Published: November 13, 2012
Fans of Thích Nhất Hạnh’s Peace is Every Step and Anger, and Deepak Chopra’s Buddha, will appreciate Thích Nhất Hạnh’s wisdom and storytelling in his novel The Novice, which contains universal themes that transcend all boundaries of faith, creed, country, and era.
Through the parable of a young woman who stays true to herself and her faith in the face of adversity, Vietnamese Zen Buddhist master and peace activist Thích Nhất Hạnh enables readers to embark on their own path of introspection and self-discovery.
With his trademark insight, Thích Nhất Hạnh presents a path to greater awareness of the means to manifest peace both inside oneself and in the world at large.
