“A warm, accessible introduction to the life and teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, written with the insight of a close friend and fellow peace activist.” — Publishers Weekly

"Those who are without compassion cannot see what is seen with the eyes of compassion." --Thich Nhat Hanh

Today, Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the world's most influential and revered spiritual teachers. When Jim Forest met him in the mid-1960s, he was a little-known Vietnamese Zen monk, touring the United States on behalf of the cause of peace in his homeland. Jim, a Catholic peacemaker, was asked to accompany him on his travels and speaking engagements. From that beginning emerged a friendship over many decades, in which Jim learned through conversations and daily life about Nhat Hanh's spiritual teachings on "mindfulness," "interbeing," and the inner peace that is necessary for promoting world peace.

Jim Forest's intimate portrait, which includes photos and other illustrations, is a unique introduction to the life and teachings of a modern spiritual master.
