Be Free Where You Are

by Thich Nhat Hanh, Chan Khong (Foreword by)

Overview

POCKET-SIZED INSPIRATION: This collection of Thich Nhat Hanh’s timeless wisdom reminds us that we can find peace and freedom, even in difficult times.

Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves.

Based on a talk given to prison inmates facing death row, this compendium of Thich Nhat Nah’s core teachings shows how mindfulness practice can cultivate freedom no matter where you are.
 
Presented in a handy pocket-sized package for easy reference, Be Free Where You Are will help you embrace your best self, even in the worst of circumstances—and offers comfort to anyone feeling ‘stuck’ or isolated.

About the Author

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 sixteen. Over seven decades of teaching, he published more than 100 books, which have sold more than four 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.
