Keeping the Peace
by Thich Nhat Hanh (9781888375480)

In Keeping the Peace, Thich Nhat Hanh expands the traditional thinking about the work of law enforcement. With compassionate insight, he speaks directly to the need of civil servants to cultivate their own inner peace in order to help others. In clear and simple prose, he speaks to all of us who work in difficult, people-orientated jobs and shows us how to transform anger, stress, and frustration.

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."
