Being Peace av Thich Nhat Hanh (krazy4katz)
krazy4katz: Sister Dang Nghiem came from Vietnam to the US, studied to be a doctor, then decided to train as a nun under Thich Nhat Hanh. Beautiful book.

This is such a beautiful book. I read it as my daily dharma reading, slowly over a few months. It was hard to sit with the early chapters which speak of the traumas she was subjected to as a child and the difficulties they and new trauma created for her as a young woman. But sitting with the feelings these pages stirred up in me was rewarding on its own, and allowed me the calm to continue reading, and to be able to witness from afar the emotional intelligence of a dedicated woman, finding healing through her spiritual community, the principles they endeavour to live by, and her application of those principles in challenging times. I am so glad I read Sister Dang Nghiem’s words. (

A true journey in every sense. Written simply, this Vietnamese girl grew up during the Vietnam war, the daughter of a Vietnamese woman and an American soldier she never met. No food, no family, no lovingkindness. She was physically and sexually assaulted many times before she and her brother came alone to the United States several years after the war ended. The rest of the story is her attempt to heal herself by becoming a physician and then a nun at Plum Village with Thich Nhat Hanh. Everything she says about Buddhism I have heard before, but hearing it from someone who has suffered so much makes it much more real. Her recovery and ability to help others is truly wonderful and inspiring. (
