Peaceful action

open heart lessons from the Lotus Sutra

  • 5 Want to read

This is Thich Nhat Hanh's interpretation of the Lotus Sutra, attributed by many as the last of the Buddha's teachings. If you open this book and the book entitled "The Lotus Sutra - Interpretation and Introduction" by Gene Reeves, everything matches perfectly. You can see that Thich Nhat Hanh, who started out as a Zen Buddhist monk at a monastery in Vietnam at 16 years old (He is 94 at the writing of this review.) has a vast knowledge of all the sutras. Hanh was instrumental in getting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to get involved with the Anti-Vietnam War Movement and was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. King. Thich Nhat Hanh has written many books and is my favorite author on Buddhism. He simplifies everything. Many authors try to complicate the learning of meditation and Buddhist principles in order to turn a profit but Hanh seems only interested in spreading the message.
If you need to learn what is in the Lotus Sutra, what it means, and learn it all simply and quickly (It is a complicated teaching.), then, I suggest using this book.
