Theo-Maniac Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I was reading through the "Christianity and Buddhism" thread in this section, and I noticed at least one person mention one of my favorite Buddhist authors, Thich Nhat Hanh, so I thought I'd start a thread just for discussing Hanh's works. Personally I'm working on collecting all his books, although I haven't read all the ones I've bought so far, kind of a "so many books, so little time" paradox.

irreverance Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I have Living Buddha, Living Christ. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I have several, love him. I'd be interested in re-reading one if anybody's interested in discussing. It's been a couple of years... I'm sure I would find new and striking truths and much peace. He's fabulous. Any particular book anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Just finished "Living Buddha Living Christ". It's from the library, but I'm going to buy a copy. I really like him. --des Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AletheiaRivers Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I looked at "Living Buddha, Living Christ" at B&N on Wednesday and am really wanting to read it. "Going Home: Jesus and Buddha as Brothers" and "Zen Keys", both by Hanh, I'm also interested in as well. I also looked at a couple of books by Jack Kornfield that I would like to own: "After the Ecstacy - the Laundry" and "A Path with Heart". Anybody read any of these?

Cynthia Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I've read Living Buddha, Living Christ which I highly recommend. Going Home - Jesus and Buddha as Brothers is good, but more of a collection of comparable quotes than a "book". I started A Path With Heart.... I'd forgotten 'til I read your post.... it must have wandered back to the bookshelf - I'll have to pull it back out. I remember liking it... go figure! I'm reading "Don't Lets Go to the Dogs Tonight" by Alexandra Fuller - about a childhood (not privledged) growing up in Africa during the civil wars, etc in the 70s. Really interesting!

Cynthia Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 OOPS! Just going through shelves... the book I thought of as Going Home is actual a book edited by Borg: Jesus and Buddha, parallel sayings. Sorry!!! :> Going Home is an awesome book! So is Hanh's book, "True Love". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AletheiaRivers Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Thanks Cynthia. It will be a while before I read them. I'm just starting "The Jesus I Never Knew" by Yancey. Then it's on to "What's So Amazing About Grace?" I'm also reading "God, a Guide for the Perplexed" by Keith Ward. I really love Hanh's stuff. I'd also like to read some books about Buddhism from P. Chodron as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystictrek Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 http://www.peacefulsteps.com/about.stm links to a journey by a young man guided by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh. I met Jack last fall as he walked through the Northeast. I was impressed by his commitment to simplicity and love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
