### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accessible Reading of a Difficult Sutra
*by T***R on September 25, 2024*

The Other Shore.... is one of the most important texts I have read on deciphering Buddhist sutras. It offers a revision of some words in the original text, which makes the sutra completely understandable to this Western Buddhist. It is concise, thoughtful, and beautiful. I will be keeping this text in my library.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My fave of his along with Cultivating the Mind of Love
*by S***D on June 28, 2023*

There is a lot of repetition, which at times annoyed me when I had already gotten, but I appreciated when I didn't and needed further examples in hopes to understand one of them. To get a lot out of it you have to invest time to not only read but to think stop and reflect. You need some fundamentals first to better understand it, and similar to Old Path, White Clouds there can be some fluff between gems, but the gems are worth it. Unlike Old Path, the fluff here is repetition versus true fluff. An easier read is No Mud, No Lotus, but if you have some basics down and want more this is where to go. Cultivating The Mind of Love also pairs well with this, especially for him to admit he was in love with a nun.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Other Shore, Thich Nhat Hanh
*by D***A on February 23, 2023*

The book presents the most unintuitive aspects of Buddhism to a general audience, such as emptiness, no-self, and impermanence. Hanh is able to aptly explain the fine-tuned way in which Buddhists attempt to navigate between extremes of being and non-being, of emptiness and form, and even briefly comments on mind and body problems in modern scientific investigations. Overall the book presents Buddhism as offering a relief from the suffering of the modern individual, anxious about one’s own place in the world and what to do about the mental strain of enormous problems like climate change or world hunger while retaining a strong sense of compassion and even-temperateness. When I reflect on the book I wish I had come across it earlier (say 2016) and that I had had more exposure to the wisdom that Buddhism offers to the world community in the 21st century. I look forward to reading more from Thich Nhat Hanh.
