Book SynopsisCamino Viejo, Nubes Blancas presenta la vida y las enseñanzas del Buda Gautama desde su sálida de palacio hasta su fallecimiento. La historia inspirada en un gran número de fuentes provenientes de los sutras en pali, en sánscrito y en chino, está recontada en el inimitable estilo del monje vietnamita Thich Nhat Hanh. Este libro describe la vida del Buda de una manera tranquila y sosegada a lo largo de sus ochenta años de vida. Los dos protagonistas ante cuyos ojos discurre el relato son Svasti, un joven pastor de búfalos y el mismo Buda."Me he abstenido de describir los numerosos milagros que se citan a menudo en los sutras para embellecer la vida del Buda. Él mismo aconsejó a sus discípulos que no perdieran tiempo ni energía en el logro y el empleo de los poderes sobrenaturales. No obstante, he incluído muchas de las dificultades que encontró durante su vida causadas por la sociedad civil y por sus propios discípulos. Si el Buda aparece en este libro como un hombre próximo a nosotros es, en parte, gracias al relato de tales dificultades".Thich Nhat Hanh es un monje budista vietnamita. Sus esfuerzos para generar paz y reconciliación motivaron a Martin Luther King, Jr., a nominarlo para el Premio Noble de la Paz en 1967. Es el fundador de la Van Hanh Buddhist University de Saigón, ha enseñado en la Columbia University y en la Sorbona.

Book SynopsisIn Thundering Silence Thich Nhat Hanh presents the early teachings of the Buddha on not becoming so attached to his teachings that we don’t see reality clearly anymore and become stuck in notions and ideologies, however noble they may be. These teachings can liberate us from the prisons of our mental constructions and allow us to enjoy life fully and be a resource for others. Near the end of his life, the Buddha declared, "during forty-five years, I have not said to encourage his disciplines not caught by words or ideas. Thich Nhat Hanh calls this "the roar of a great lion, the thundering silence of a Buddha". The attitude of openness, non-attachment from views, and playfulness offered by the Buddha in this sutra is an important door for us to enter the realm of Mahayana Buddhist thought and practice.In Thich Nhat Hanh''s commentaries he makes use of such classic Buddhist allegories, as The Raft is not the Shore, and The Finger Pointing at the Moon and demonstrate the practical applications of these teachings in everyday life.This revised edition contains new material based on Thich Nhat Hanh’s more recent teachings. The new material makes commentaries on the Sutra on Knowing the Better Way to Catch a Snake more accessible and broader in scope.

Book SynopsisHow do we learn to believe in ourselves and not just rely on our spiritual teachers? This question often directly posed to Thich Nhat Hanh as Who will be your successor? was answered in August of 2009 when over a thousand people came to Colorado to spend a week with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh only to find he was in the hospital and wouldn’t be able to lead the retreat. The result of this event is One Buddha Is Not Enough, a book on how to become your own teacher and create your own community where you might least expect it. One Buddha Is Not Enough offers fresh and original insight from emerging Buddhist teachers on topics such as how to handle grief, strengthen our relationships, deal with anger and other strong emotions, and find happiness in the present moment. Through letters, stories, poems, calligraphies, and photographs, Thich Nhat Hanh shares his unique insights on illness, health, and different healing modalities.Far-reaching in its implication and tremendously encouraging, One Buddha Is Not Enough is a true expression of American Buddhism: We all already contain all the insight and wisdom we need. We are surrounded by the people who can help us on our journey. Sometimes all it takes is a wake up call to remind us of what we are capable of.
