Editorial Review:

Leading Vietnamese Zen teacher and author of many books (including the bestsellers Being Peace, Living Buddha/Living Christ, The Miracle of Mindfulness and Peace Is Every Step), Thich Nhat Hanh has had a profound impact on contemporary thinking and, importantly, social action. His efforts to achieve an early peaceful end to the American war in Vietnam earned him a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and a forty-year exile from his homeland.

Peace Is Every Step is an intimate and direct portrait of of a monk who has lived through war and fought back with meditation, love and grace under fire, testimony to the faith that simple practices and insights drawn from (but not by any means limited to) the Buddhist meditative tradition can help change conditions for the better: on a personal level, in the family, in the community, in a nation and in the world.

Narrated by Ben Kingsley Produced and Directed by Gaetano Kazuo Maida

• Filmed on location in Plum Village, France; Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington, D.C.; and at retreats around the U.S. • Plus: rare archival footage from Vietnam in the 1960s

Bonus feature: Touching Peace—An Evening With Thich Nhat Hanh This 90-minute public talk before an audience of 3500 in Berkeley, California; introduced by author/activist Joanna Macy.

Pathways of Peace and Reconciliation

Peace and reconciliation are the main themes presented in this interesting and moving video. A simple and humble Buddhist monk and teacher speaks eloquently and compassionatly of the experiences of his people, and of Americans as well, before, during and in the wake of the troubling years of the Vietnam War.

Thich Nhat Hanh's healing message of reconciliation for war veterans, widows, orphans and refugees is a bright beacon of hope, as relevent in today's world as it was in the 60's. The 90 minute Bonus Feature "Touching Peace" gives us an intimate glance into the heart and soul of this modern day St.Francis in saffron robes. It is a truly remarkable and inspiring film.

Peace is every step-Meditation. Thich Nhat Hanh

Amazing Nobel peace prize nominee, Thich Nhat Hanh.
He has spent the last 50 years telling people of the futility of war, after himself surviving it in his native Vietnam.
Very humbling, peace instilling film.

The meaning of engaged Buddhism

Great introductory film on Thick Nhat Hahn's life. It will move those who have seen him teaching or read his books and hopefully it will inspire those who haven't just yet. Here is a real master of compassion and engaged humanity but also a humble monk and meditator. The DVD offers a narrative about his life and work and a public speech; both equally captivating.

Another Vote for the Bonus!!

Peace Is Every Step and the Bonus, Touching Peace, are very different...but, both are good. You will learn who the man is in the feature, and you will get some powerful insight on war and peace. In the bonus, Thich Nhat Hanh is your teacher...just like you attended the talk in Berkley yourself. This dvd has so much healing potential. I wish everyone could see it.
