Getting to know oneself, becoming aware of your feelings about matters in your life, is vital to the experience of "Being Peace", says Thich Nhat Hanh.

Practicing Buddhism teaches us that happiness is available to all. We can choose to transform our feelings and begin to become alive in every moment.

Our feelings begin with our perceptions - of people, conditions, and experiences. In seeking peace, Thich Nhat Hanh shares how to gain understanding, abandon our preconceptions, and open our minds to let in the truth. With a shift in perceptions, our feelings can shift also. With this understanding, we can make a difference. We can ultimately choose the direction of events to be positive.
