Description

Thich Nhat Hanh's personal journal entries offer a unique glimpse into his thoughts and experiences as he navigated the challenges of establishing Buddhism in Vietnam. Written between 1964 and 1966, these reflections reveal a vulnerable and questioning individual grappling with the difficulties faced by himself and his fellow monks.

As Thich Nhat Hanh reflects on his efforts to make Buddhism relevant to the people's needs, he shares insights into the development of 'engaged Buddhism', a movement that aimed to bring spiritual practice to everyday life. This collection of journal entries provides a rare opportunity for readers to understand the mind of a great thinker and activist.

Through these pages, Thich Nhat Hanh invites readers to explore how to live fully, with awareness, during times of challenge and upheaval. Fragrant Palm Leaves is a thought-provoking and deeply personal work that offers a unique perspective on spirituality, activism, and the human experience.
