The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh

Authors: Thích Nhất Hạnh

Published: September 11, 2012

A pocket-sized treasury of writings and teachings from the beloved Zen teacher Thích Nhất Hạnh.

Since Thích Nhất Hạnh’s exile from his native Vietnam in 1966, the Zen Buddhist monk has gone on to become one of the most influential and beloved spiritual masters of our age.

The seeming simplicity of his words belies the power of his ability to touch the heart and mind, and to inspire spiritual practice.

Known for his warm, generous, and joyful teaching style, Thích Nhất Hạnh has made his wisdom remarkably accessible and resonant to readers across the globe.

Now, that wisdom has been compiled into one pocket-sized collection featuring his most powerful and inspiring teachings.

Taken from his many published works, the selections in The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh make up a concise introduction to the Thích Nhất Hạnh’s major themes—such as mindfulness, enlightenment, and compassion—and distill his teachings on the transformation of individuals, relationships, and society.
