A Zen monk and peace activist shares his vision for creating a peaceful, globalized world through non-violent communication and a shared moral code. In Good Citizens, Thich Nhat Hanhays out the foundation for an international solidarity movement based on a shared sense of compassion, mindful consumption, and right action. Following these principles, he believes, is the path to world peace. While based on the basic Buddhist teachings of the Four Noble Truths and the Eight-Fold Path, Thich Nhat Hanh boldly leaves Buddhist terms behind as he offers his contribution to the creation of a truly global and non-denominational blueprint to overcoming deep-seated divisions and a vision of a world in harmony and the preservation of the planet.
