2023 December, 16. The Peace of the Divine Reality, Thích Nhất Hạnh. In his article, “The Peace of the Divine Reality,” Thích Nhất Hạnh, describes being fully alive to the peace and joy of each moment as living in the divine and earthly realities simultaneously. Nhất Hạnh was a Buddhist monk (he died on January 22, 2022) and wrote many books on the topic of peace and mindfulness. As we reflect on this article we will explore the nature of peace and joy, not as things to be obtained, but as inherent and fundamental to reality itself, if only we were to notice.
