Yes I have enjoyed reading this book. It has been many years since studying Buddhism and this book lent a new attitude about this philosophy. I will read more Thich Nhat Hanh in the future.

Thich Nhat Hanh has a very unassuming demeanor when it comes to talking about big issues. His presentation of Buddhist ideals and Christian philosophy in a comparative fashion is both innovative, ingenious, and so very necessary in today's world. I think anyone who feels that open minds and hearts can begin to heal the derisive mentalities that drive our peoples apart.

When describing Christ, Hanh is generous, even-toned, and open. When describing the Buddha, he is magnanimous, fair, and never would you glean from this book that Hanh was a Buddhist monk. Read this before you formulate an opinion about other religions. This sparkling little book presents new fodder for a new dialogue about where we go next and how interdependence can indeed exist as a tenet of Christianity as well as Buddhism.

This is a fantastic book that I cannot do without, as it is with many of TNH's more prolific works. What a wonderful understanding of the inter-connectedness of all faiths and how we can all derive great benefit for life through the prophets. A MUST for a healthy spiritual life.
