The Way Out Is In: The Zen Calligraphy of Thich Nhat Hanh

Inspiring calligraphies from one of the world’s most revered teachers of Zen Buddhism

Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh is best known as a prolific author, poet, teacher, scholar and peace activist. Yet he is also a master calligrapher, distilling ancient Buddhist teachings into simple phrases that resonate with our modern times, capturing and expressing his lifetime of meditative insight, peace and compassion.

This book offers a rare opportunity to spend time in the presence of his beautiful creations. For Thich Nhat Hanh, creating calligraphy is more than creating art – it is also a meditative practice. He is fully present for every moment, from drinking his tea, to sitting down and taking a brush, and using the tea to make the ink.

Each calligraphy is made of mindful sitting, breathing, walking, smiling
– and love.

Thich Nhat Hanh is the author of over 100 books, including the bestselling The Miracle of Mindfulness, Peace is Every Step and The Art of Power. He is the founder of Plum Village, Europe’s largest Buddhist monastery, near Bordeaux in southwest France.
