Peace Is Every Step
Meditation In Action: The Life and Work of Thich Nhat Hanh

A Film by Gaetano Kazuo Maida
Narrated by Academy Award®-winner Ben Kingsley

Author of many books (including the bestsellers Being Peace, Living Buddha/Living Christ, The Miracle of Mindfulness and Peace Is Every Step), Thich Nhat Hanh has had a profound impact on contemporary thinking and, importantly, social action. His efforts to achieve an early peaceful end to the American war in Vietnam earned him a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and a forty year exile from his homeland. His ongoing work teaching reconciliation and meditation with war veterans, widows, orphans, refugees, therapists, activists, and ecumenical groups has gained him a large and respectful following around the world.

Filmed on location in Plum Village, France; Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington, DC; and at retreats around the U.S.
Plus: rare archival footage from Vietnam detailing the work of his School of Youth for Social Service in the 1960s
Appearances by Peter Matthiessen, Maxine Hong Kingston, Stephen Batchelor, Joan Halifax and other writers and activists
With DVD bonus feature:
Touching Peace—An Evening With Thich Nhat Hanh
Introduced by Joanna Macy (90 minutes)

"When we walk like (we are rushing), we print anxiety and sorrow on the earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earth... Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet."

— Thich Nhat Hanh

[marushkafrance]

sometime someone who appears very cruel or ignorant may be promoting discord for propaganda purposes, so let them be ignored, wish them peace and pray they also wake up. Thich Nhat Hanh is clearly, at the very least, bodhisattva possessing great skill and great compassion; we are fortunate to have him teach by example. May all beings benefit!

@tim666661 what did you want him to do, fly in a jet and bomb the communist regime? he is a buddhist monk working for peace.

also, he didn't go to vietnam to help the communist regime in 2005-2007. he went to help the people and monks there. he doesn't control the propaganda the government puts out.
