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

Customer Reviews:




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.

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.
