Thich Nhat Hanh, poet, Zen master, and chairman of the Vietnamese Buddhist Peace delegation during the war, was nominated by Dr. Martin Luther King for the Nobel Peace Prize. He is author of Being Peace, Vietnam: Lotus in a Sea of Fire, The Heart of Understanding, and many other works. The Sun My Heart was written as the sequel to The Miracle of Mindfulness. In his simple, compassionate style, Nhat Hanh draws from Buddhist psychology, epistemology, and contemporary physics, and uses many anecdotes to accompany the reader on this journey from mindfulness to insight. Meditators since the beginning of time have known that they must use their own eyes and the language of their own times to express their insight. Wisdom is a living stream, not an icon to be preserved in a museum. ...This small book prefers to be a friend rather than a book. You can take it with you on the bus or subway as you do your coat or your scarf, It can give you small moments of joy at any time." -- From the introduction
