Lessons on love and Dharma, with commentaries on 3 essential sutras of Mahayana Buddhism-from the celebrated monk who introduced mindfulness to the Western world

""Just might be my favorite book of

Thich Nhat Hanh ."" -Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones

In Cultivating the Mind of Love, Thich Nhat Hanh gives a most unusual Dharma teaching- the story of his first love. He pairs these personal memories with his insightful commentaries on classic Buddhist teachings, including the Diamond Lotus, Avatamsaka, and Vimalakirti Sutras.

In combining personal experience and Dharma teachings, Nhat Hanh allows his readers to experience and to appreciate what is human and wonderful in all of us. He shows us how to cultivate our own ""mind of love""-and how to bring joy and hope to ourselves and those around us.

Thich Nhat Hanh was a world-renowned spiritual teacher and peace activist. Born in Vietnam in 1926, he became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. Over seven decades of teaching, he published more than 100 books, which have sold more than four million copies in the United States alone. Exiled from Vietnam in 1966 for promoting peace, his teachings on Buddhism as a path to social and political transformation are responsible for bringing the mindfulness movement to Western culture. He established the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism in France, now the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe and the heart of a growing community of mindfulness practice centers around the world. He passed away in 2022 at the age of 95 at his root temple, Tu Hieu, in Hue, Vietnam.

Reviews for Cultivating the Mind of Love

Reviews for the previous edition Thich Nhat Hanh skillfully penetrates, like a diamond needle, to the very marrow of his subject. In its suitably quiet way, this book is a masterpiece. &#8212 New Asia review Thich Nhat Hanh's narrative and meditation on love and compassion is so skillfully presented that before one knows it, the gap between master and student, between Asian and American, and between East and West has seamlessly melted away. &#8212 Parabola Thich Nhat Hanh's most personally revealing work. &#8212 Turning Wheel I am continually amazed at how Thich Nhat Hanh is able to translate the Buddhist tradition into everyday life and make it relevant and helpful for so many people. Cultivating the Mind of Love just might be my favorite book of his . &#8212From the Foreword by Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones
