Sean Bala reviewed The Other Shore by Thích Nhất Hạnh
Review of 'The other shore' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
"The Other Shore" by Thich Nhat Hanh is the last book he completed before he suffered a massive stroke in 2014. I feel like it one of the best gifts he could have given. It is an insightful, lucid translation of the Heart Sutra that tries to capture its nuances for a 21st century audience. The commentary is excellent and I felt like I understood many of its concepts much more deeply from his teachings. While I really like his other books like [b:The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation|209574|The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation|Thich Nhat Hanh|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1360857814l/209574.SY75.jpg|202839], I feel like this one is more focused and encapsulates many of the themes that he has been teaching for his entire career.
