"Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the connection between personal inner peace and peace on earth."

His Holiness the Dalai Lama "Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man, for he is humble and devout. He is a scholar of immense intellectual capacity. His ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity."

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Thich Nhat Hanh's work, on and off the page, has proven to be the antidote to our modern pain and sorrows. Here is a monumental, life-giving mind, preserved as textual force. And that's what I feel reading and practicing his teachings: that I am being acted on by a compassion equal to and pervasive as gravity itself. His books help me be more human, more me than I was before."

San Francisco Chronicle "Thich Nhat Hanh is a great teacher. I have studied him, his work, his passage through life, with gratitude and joy. Through his writings, his public offerings, his insights, I've gained vision and clarity; I've often felt it would be impossible to find a more lucid, determined, and courageous soul."
