In Love and Trust - Letters from a Zen Master

Experience Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh’s expressions of love, connection, and wisdom through deep and personal letters—now published in English for the very first time.

Widely recognized for his profound yet accessible teachings on the art of mindful living, Thich Nhat Hanh lived a rich life dedicated to fostering community and connection within and outside of the monastery walls. In Love and Trust offers a striking look at Thich Nhat Hanh as seen through his intimate letters to monastics, lay practitioners, allies in the peace movement, and other friends on the path. Through these touching pieces of correspondence, we see Thich Nhat Hanh at his warmest and most inspirational, at his most candid and direct. These personal messages of love and trust demonstrate the deeply human origins of Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings—and his own deeply human expression of them. 

In Love and Trust is composed primarily of newly translated letters, presented here in English for the first time. The book features images of archival, hand-written letters throughout.
