Even while you have pain in your heart, you can enjoy the many wonders of life—the beautiful sunset, the smile of a child, the many flowers and trees. To suffer is not enough. Please don't be imprisoned by your suffering. With his gift for clear and poetic expression, Thich Nhat Hanh explains the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, and other basic Buddhist teachings. Hanh's extraordinary contribution to Buddhism and to life is the way he makes these teachings and practices accessible to everyone, and here he shows how the very suffering that is holding us down can be the path to our liberation.
