Being Peace

Being Peace, a beloved spiritual classic and one of Thich Nhat Hanh’s earliest works, is a gentle yet powerful introduction to his core teachings. Originally written for peace activists and a reflection on the peace movement of the time, it has since become an indispensable guide for anyone concerned with the state of the world and the quality of our inner lives. With clarity, warmth, and profound simplicity, Thich Nhat Hanh reveals the deep connection between cultivating peace within ourselves and fostering peace in the world around us. His message, ‘being peace in order to make more peace’, resonates now more than ever, offering a steadying presence in turbulent times. Translated into more than thirty languages and with over half a million copies sold, the book provides suggestions for how to create a more peaceful world ‘right in the moment we are alive’.
