Sommario/riassunto: In Thundering Silence, Thich Nhat Hanh presents the early teachings of the Buddha on how to see reality clearly without becoming caught by notions and ideologies, however noble. These teachings illustrate how playfulness, openness, and non-attachment from views are essential elements for liberating us from our mental contructions so that we can enjoy our lives more fully. Nhat Hanh demonstrates the practicla applications of these teachings in everyday life. Near the end of his life, the Buddha declared, "during forty-five years, I have not said a word" to encourage his students to avoid being caught by words or ideas." Thich Nhat Hanh calls this "the thundering silence of a Buddha.".
