Creating True Peace is both a profound work of spiritual guidance and a practical blueprint for peaceful inner change and global change. It is the Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh's answer to our deep-rooted crisis of violence and our feelings of helplessness, victimization, and fear. As a world-renowned writer, scholar, spiritual leader, and Zen Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the most visible, revered activists for peace and Engaged Buddhism -- the practice he created that combines mindful living and social action. Having lived through two wars in his native Vietnam, he works to prevent conflict of all kinds -- from the internal violence of individual thoughts to interpersonal and international aggression.
Now, in this new book, perhaps his most important work to date, Thich Nhat Hanh uses a beautiful blend of visionary insight, inspiring stories of peacemaking, and a combination of meditation practices and instruction to show us how to take Right Action. A book for people of all faiths, it is a magnum opus -- a compendium of peace practices that can help anyone practice nonviolent thought and behavior, even in the midst of world upheaval.
More than any of his previous books, Creating True Peace tells stories of Thich Nhat Hanh and his students practicing peace during wartime. These demonstrate that violence is an outmoded response we can no longer afford. The simple, but powerful daily actions and everyday interactions that Thich Nhat Hanh recommends can root out violence where it lives in our hearts and minds and help us discover the power to create peace at every level of life -- personal, family, neighborhood, community, state, nation, and world.
Whether dealing with extreme emotions and challenging situations or managing interpersonal and international conflicts, Thich Nhat Hanh relies on the 2,600-year-old traditional wisdom and scholarship of the Buddha, as well as other great scriptures. He teaches us to look more deeply into our thoughts and lives so that we can know what to do and what not to do to transform them into something better. With a combination of courage, sweetness, and candor, he tells us that we can make a difference; we are not helpless; we can create peace here and now. Creating True Peace shows us how.

Dress look, without paying, big dollars!

Well worth the $. With a sweater, perfectly fine for winter wear. Without a sweater? Perfect for fall Nice look You’ll need to have it ironed, in that it comes in a very small plastic. Minor ironing! A good buy!!

Very nice jacket/coat for the price
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This was purchased to wear with a tuxedo for northern winter wear. The size XL is what he normally wears. It fit well over a tux shirt, vest and jacket. The length is perfect for a man; it covers the tux but does not get tangled in knees. It is lined in a satiny fabric. The wool type material is a bit rough, not soft, but it does the job. The black is rich looking and provides warmth for really cold weather. This jacket can easily be worn for casual wear. Should only be dry cleaned, but doubt it will ever really need to be cleaned.

Actually violet color and looks nothing like picture
Size: Large, Color: Red
Bait-n-switch. What arrives looks nothing like the photo. Its purple/pink and a misshapen ladies coat. Really low quality. And why they make them 90% polyester is crazy - just waiting to explode in flames!

Better than expected
Size: Large, Color: Black
Nice weight and kept me warm in 20 degree weather. I recommend adding a scarf for your neck line but this coat gives a nice clean but dramatic look.
