Summary

With poetry and clarity, Thich Nhat Hanh imparts comforting wisdom about the nature of suffering and its role in creating compassion, love, and joy – all qualities of enlightenment.

“Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the connection between personal, inner peace, and peace on earth.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama

In The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching, now revised with added material and new insights, Nhat Hanh introduces us to the core teachings of Buddhism and shows us that the Buddha’s teachings are accessible and applicable to our daily lives.

Covering such significant teachings as the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Three Doors of Liberation, the Three Dharma Seals, and the Seven Factors of Awakening, The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching is a radiant beacon on Buddhist thought for the initiated and uninitiated alike.

A wonderfully written book full of insight. I do feel, however, that one has to be at the right point in their life to properly appreciate and absorb the teachings.

Simply wonderful

Very in-depth overview of core Buddhist teachings. If you are looking for a general introduction however I would not necessarily start with this as it is quite dense and specific. For those wishing to learn a bit more however, this is a perfect reference.

Excellent overview

Excellent description of Gautama Buddhas teaching without the religious layers added. Very interesting guide to a new philosophy for me and how it can be learned and practiced in everyday life. This has really helped through this pandemic. The metaphors and short stories really help guide your understanding and draw your focus on the persuit of happiness

Not a religion person

The depth of knowledge contained in this book is vast. I've listened to it 3 times and each listen through I get something new out of it. I can see myself listening to this 10 times!

For those looking for straight Dhamma without the "content" of the speaker's neurotic and rambling stories this is highly recommended.

So much value
