Wisdom For Cooling The Flames
BY THICH NHAT HANH "Some of Hanh's suggestions cut refreshingly against the grain. He dissents, for example, from the popular therapeutic wisdom to 'express our anger:' when we beat a pillow to get rid of our feelings, he insists we are merely 'rehearsing' our anger, not 'reducing' it. Hanh reminds us that anger begins and ends with ourselves: we may feel that we are mad at our wife or son, but really we are the direct objects of our rage. An expansive vision that lifts this book out of the self-absorbed self-help pile." -Publishers Weekly

Paperback
BY THICH NHAT HANH Power is one of the central issues in our lives. From work to personal relationships, the struggle for power plays a pivotal role and more often than not prevents us from attaining freedom and happiness. The bottom-line mentality in our culture seeps unnoticed into every other part of our lives. Thich Nhat Hanh illustrates how our current understanding of power leads us on a never ending search for external markers like job title or salary. This me-first approach to life may have originated in the business world, but the stress, fear, and anxiety it causes are being felt by all of us everyday. Hanh teaches us that true power comes from within and that what we seek we already have.

Classic Dharma Talks
BY THICH NHAT HANH Thich Nhat Hanh delivered the words on this compact disk to an assembly of 700 gathered at Green Gulch Zen Center in Muir Beach, California, on November 3, 1985, and inspired the creation of the best selling book, "Being Peace." The teachings contained here provide a crucial antidote to our busy lives, and because of Hanh's experience with the war and his willingness to face the realities of our time, these teachings are also about suffering, reconciliation, and peace.

Ending Violence In Yourself, Your Family, Your Community And The World
BY THICH NHAT HANH "This newest [book by Naht Hanh] is filled with meditations and practices for individuals and families; since relatively few people choose monasticism as a lifestyle, the practice of household peace through deep listening and loving speech is eminently useable. Moreover, as Nhat Hanh shows in his stories and examples of working with people in conflict, such techniques underlie peace in the political arena as well. Written in Nhat Hanh's characteristically soothing way, this is a practical and basic book of his profound and comprehensive teachings, especially for families with children." - Publishers Weekly

Jesus And Buddha As Brothers
BY THICH NHAT HANH In Going Home, Thich Nhat Hanh celebrates the life-affirming roots of two disparate spiritual traditions. As he says, "Redemption and resurrection are neither words nor objects of belief. They are our daily practice. We practice in such a way that Buddha is born every moment of our daily life, that Jesus Christ is born every moment of our daily life."

Mindfulness Meditation And Centering For Friends Php 407
BY VALERIE BROWN Quakers are advised to begin worship by "centering down." This is the first step in a Friend's intention to wait in "holy expectancy." Centering prayer is also a practice used by Christian mystics to prepare for contemplation, and "centering" describes the meditation of a Buddhist in pursuit of that deep awareness called "mindfulness." Valerie Brown is an explorer and teacher of centering practices, a Buddhist, and an active Friend. Drawing upon her own experiences and wide studies, she describes for Friends how these various traditions can offer us a better understanding and preparedness for our practice of centering into worship. Discussion questions included.
