You think you are reading an autobiography, yet instead you are also getting a life lesson. Pearls of Wisdom one person who saw the early draft of this book state. She is fearless and one of the truly underrated people in buddhist history. A must read!!!
This is essential background reading to the teachings of Vietnamese Buddhist monk teacher, social change, and peace activist, Thich Nhat Hanh, as well as on the peace movement generally and the work of young monks and nuns like Sister Chan Khong in Vietnam.
