Thich Nhat Hanh is the author of Being Peace, The Miracle of Mindfulness, Living Buddha, Living Christ, and many other books. This video was filmed before a live audience of 3500 in Berkeley, California, and was produced by Gaetano Kazuo Maida.
Thich Nhat Hanh believes that the practice of mindfulness is the passport to arriving in each moment and making the most of it. He talks about the seeds of consciousness which can include not only peace, joy, and happiness but also anger, hatred, and fear. He offers exercises that can help cultivate the jewels within us — one involving the eyes and another involving the heart.
Always emphasizing the positive, Thich Nhat Hanh suggests ways we can take good care of our anger by embracing it. He presents vows which couples can use to nurture mutual love, kindness, and support. He sees the sangha as "a community of practice" that can offer resources to "hungry ghosts," sons and daughters cut off from their families and those who persist in seeing others as their cause of suffering. Touching Peace: An Evening with Thich Nhat Hanh is a soul-stirring spiritual experience.
