QLBC: How to Achieve Peace in the Midst of a Busy World, Thich Nhat Hanh

How do we find peace in our hectic lives with so much going on in the world? That's why we are reading and discussing "Being Peace", by Vietnamese Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, in the Quantum Leap Book Club. He says our experience depends on our focus. What do we choose to see in our day, a hectic life full of suffering, or wondrous miracles and beauty? Sometimes called 'The Other Dalai Lama', Thich Nhat Hanh lives 'engaged Buddhism'. Active in the peace movement, he promotes non-violent solutions to conflict. He says a smile is the most basic of peace work, suggesting to be happy now, in this moment, and not put it off to the future. Thich Nhat Hanh encourages us to be mindful of our thoughts and emotions at all times, in every circumstance we find ourselves in. This is how he lives peace in every moment, “Calming, Smiling. Present moment, Wonderful moment."
