Present Moment, Wonderful Moment Mindfulness Verses for Daily Living

Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Zen master, poet, and peace activist, has been a monk for nearly 50 years. In Vietnam, he founded the School of Youth for Social Service ("the little peace corps"), an instrument for rebuilding villages that were destroyed by bombs and for resettling tens of thousands of people fleeing the war zones. He also founded Van Hanh Buddhist University, La Boi Press, and the Tiep Hien Order of Interbeing. In 1966, he came to the U.S. and Europe at the invitation of the Fellowship of Reconciliation to "represent the wishes of the Vietnamese people of all faiths who had no means to speak for themselves" (New Yorker, June 25, 1966). He was nominated by Martin Luther King, Jr. for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. Unable to return to Vietnam after his overseas tour, he received asylum in France, where he served as chairman of the Vietnamese Buddhist Peace Delegation to the Paris Peace Talks. He lives in Plum Village, a small community in France, where he continues teaching, writing, gardening, and helping refugees worldwide.Hanh, Thich Nhat is the author of 'Present Moment, Wonderful Moment Mindfulness Verses for Daily Living' with ISBN 9780938077213 and ISBN 093807721X.
