| My wife thought "Thich Nhat Hanh" was an entree, because his book
| "How to Eat" looks like it says, "How to Eat Thich Nhat Hanh".
|
| It's a good, practical little book. We've been reading a passage
| per night to our kids before supper.

| Ah, the popular sequel to "How to Serve Thich Nhat Hanh".

|
| "You Are Here" is a great introduction to his books.

| Wow. I used to go to the mindfulness retreats at his affiliated

| and nature. It was really peaceful, and so different from what I
| had expected (something like a cult, being plied for donations
| etc. there was none of that). I stopped going when I left
| California, but it's hard to feel much more free than that these
| days. You're on a schedule for sleep, meals and events, basically
| making no decisions, and without internet pulling your attention,
| you feel like your mind is coming back to yourself.

| This book really got me into Buddhist theory. I really like how
| the ends with direct translations of suttras you can by then
| actually read and understand quite well. Transmissions of 2500
| y/o teachings that stood the test of time, come within reach of
| someone not having any study in that direction.
|
| We lost a great teacher.
