Zen master Thick Nhat Hanh, best-selling author of Peace is Every Step and one of the most respected and celebrated religious leaders in the world, delivers a powerful path to happiness through mastering life's most important skill: How do we say what we mean in a way that the other person can really hear?

Story
Thich Nhat Hanh acknowledges that because suffering can feel so bad, we try to run away from it or cover it up by consuming. We find something to eat or turn on the television. But unless we’re able to face our suffering, we can’t be present and available to life, and happiness will continue to elude us. Nhat Hanh shares how the practices of stopping, mindful breathing, and deep concentration can generate the energy of mindfulness within our daily lives. With that energy, we can embrace pain and calm it down, instantly bringing a measure of freedom and a clearer mind.

"Our biggest fear," says poet and Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, "is that we will become nothing when we die. If we think that we cease to exist when we die, we have not looked very deeply at ourselves." It is possible to live every day without being afraid of what happens when we die. Through a close examination of who we are, how we exist, and how we live, we can conquer our fear to live a freer and happier life. Through stories and lucid teachings, Thich Naht Hanh brings peace of mind to a difficult subject, and shows is how to live a happier life, free of fear.

Publisher's Summary
Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk whose lifelong efforts to generate peace and reconciliation moved Martin Luther King, Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. Thay (pronounced Tie), as his followers call him, has written numerous books, travels extensively to offer teachings on the art of mindful living, and has been instrumental in introducing Buddhist concepts to the west. One of the best known and most respected Zen masters in the world today, Thich Nhat Hanh lives in southwest France, where he teaches, writes, and gardens. One of the latest releases is Peace Is Every Breath.
This set features the rare opportunity to listen to Thich Nhat Hanh deliver the teachings that inspired the creation of his most popular books. These talks include:
- Being Peace
- The Heart of Understanding
- Touching Peace
- Looking Deeply
- The Art of Flower Arranging
- Truly Seeing
- On Being Peace…
This eloquent meditation on "being peace in order to make peace" is more relevant than ever.

Spiritual Truth
I feel compelled to write a review so there is at least another written review in contrast to the one titled "Slow and aimless," even though I am not finished. It is slow, but it's certainly not aimless. Thich Nhat Hanh is very clear about helping to awaken people to their Buddha-nature. He's also not nearly as repetitive as the other reviewer states. Sure, a little repetition is used, but it's all for the purpose of obtaining enlightenment. My suggestion would be to try and meditate as Thich Nhat Hanh recommends, with a smile, as in the first lecture.

a collection of older dharma talks from Thay
Any content from Thich is great. The quality of the recordings don't bother me because it's about the messages within, not about the recording. However it's extremely tacky that the company who produced this collection decided to insert their ads to get you to go to their site to buy their stuff. Seems to go against much of what Thay is all about and more about desperate capitalism and money. Still the messages from Thay are good, but there are better purchases of his than this to me. So, not one of his best collections in my opinion but any of his dharma talks have great info for living a better life for yourself and the world around you.

Bad quality ripoff from Thay's dharma talks
The audio is of horrible quality, there are some glitches in it. It seems like they just took Thay's dharma talks straight out of YouTube and even put their own advertisements in there and published it. Don't buy this, go to plumvillage YouTube instead and search "Thich Nhat Hanh dharma talk" instead. He is the best teacher there is.

Slow and aimless
What disappointed you about Classic Dharma Talks?
The audio was bad, the speaker kept repeating repeating repeating repeating repeating the same thing over and over. It was tedious. A tree is a tree...I heard you the first five times, move on..
What was most disappointing about Thich Nhat Hanh’s story?
The repetition of the same point.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I did not have a problem understanding the speaker but I could see how someone might struggle with that aspect.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Classic Dharma Talks?
There's too much I would have edited from this book.
Any additional comments?
Waste of a credit.

a chance to listen to the teachings straight from the man himself. this format is recordings of Thay addressing an audience with his teachings, and while there isnt anything particularly groundbreaking if youve had his other books, there is something so special about hearing his voice. such love for him. would recommend to anyone.
if you have never experienced thich nhat hanh, get this book, he presents such accessible and wonderful insights into buddhism without being preachy or getting bogged down in cryptic messages.

I have listened to this book several times in order to gather great insights. I was raised in the Christian tradition and therefore some of the Buddhist perspectives are completely fresh. Just now I have been really helped by the image he gave of anger being like compost, which is necessary for planting the seeed to grow the flower.
