Nautilus Award Finalist

The renowned Zen’s monk’s profound study of Buddhist psychology—with insights into how these ancient teachings apply to the modern world

Based on the fifty verses on the nature of consciousness taken from the great fifth-century Buddhist master Vasubandhu and the teachings of the Avatamsaka Sutra, Thich Nhat Hanh focuses on the direct experience of recognizing, embracing, and looking deeply into the nature of our feelings and perceptions.

Presenting the basic teachings of Buddhist applied psychology, Understanding Our Mind shows us how our mind is like a field, where every kind of seed is planted—seeds of suffering, anger, happiness, and peace. The quality of our life depends on the quality of the seeds in our mind. If we know how to water seeds of joy and transform seeds of suffering, then understanding, love, and compassion will flower. Vietnamese Zen Master Thuong Chieu said, “When we understand how our mind works, the practice becomes easy.”

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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.

In-Depth and an important journey

Highly recommend this book. A small bit of advice would be to dwell in the teachings one day at a time. Taking it all in would not serve the purpose unless you can manifest the teachings skillfully - a quality only a few people possess.

A good introduction to Buddhist psychology, written in a simple way, as most books by Thich Nhat Hanh are, but a gem to get introduced to how our mind works, and how to transform our suffering! Both for intellectual readers and practitioners, but also for those looking to change the way we live our life.

If you're thinking of knowing your mind to the extent that you're empowered enough to unravel its very mysteries, this is a powerful starting and ending point.

This book offers some good advice and makes you think differently, but I found it quite hard going to keep reading, I have yet to complete the book and have left it to one side whilst I read another book the miracle of mindfulness, from the same author which is much more light hearted.

I heard about this book from a friend who has been reading various books about Buddhism. This one is easy to read and understand. It is not a book that I read straight through from start to finish but rather one that I dip into from time to time.
