Advance Praise & Reviews "A warm, accessible introduction to the life and teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, written with the insight of a close friend and fellow peace activist." -- Publishers Weekly "A thoughtful and engaging portrait that will appeal to readers interested in spirituality, peacemaking, and interreligious understanding." -- Library Journal "Offers firsthand insight into Thich Nhat Hanh's spirituality, compassion, and commitment to nonviolence." -- Tricycle: The Buddhist Review "Two of the special qualities of Eyes of Compassion are Jim Forrest's wonderful collection of photographs of Thich Nhat Hahn, members of his communities, as well as reproductions of his calligraphy; they add a fresh dimension to this paperback. The other is the Zen Master's enactment of boundless compassion." -- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality & Practice "Jim and Thay died within a couple weeks of each other in January of this year - and this little book is a fitting adieu to a long friendship. In it, these two peacemakers show us that hope and humor, love and laughter, need not be threatened by darkness and war. Evil, Thay tells Jim, turns out to be nothing at all; and recalling Merton's epiphany at Polonnaruwa, he asserts "everything is good".
