When Thich Nhat Hanh was a 24yearold monk he fell desperately in love with anun of 20. He couldnt sleep and stayed up all night writing poetry. This booktaps that experience in an ambitious double narrative that interweaves hismemories of that first love with how it was transmuted into boddhichitta witha thoughtful study of the Mahayana Buddhist sutras. Through this unusualapproach Nhat Hanh shows readers how to nurture their own mind of love andbring joy and hope to themselves and those around them. «
