Most of us live in a constant state of fear - of our past, of illness and aging and death, and of losing the things we treasure most. But it doesn't have to be this way, promises Zen master and Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh.

The world-renowned Zen teacher guides us through practical exercises for transforming fear into clarity.

background noises really distracting
Would you listen to Touching the Earth again? Why?
The content here is absolutely great. The background noises which are just as loud as the
speaker are absolutely ridiculous-constant coughing sneezing, endless, really endless.. These people have been making recordings for years and should be able to filter out these distractions. It came to the point where I had to stop listening.

Love hearing Thich...the sister well
I could listen to Thich for endless hours...and i already have. In this recording I loved hearing him introduce the prostrations...when sister Chan spoke..well it almost felt like a Saturday night live sketch...this could just be me... and unfair, but I just didn't connect to her..

A book full of wisdom, joy, peace.
Thich Nhat Hanh has a unique way of transmitting information because he IS peace and joy.
In the words of Meister Eckhart, he remains identitcal to peace. He embodies joy and love. His tone and pace convey this. So all the great important points--on releasement, non atachment, impermanence--all of that is there, but listening to him becomes meditation.
This is one I will read over and over again.

Thich Nhat Hanh's and Sister Chan Khong's wisdom
Lovely interweaving of seeing the Buddha as a spiritual teacher and embracing one's own childhood faith as well. Very skilful understanding too of 'acceptance', made me understand forgiveness in a new way.
