Critics Review
“Children have to deal with anger — their own and that of others. Thich Nhat Hanh gives them a practice called “A Pebble in Your Pocket.” He also shares ideas on walking meditation, stopping and breathing, eating an orange, tree-hugging, touching the earth, and arranging flowers.”
—Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
About The Author
Thich Nhat Hanh
Thich Nhat Hanh was a world-renowned spiritual teacher and peace activist. Born in Vietnam in 1926, he became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of 16. Over 7 decades of teaching, he published more than 100 books, which have sold more than 4 million copies in the United States alone.
Exiled from Vietnam in 1966 for promoting peace, his teachings on Buddhism as a path to social and political transformation are responsible for bringing the mindfulness movement to Western culture.
He established the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism in France, now the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe and the heart of a growing community of mindfulness practice centers around the world. He passed away in 2022 at the age of 95 at his root temple, Tu Hieu, in Hue, Vietnam.
