About this ebook
Experience Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh’s expressions of love, connection, and wisdom through deep and personal letters—now published in English for the very first time.
Widely recognized for his profound yet accessible teachings on the art of mindful living, Thich Nhat Hanh lived a rich life dedicated to fostering community and connection within and outside of the monastery walls. In Love and Trust offers a striking look at Thich Nhat Hanh as seen through his intimate letters to monastics, lay practitioners, allies in the peace movement, and other friends on the path. Through these touching pieces of correspondence, we see Thich Nhat Hanh at his warmest and most inspirational, at his most candid and direct. These personal messages of love and trust demonstrate the deeply human origins of Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings—and his own deeply human expression of them.
In Love and Trust is composed primarily of newly translated letters, presented here in English for the first time. The book features images of archival, hand-written letters throughout.

About the author
Thich Nhat Hanh, a world-renowned spiritual teacher and peace activist, was born in Vietnam in 1926 and became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. Over seven decades of teaching, he published more than one hundred books, which have sold millions of copies. Exiled from Vietnam in 1966 for promoting peace, his teachings on Buddhism as a path to social and political transformation are responsible for bringing the mindfulness movement to the West. He established the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism in France, now the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe and the heart of a growing community of mindfulness practice centers around the world. Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh passed away in 2022 at the age of ninety-five at his root temple, Tu Hieu, in Hue, Vietnam, surrounded by his beloved community.
