« Our true home is in the present moment. To live in the present moment is a miracle. Peace is all around us - in the world and in nature - and witihn us - in our bodies and our spirits. Once we learn to touch this peace, we will be healed and transformed. It is not a matter of faith, it is a matter of practice. » Thich Nhat Hanh
« Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the connection between personal, inner peace and peace on earth. » His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
« Thich Nhat Hanh writes with the voice of the Buddha » Sogyal Rinpoche.
« I do not personally know of anyone more worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize than this gentle Buddhist monk from Vietnam...I know Thich Nhat Hanh, and am privileged to call him my friend .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.
