PEACE IS EVERY BREATH

Thich Nhat Hahn's strength as a Buddhist teacher is his ability to express complex concepts in simple, everyday terms and situations. He seeks to demystify many Buddhist philosophical concepts and meditative practices and show listeners how they can be used in our daily lives. He doesn't offer an escape from the modern world and what he sees as growing unhappiness but suggests a healthier way to engage the world and the problems we face. Dan Woren offers a solid, steady narration. It's warm without being cloying, straightforward without being sleep inducing. He uses strategic pauses to let key concepts sink in before moving on to the next point. R.C.G. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2011]
