Wie Siddhartha zum Buddha wurde

Wie Siddhartha zum Buddha wurde – Thich Nhat Hanh

Wie Siddhartha zum Buddha wurde ist weit mehr als die Beschreibung eines außergewöhnlichen Lebensweges. Die Darstel-lung und Erläuterung der wichtigsten Lehren des Buddha machen dieses Buch darüber hinaus zu einer hervorragenden Einführung in die geistige Welt des Buddhismus und lassen verstehen, warum diese Weltreligion auch im Westen immer mehr Menschen fasziniert.

Auteur

Thich Nhat Hanh (1926–2022) was​ a Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master, poet, and peace activist and one of the most revered and influential spiritual teachers in the world​. Born in 1926, he became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. His work for peace and reconciliation during the war in Vietnam moved Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. In Vietnam, Thich Nhat Hanh founded Van Hanh Buddhist University and the School of Youth for Social Service, a corps of Buddhist peace​ workers. Exiled as a result of his work for peace, he continued his humanitarian efforts, rescuing boat people and helping to resettle refugees. ​In 1982 he established Plum Village France, the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe​ and the hub of the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism​.​​ Over seven decades of teaching, he published a hundred books, which have been translated into more than forty languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide.
