Customer Reviews

Super cute little book about everything that's important.

Really all you need to know on your spiritual path boils down to this.

Be Still

We all 'look for love in all the wrong places'. This book brings us home to the real thing.

Practice True Love!

I agree with another reviewer of this book that it is a little piece of poetry. However, this book is not meant to be just for information or for its teachings to be turned into belief or to be idealized, but instead the teachings in this book were meant to be practiced. Become love for your spouse, your children and everyone around you, and see life blossom...for you and all of those touched by true love!

Be Love

This is a little book you can read within a couple of sittings, and if you are open to it, it will open your heart. It's not a book about relationships or about fixing problems -- it's about changing your perspective, becoming still and present to your experience. You don't need to search for love elsewhere -- if you can consistently practice what Thich Nhat Hanh calls "mindfulness", you will *be* love and you will see it everywhere. When I was done reading this book, I felt a sense of peace and presence and a wonderful knowing that all the love I ever need is right here in my own heart.
