The concepts can be difficult but Thầy offers excellent guidance and explanation to help you understand. He was proud that he practiced more than the other monks, believing that by sitting all day, he’d become a Buddha.

I don’t personally find it difficult to read because my mind tends to wander a lot anyway and I found it actually helped me take things in, but some people my find it a little tricky to deal with. With poetry and clarity, Nhat Hanh imparts comforting wisdom about the nature of suffering and its role in creating compassion, love, and joy--all qualities of enlightenment. It asks you to examine your perceptions constantly; after all, how you perceive things influences what you believe is true.Thich Nhat Hanh is an amazing man and I do recommend reading his work, and this book is no exception.

The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh is a guide to understand the core teachings of Buddhism. In The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching, Thich Nhat Hanh brings his gift of clear and poetic expression to an explanation of the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, and other basic Buddhist teachings.

I really strongly felt motivated to make improvements in my life and to follow the teachings of the Buddha more closely.
