Publisher's summary

Learn how complete awareness can open the door to lasting transformation in work, worship, love, and all other areas of your life. Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's acclaimed theory of mindfulness explores ways to shine the light of awareness into our intimate relationships. He examines Buddhism's four basic qualities of authentic love: kindness, compassion, joy, and freedom. By looking deeply into ourselves and our loved ones, these qualities blossom effortlessly within our hearts and souls, spiritually nourishing us and everyone around us. Thich Nhat Hanh skillfully weaves together traditional stories, personal experiences, step-by-step instructions, and core concepts, making Teachings on Love a time-proven journey towards finding the miracle and self-fulfillment of authentic love.

Wonderful

This is one of my favoriate books by Thich Nhat Hanh. It is the foundations of his teachings and one that I have referred back to over and over.

Snooze fest

I got about five minutes through before getting bored to death. The narration goes at a snail's pace, the narrator has a very thick accent that makes the audio feel clunky, and the content just feels like a series of very obvious and not insightful statements.

The Master

Would you consider the audio edition of Teachings on Love to be better than the print version?

The Master is incredible. It would have been even better if the recording had been remastered to edit out the coughing in the audience, which at times became distracting.

Thich Nhat Hanh is the most engaging and warm monk

The writings of Thich Nhat Hanh are wonderful - they are engaging, encouraging, warm, lovingly expressed, funny at times and inspirational. This Audible Book is absolutely wonderful because the narrator is Thich Nhat Hanh himself, speaking his beliefs in his sweet caring voice and manner, and, since it is a recording of a live session at the Omega Institute, you can hear the appreciative laughs from the audience , as well as the beautiful sound of the bell for meditation. I would recommend any book and book on tape written and read by Thich Nhat Hanh.

Absolutely Transforming!

What made the experience of listening to Teachings on Love the most enjoyable?

The stories that are told are very inspirational.

What other book might you compare Teachings on Love to and why?

I would compare it to "The Present Moment" by Thich Nhat Hanh. The content is different and yet the message of love and compassion is very similar.

Which scene was your favorite?

The story of David and Angelina was my favourite!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, the moment when Thich Nhat Hanh says that his driver is his "Angelina". And when he describes having a wall of "Angelina's". And it inspired me so much to think of all the "Angelina's" in my life and to honour them.

Any additional comments?

Love and compassion radiates throughout this recording.

5 stars for substance, 4 stars for organization

I listened to "Fidelity" first and the information here is largely the same, with the difference being of course, Thay's voice and the fact that this is a recording from one (or more) of his live talks. "Fidelity' also has the audiobook nicely organized into multiple chapters detailing specific practices which is helpful for a habitual hopper like me. This audiobook, on the other hand, is organized into two 1 hour long chapters, so you may find yourself having to make more bookmarks along the way.

Teachings of Love

The only thing about this Audible book was that the audience kept coughing & making noises throughout the entire book! There were a couple babies and kids talking too! It really took away from the calm & peace of the author’s voice & the teachings of the book.

Worth the time

I was left smiling, at peace, after listening. Many pearls of Love’s Wisdom were received. May listen again in the near future. Thank you TNN!
