Inside the Now

<b>Never-before-published commentaries and personal reflections of the great Zen master on living in stillness and timelessness</b><br><br> Thich Nhat Hanh shares the essence of his lifetime of spiritual seeking in this intimate and poetic work, inspired by the classic text <i>Being Time</i> by thirteenth-century Japanese Master Dogen. <i>Inside the Now</i> begins with an autobiographical reflection in which we hear the voice of the young monk, poet, and community-builder struggling in war-torn Vietnam to develop a Buddhism relevant to the suffering of his time. These early experiences lay the groundwork for Thich Nhat Hanh’s insights into the nature of time and interbeing.<br><br> In part two, we hear the clear, direct voice of the Zen master challenging us to open our hearts, seize the moment, and touch the now. A beautifully designed and personal book that will be cherished for generations, <i>Inside the Now</i> is interspersed with poetry from other Zen masters as well as the author’s own verse and calligraphy.
