"In Good Citizens: Creating Enlightened Society, Thich Nhat Hanh lays 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. The book is based on our increased global interconnectedness and subsequent need for harmonious communication and a shared ethic to make our increasingly globalized world a more peaceful place. The book will be appreciated by people of all faiths and cultural backgrounds. 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 nondenominational blueprint to overcoming deep-seated divisions and a vision of a world in harmony and the preservation of the planet. Key topics include the true root causes of discrimination; the exploration of the various forms of violence; economic, social, and sexual violence. He encourages the reader to practice nonviolence in all daily interactions, elaborates on the practice of generosity, and teaches the art of deep listening and loving speech to help reach a compromise and reestablish communication after misunderstandings have escalated into conflicts. Good Citizens also contains a new wording of the Five Mindfulness Trainings (traditionally called "precepts") for lay practitioners, bringing them in line with modern-day needs and realities. In their new form they are concrete and practical guidelines of ethical conduct that can be accepted by all traditions. Good Citizens also includes the complete text of the UN Manifesto 2000, a declaration of transforming violence and creating a culture of peace for the benefit of the children of the world. It was drafted by numerous Peace Nobel Prize recipients and signed by over 100 million people worldwide. Coinciding with a US presidential election year, Good Citizens reaches across all political backgrounds and faith traditions. It shows that dualistic thinking--Republican/Democrat, Christian/Muslim--creates tension and a false sense of separateness. When we realize that we share a common ethic and moral code, we can create a community that can change the world"--… (altro)

Great book as expected from Thich Nhat Hanh, I had forgotten that he was a friend and ally with Martin Luther King as he worked to stop the Vietnam war.

The Buddhist contribution to a global ethic contains no dogmas. It doesn’t say that it is right and everything else is wrong. This understanding is what the Buddha discovered from deep practice and deep observation. We each need to practice mindfulness and deep observation so
that we can know the truth for ourselves and not just follow someone else’s teaching.


This is the single biggest piece of advice that I wish everyone of every faith, atheist -jihadist, political party, race.

Flaptekst
Hoe kun je een positief verschil maken, en een stap zetten op weg naar een betere wereld? Compassie, het goede doen en minder consumeren leiden volgens Thich Nhat Hanh naar wereldvrede. Omdat iedereen letterlijk en figuurlijk met elkaar in verbinding staat, is een gedeelde ethiek urgenter dan ooit. De boeddhistische begrippen van Thich Nhat Hanh zijn zo omvattend, dat ze mensen van alle religieuze en politieke overtuigingen zullen aanspreken.
Hoe kun je een positief verschil maken en stappen zetten op weg naar een betere wereld? Thich Nhat Hanh geeft in dit boek een waardevolle boeddhistische bijdrage aan een wereldwijde ethiek.

Mindfulness, concentratie en inzicht helpen om de wereld te begrijpen en te beseffen dat alle dingen onderling verbonden zijn. Thuiskomen bij onszelf is het eerste dat nodig is, ook voor politici, wetenschappers en economen.

In dit boek legt Thich Nhat Hanh de Vier Edele Waarheden op een heldere en praktische manier uit, evenals het Edele Achtvoudige Pad, het pad dat leidt naar heling en geluk voor onszelf en de wereld. De Vijf Aandachtsoefeningen vormen een concrete uitwerking hiervan voor een mondiale spiritualiteit en ethiek.

'Als wij ons dagelijks handelen op deze inzichten baseren, dan zijn wij op weg naar vrede en geluk.'

Urgent en hartverwarmend is dit werk van de wereldberoemde Vietnamese boeddhistische monnik en mensenrechtenactivist. Op zijn bekende, warme en heldere wijze toont hij de lezer - in overzichtelijke hoofdstukken en verfrissend korte paragrafen - de bouwstenen voor een gedeelde, wereldwijde ethiek. Individueel én samen een verschil maken en een unieke bijdrage leveren aan de maatschappij; daartoe zijn we allen in staat. Waarom is dat belangrijk, welk verschil kan dit maken, hoe kan dit het beste worden aangepakt, en welke rol speelt de leer van de Boeddha hierin? Wereldberoemde segmenten uit het boeddhisme worden tegen het licht gehouden en aan de hand van praktische voorbeelden en aansprekende metaforen verhelderd, voor iedereen toepasbaar. Hoewel enkele tekstuele imperfecties over het hoofd zijn gezien, doet dit aan de wijsheid en het belang van dit werk niets af. Bovendien is het handzame boek geschikt voor wie reeds bekend is met het werk van Thich Nhat Hanh en het boeddhisme, maar ook voor diegenen die daarmee een start willen maken.

More or less read as an introduction to Thay's school of Zen Buddhism. I kept waiting for the preliminaries to be over and the focus of “creating enlightened society” to pick up, but Thay really does believe in interbeing: it's all connected. He does talk about creating better society, but he believes that's connected to creating healthier people and healthier connections between people, which is what he's been writing about all along. Still worth reading, it just wasn't at all what I expected. ( )
