Love might not be what we think it is. We all seek the happiness that comes from loving and being loved, yet we often find ourselves dissatisfied in our relationships and unable to grasp the cause. Thich Nhat Hanh here shows the way to overcome our recurrent obstacles to love - by learning to be mindful, open, and present with ourselves and others. As he explains, "training is needed in order to love properly; and to be able to give happiness and joy, you must practice deep looking directed toward the person you love."

Story
The Prajna Paramita Hridaya Sutra is among the best known of all the Buddhist scriptures. Chanted daily by many Zen students, it is also studied extensively in the Tibetan tradition, and it has been regarded with interest more recently in the West in various fields of study - from philosophy to quantum physics. In just 35 lines, it expresses the truth of impermanence and the release from suffering that results from the understanding of that truth with a breathtaking economy of language.

Peaceful
I had read the commentary of Heart Sutra by Thich Nhat Nanh before and it is one of the most useful teachings that I had ever encountered on the Heart Sutra. How I wish I can meet him in real life, but I know it is impossible.
Hence, when I chance upon this audio book, I am so happy! In light of emptiness or inter-being, I felt that I was in the same venue together with Thich Nhat Hanh and the other members of the audience when I listened to this recording.
He is able to use a very down to earth approach to explain a complicated topic such as the Heart Sutra. To my surprise, he is also a humorous person. I am really happy to be part of this journey and I hope that you will also embark on the journey to the other shore. Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha!
