THE STONE BOY AND OTHER STORIES

THICH NHAT HANH

“Like the depth that comes with mindful breathing, Thich Nhat Hanh’s restrained prose plumbs both visible and invisible world with skill and ease. These are brilliant, powerful-verging on cathartic- stories infused with penetrating wisdom and united awakening to the sacredness of all life.”

In The Stone Boy and Others, Thich Nhat Hanh’s newly assembled collection of short fiction, well-known Zen monk and peace activist explore Buddhist themes of love and compassion while introducing the reader to the treasure of Vietnamese culture. A gifted wordsmith and storyteller, Nhat Hanh uses the medium of short fiction to examine the difficult themes of war, exodus, living in exile, egoism, institutional oppression, and the master-disciple relationship. Weaving the actual and the magic into a seamless tapestry, he guides the reader to the realization of the miraclulousness of daily life and the interconnectedness- “interbeing”- of all the things.
