Finding Our True Home
by Thich Nhat Hanh (9781888375343)

Finding Our True Home is an examination of the Amitabha Sutra, a central Sutra of the Pure Lane School of Buddhism. In Thich Nhat Hanh's interpretation it touches on the deepest concept of Buddhism - happiness cannot exist without suffering. But once we realise that the Buddha is within ourselves we will see that the Pure Land is here and now, not just in the future.

One of the best known and most respected Zen masters in the world today, poet, and peace and human rights activist, Thich Nhat Hanh has led an extraordinary life. Born in central Vietnam in 1926 he joined the monkshood at the age of sixteen. The Vietnam War confronted the monasteries with the question of whether to adhere to the contemplative life and remain meditating in the monasteries, or to help the villagers suffering under bombings and other devastation of the war. Nhat Hanh was one of those who chose to do both, helping to found the "engaged Buddhism" movement. His life has since been dedicated to the work of inner transformation for the benefit of individuals and society.

Thich Nhat Hanh continues to live in Plum Village in the meditation community he founded, where he teaches, writes, and gardens; and he leads retreats worldwide on "the art of mindful living."
