BACK COVER #
In his acclaimed national bestseller, Living Buddha, Living Christ, renowned thinker and scholar Thich Nhat Hanh explored the deep spiritual connections between Christianity and Buddhism. Be Still and Know uses selections from his groundbreaking work to create a handbook of meditations and reflections that reawaken our understanding of both religions -- and enrich our daily lives through personal contemplation. It is an inspiration to all who embrace its universal message of peace -- a profound and moving work that illuminates the world's greatest traditions of spiritual thought, written by a man who is considered by many to be a "living Buddha."

"When you are a truly happy Christian, you are also a Buddhist. And vice versa."
-- Thich Nhat Hanh

"He 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."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"[Thich Nhat Hanh] shows us the connection between personal, inner peace and peace on earth."
-- His Holiness the Dalai Lama
