Opening the Heart of the Cosmos: Insights on the Lotus Sutra

This book has been re-released with a new title, Peaceful Action, Open Heart. Peaceful Action, Open Heart is available as both a paperback and an ebook. The hardcover edition of Opening the Heart of the Cosmos is out of print. In both editions, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how a revered Buddhist sutra can be a profound guide to transforming ourselves and the world. Teaching universal mindfulness, he speaks with the authority which comes from the depths of a people's suffering and yet has remained open and pure. Opening the Heart of the Cosmos highlights elements of the sutra as keys to global compassion, love, and understanding, while invoking a wide range of contemporary concerns. "This is the great insight of the Mahayana," he says, "that everyone can become a Buddha.".
