In Love and Trust
Letters from a Zen Master
Author: Thích Nhất Hạnh
Published: October 22, 2022
Experience Zen master Thích Nhất Hạnh’s expressions of love, connection, and wisdom through archival photos and personal letters—now published in English for the very first time.
Widely recognized for his deep and accessible teachings on the art of mindful living, Thích Nhất Hạnh 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 Thích Nhất Hạnh 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 Thích Nhất Hạnh 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 Thầy’s teachings—and Thầy’s 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 archival photos and Thích Nhất Hạnh’s own handwriting throughout.
