on November 3, 1985 to listen to the wisdom and guidance of this world-renowned Vietnamese Buddhist monk. In this talk, Thich Nhat Hanh shows how our state of mind and body can make the world a peaceful place, and teaches us how to transform the very situations that pressure and antagonize us into opportunities for practicing mindfulness.
